yeah. If after popping your neck your neck is sore, dont do it again for a couple of hours.

i'm the same way

yup

i mean i guess its ok now, but it can harm you in the future if you do it everyday
you wil most likely end up getting authritis in your neck

No. What you're doing is dangerous. Not only are you weakening your ligaments that hold your cervical bones in place, you are also damaging the discs (cushion pads) between those neck bones. Eventually, your condition will get much worse to the point that you may require spinal fusion surgery.

I advise that you seek out a special type of chiropractor to investigate why your neck is in pain or unstable.

NOOOO!!! It is not OK to be doing that as often as you are. My patients ask me about this all the time and here is what I tell them.
Ligaments are what hold bones together and they provide support and stability to joints. Each time you pop your own neck you're putting a tiny stretch on the ligaments that hold that joint together. Now from time to time it is no big deal...the ligaments can handle the strain and they are fine. But when it becomes a habitual activity then it can be damaging to the ligaments and potentially cause the joint to become unstable. An unstable joint will degenerate faster and can cause problems later in life. Bottom line is that if you must do it then it should be done only occasionally. If it is something that is bothering you on a daily basis you should have a Chiropractor take a look and see if there might be a more serious underlying problem.

Hope that helps.
