What does a crunch in the neck signal

0

If you hear a rough crunch when you turn your neck, you should undergo a medical examination. This may be a consequence of the deposition of salts and osteophytes, which resulted in displacement of the vertebrae, the osteopath explained.

The doctor clarified that the pathological crunching sound is similar to grinding sand or the crunching of snow. Osteophytes can cause damage to soft and nervous tissues, blood vessels, and also provoke pain in the cervical spine. Most often, a strange crunch in the neck occurs in people who have a sedentary job.

Cervical crackles are normal for children and young people with a thin build, as this sound is caused by the hypermobility of the vertebra.

It is necessary to monitor the strength of the bones, since constant crunches in various parts of the body can warn of the development of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Such pathologies often occur in smokers.
