What Causes Popping Sensation In The Neck While Turning The Head?

Hi, I have some popping in my neck on the left side that only occurs when I turn my head a certain way (although I haven t figured out exactly which way), but it didn t start until shortly after I fell a few days ago. I have a lot of tension in the top of my shoulders, which I often have but has increased since the fall. Could it be muscle tension causing the popping? I m not having nect pain per se, just the popping...?

Hello,

The popping sounds while turning on the head may be related to cervical spine issues. The stress and fatigue may also make it worse. Do a x-ray of cervical spine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
