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 the displacement of the vertebrae, explained the osteopath.

The doctor clarified that the pathological crunch is similar to the grinding of sand or the crunch 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.

Neck crunch is normal for children and young people with a thin physique, since this sound occurs due to hypermobility of the vertebra.

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