What Causes Clicking Sound In The Neck Upon Head Movement?
Question: I experience clicking in neck when rotating head side to side. I know I have C5/6 disc fusion. The clicking is most apparent after sleeping. I take osteo bi-flex for joint support.
Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry, continue physiotherapy
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
At this age, disc prolapse, osteoporosis and osteophytes are common.
If there is no pain, Physiotherapy and calcium supplements should be continued only.
Clicking sounds should not be focused much.
In case of any we in limbs, sensation loss or urinary complains imaging of cervical spine should be planned.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
