OMG the beginning of that video sounds exactly how my neck has been sounding for the past month. No pain but I literally feel like I'm grinding my bones together.
@@drjonsaunders it has actually. It was scrunching and grinding like this for a couple of months, but stopped now. How can that be? Any idea why this is intermittent?
Update: since Saturday, I now have shooting pain down my right arm, and numbness in my pinky (c8?). It comes and goes... Once your back starts to deteriorate, it's one after another... Protect your back people posture is important!
You are a good man. Thank you sir. I’m 51 years old 6’6” and have been a tree trimmer for almost 32 years. I have had a lot of spine issues, including a c1 fracture. Pain is part of my everyday life. I started using your advice approximately a month ago and I can already tell a difference. Simple, but very effective. I feel like I owe you money. Thank you 🙏
OMG the grinding sound at the beginning of the video is exactly what I heard! Thank you so much Doctor! I have already been working a couple of stretching exercises with my physical therapist to address my shoulder and neck pain, and I will add this also to my exercise list.
I am so glad I stumbled upon this video. I have crunchy neck arthritis and lots of headaches from it (no Pain in my neck thank God). After only a few days (seriously!) doing these exercises (carefully), I don't have headaches (and don't have to wear my cervical neck brace which helped the headaches!). I noticed my range of motion on the left side (always worse than the right) has been a LOT better. Thank you so much!
I've been dealing with this for about almost a couple years pinched nerves pinched nerves in the upper neck area which is causing so much pain in the head a occipital neuralgia throat pain you name it. I'm on my second day doing this stuff on your video and I can already tell a difference. I pray to God in the coming month or two I keep doing this and it just keeps getting better and better because I can tell a difference already. Thank you so much I'll keep you updated
73 years old longhaul truck driver for 56 years.Recently had successful hip surgery.the noisy neck I have had for upwards of 15 years.Thank you for your insight and help with these stretches.Tingly on right hand much better now *( 7-10 days only 3 times a day )* My respect always. Midland Ontario
Hi Doctor Jon, I have just found your videos and have begun trying some of the exercises. I have spent the last 66 years sitting at a desk typing (I'm 82) and have really bad neck and shoulder pain. But even after only 10 minutes of your exercises I feel much better. I will be back in another 4 weeks when, hopefully I will be much better. Thank you.
This worked amazingly for me. My neck was like a grinding machine and it's 99% fixed. It did take a good month and a half of doing daily, most days twice, to be honest, but it did work! I'll definitely keep doing it at least once until the day I die 😅😅
Hey did grinding started after chiro neck adjustment or an accident...mine happens when i move to left extreme and retrace it...thats when i makes grinding and some other angels also...pls provide input cuz it depressing n haunting
Thank you! Have had this issue for months and have been getting massages and seeing physical therapists but doing these exercises really seems to help - perhaps even more than the other stuff I was doing!
Thanks Dr. for your video. Before working on the neck the best is to work on the shoulders by moving the hands in variety of directions, in particular hand circling clock wise &counterclockwise are very helpful on any neck issues. Those with severe neck pain should wok on their shoulders for a while before neck.
Can you make another video explaining everything on more detail because I am blind? If I have to lay down or if I need to sit down and or if I need to stand. What happened to me was that earlier I was laying down on the couch for like around 40 minutes on the regular square pillow and I started getting slightly pain on the right top side of my neck near the ear side. But there was no sound at that moment. Then I lay down on my bed to rest for a little bit and started getting those cracking sounds. And I started getting worry. That something bad is going to happen. The little pain that I was getting on my neck. I had it in the past but it always goes away after like 20 minutes. But when I lay down on the bed and hear cracking sounds . it’s something new to me. I want to make sure that I can troubleshoot it if it’s not dangerous and if it’s dangerous then I want to go to the doctor. . Please can you help me? If there’s a way I can contact you. So I can explain better
I just discovered your channel and watched a couple of videos as I have a lot going on with my neck. Your videos are extremely simple, informative, and easy to follow. Thank your for the work you're doing 🙏
This really works! I couldn't even sleep because of this stiffness I had in my neck.I was in a 4 car pile up two years ago .Whie stopped at a red light I was rear ended.I was looking out the window at the time so my head was turned to the left when I was hit.I unfortunately still have neck and back pain to this day.Thank you so much!
The 2nd stretch, going forward was fine but going backwards, I was so stiff and uncomfortable! I'm going try do these stretches twice a day! I just tried them now and I can already feel a slight difference! Thank you!!
Im 23 years old and I've been having neck pain since 16.. I never had good exercises that didn't hurt like crap. (Due to chronic pain) these exercises actually make me feel so much relief 🙏🏻
I’ve been doing Jiu Jitsu for about a year before I started to notice these odd grinding/clicking sounds coming from my neck. No pain tho. Thanks for the video doc.
Thank you Dr. The exercises helped tremendously. Less stiffness and greater range of motion.I have been restoring an old truck through the summer and have developed tightness in my neck with those popping sounds. My wife even heard that grinding and couldn't believe it came from my neck. Lol. Thanks again.
Thank you for the exercises. I have been having the grinding in my neck for quite a while sometimes my Fingers turn white like I have a pinched nerve. I can't afford going to the chiropractor as they always want to sign me up for a treatment program similar to a timeshare presentation which I can't afford so I just live with it and eventually it goes away with movement. I will follow your routines and hope it helps.
Are you kidding me??? I’ve been trying to stretch my neck for about three weeks now. It’s been so stiff and painful and something in my neck and upper back has been so tight that it’s making other joints in my body crack too. Had to go to urgent care for anti inflammatory and muscle relaxers. A week later and still cracking! I just did this, and for some reason this specific sequence of exercises has seemed to help just on one go. What are you, some kind of magician? We shall see if it continues to help on repeat attempts.
Ive been struggling and stressed about the grinding sound on my neck.. after watching this i just follow the stretching forward and holding back and i felt relieved because the sound was lessen 80%. Thank you doc. This sounds scares me and i dun almost want to move
This was really helpfull. I had the sound when tilting my head side to side like a bengulem... but it was because I’m doing it with bad posture putting it under stress. Thanks
Hi everybody, it works for me. After 5 days doing These exercises i have noticed a difference. I have a big hope. Thanks a lot Dr. Jon. Greets Jas from germany
The protraction was so difficult hardly any moment and the semi-circular too uncomfortable. I have enjoyed your video and am grateful for your help. I also haave tingling in the back of my skull from the base to the top. Could a nerve be trapped?
Will be trying this out. I have lots of grinding popping sensations every time I turn my head to the left. Decided to see a chiropractor and am overall stiff and sore in my neck and back. Perhaps i was not relaxed. May need to see a GP tp reevaluate. Maybe chiropractic isn't for me.
It's not unusual to be sore after your first few visits, tell your chiropractor. It's like exercising for the first time, it should become better after a few visits. Take care.
Hey Doc, this neck crackling sound was self-induced by accident. I turned my head rapidly on one side one day and now whenever I produce that same motion the crackling sounds always happens (without pain or swelling) It actually feels like it's literally behind my skull and not my neck. It's been 2 weeks that it hasn't gone away and I am getting concerned. Thanks for the neck exercises. I will try it.
Thank you Doc for this very informative video about neck concern. I have a neck problem like clicking popping, grinding when I move it to the left and it's sounds weird, it's started when my anxiety attacks and it's like due to stress, over stretching my neck also. I'm dealing this clicking for almost 2 months. I went to PT I had 3 sessions but no improvement Doc. Hope you will notice my concern. Thank you so much Doc. God Bless.
I went to sleep woke up and had this Everytime I turn my head to left and right it sounds like sand grinding. Does not hurt but it's been doing it everyday since that morning I woke up last few months. No pain just grinding sound. Thanks for these suggestions.
@@drjonsaunders Hi. I have a question, Do you know how long neck grinding can last for? Does it go and come back? It’s been my concern for awhile. I would love for you to answer!
I hear them almost always while turning my neck in a circle, usually it doesnt hurt but sometimes I fell motion in my biggest vertebral and rarely it can hurt a little. I dont know how to explain properly it happens when i make huge circles with my neck, but with normal circles it doesnt hurt and i dont fell a lot of motion. great video btw!
Hi Dr Jon thanks for your efforts putting up these helpful videos. Can I check if a treatment that I come across called MBST s form of magnetic therapy help cure the grinding sounds that are getting louder in my neck when it turns. Thanks 🙏
Hey Doc, thank you for the awesome video! Started twice a day and I'm wondering if you think the iron neck device is safe and useful if used correctly?
Hi Dr. Jon, I've started these exercises, going slowly as per your video. You mentioned over a period of weeks to notice improvements. How long before improvements are noticeable? 3 weeks? 6 weeks? And is it realistic that the grinding / popping can be eliminated? Thx for your advice.
Usually a minimum of 6 weeks...if you have degenerative disc disease and/or a neck aligment issue you will likely need some professional help from a chiro who will be able to help reduce the sounds as much as possible...best of luck.
I got this noise after i got my neck cracked by a known chiro...went there to cure up my tmj & was scared to go to chiro again... Thanks alot it helped me remove click noise towards left but grinding is still there.. and may be it,l go away by exercises
@@drjonsaunders Does this happens after chiro cracking neck usually ? Or he mis aligned my neck ?...also pls tell me will this exercise align my neck or i need to do something else also?
I have a clicking high sound when i turn my neck to the left at any angle .. it doesn't cause a great pain .. i feel like pulsing in my head .. my neck are is feeling so bad .. i had my xray that showed straightining of neck and did a lot of physical therapy sessions. However i don't fell better amd the noise in my head is very annoying and driving me crazy .. i can't find a good chiropractor in my county to help .. can you help me plz? I can share my xray with you if possible
Will these also help with cervicogenic dizziness? I strongly I believe how I have both! My neck is also crunching and cracking 1000000 times a day! And I suffer with dizziness. Thanks heaps :)
Hello! My neck will often crack/grind like you have showed. Will it ever go away or recover? And are there any health problems or consequences from the neck cracking like this?
Hey Doc ...So I've had cervicogenic dizziness for 2 yrs and finally found a chiropractor and explained the space in between my c1 and c2 doesn't change when I look up or down almost like there stuck ..C3 down do open up or close when I move my neck he does cold laser therapy and weird neck adjustment I'm on day 3 and feel much better.....but I'll watch your other cervicogenic dizziness video for the exercises.....
Great...sounds like you have found a great chiropractor...upper cervical adjustments will be the key to your recovery in addition to doing some home exercises...best wishes.
After reading this I want to make an appointment with soon. Question for you Dr. Is it OK to roll on a foam roller across your middle back if it relieves tension?
Hello! I am going to adopt these exercises as my new routine! I started with these noises about 1 year ago! I visited different chiropractors, osteopaths, and also tried ozone therapy (5 sessions) but the noise is the same! I work in front of the computer every day, and I play tennis like 5 times a week. And also pilates twice a week. I dont know the cause of this, anybody can tell me why. My resonance is Ok for my age (rectified cervical since I remember). This noise is so annoying!! Thanks for the video, I wish this worked! Let you know in a couple of weeks. Regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
That's what I hear at the beginning when walking or stepping up wards. Sometimes tiny clicks when walking. I can't tell if it's in the ear or neck, that's the problem for me.
Hello, Dr. JON, when I feel the grinding in my neck, it hurts, and after some minutes I become so pale and unable to move due to the intensity of pain. I am debilitating to the point I am almost pass out but still can hear the people around me. When I try to open my eyes, it is pitch black with people becomes shadow. For the send attempt, it slowly comes back to normal. It totally scares me Doc Jon!
Hopefully you got your neck checked out everything you're saying on your comments I've been through. Finally I found someone who has similar stuff as I do. They found four pinched nerves in my neck and the top area c3 and 4 was the worst of moderate nerve pinching. And yes all that stuff you're saying I was going through bad last year this year not so bad but it's still kind of bad. I'm hoping by next year things get better. I hope you get better I hope you get the right diagnosis too. Until my wife and I tell my friends I never understood how important my neck is until all this started happening.
sir please suggest me i have disc osteophytes in c4 c5 and c5 c6 im my MRI report i have severe dizziness and loss of balance since 14months please suggest me exercises
Without seeing you as a patient, it is hard for me to recommend anything specific for you - please ask your doctor who sent you for the MRI. Best wishes.
I have neck and head tension ALOT! It drives me crazy. I also have disc degenerative disease and herniated discs. I'm wondering if I'd be a candidate for chiropractic therapy.
0:40 I thought this was normal. My neck hasn't popped. It just make these sounds and feels creepy to me. I also have osteoarthritis, deterioration and slipped disk. My neck doesn't feel so great.
Hello I developed grinding, clicking and popping basically overnight approximately 8 month ago? Can this just actually happen? I was quite shocked at the noises and the discomfort. Since then I have had constant pain in the right side of my neck . I have had historic pain in this area but nothing compared to what I have now! I have since been diagnosed with degenerative Arthritis in my neck and have been prescribed pain relief medication which helps a bit with the pain. I am 63 years old and have been quite depressed at the thought of being in such constant pain for the remainder of my life. This has really affected my quality of life. I do get pain when I do the side to side neck excercise you recommend in this video, should I stop doing this one??Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks you very much and keep up the good work 👍🙏🙏
@@drjonsaunders Thanks for the reply. I have recently given up having sessions with a chiropractor as he was not helping to be honest. If you say that consistency is key then do you think I should increase the amount of neck excercises that do on a daily basis despite feeling pain when I do them in the hope that over time the pain will ease ? Thanks again
I have a strage clicking sound at neck on right side when i run or i go up and down stairs. Do you think that these exercise are good fot this ptoblem? I dont have any sport of pain.
I had spinal fusion surgery 5 years ago, I’ve got 10 screws in my neck and i keep hearing a grinding(rubbing)noise whenever I look left and sometimes I feel popping
I recently fell on my back and hit my head too. Since then I had a feeling of heaviness and headaches. after two days I started to feel the pain in my neck, more stiffness and pain, then came to my mind Maybe it is something with my neck. After that, I started to hear cracking in my upper neck when I put my head down and start rotating it. Do you think the headaches have something to do with us and to you think I should go see the doctor?
I am 13 and have a stiff neck, and it pops and clicks a lot. Sometimes, the joints behind my head hurt when I'm looking down, but I dont think its because of the popping because the popping. And also hiw do these excercises help? Does it help mobility or does it make joints healthier?
i heard little grindin and clickin sound when i turn my neck to the left this all started after a whiplash car accident i had x rays and all good, nearly 2 years since the accident

Hi Dr. Jon, I've started these exercises, going slowly as per your video. You mentioned over a period of weeks to notice improvements. How long before improvements are noticeable? 3 weeks? 6 weeks? And is it realistic that the grinding / popping can be eliminated? Thx for your advice.
Usually a minimum of 6 weeks...if you have degenerative disc disease and/or a neck aligment issue you will likely need some professional help from a chiro who will be able to help reduce the sounds as much as possible...best of luck.
Thank you so much. It helped a lot
Glad it helped!
Sometimes just breathing makes my neck or thoracic spine crack and pop. I have been using a foam roller and that has been causing more noises!
Sounds like you need to do some stabilization exercises...ask your doctor for some help...all the best!
Me too did it happen after lifting something heavy?
@@frozenbanana4842 I think it might be I’ve been weightlifting and I think it’s because that
I think its possibly my mattress causin my neck stiffness kinda forgot about this video but will start practicin more regulalry cnt get rid of it thx
Best wishes!

Will these also help with cervicogenic dizziness? I strongly I believe how I have both! My neck is also crunching and cracking 1000000 times a day! And I suffer with dizziness. Thanks heaps :)
They can, and I hope they do for you! :)
@@drjonsaundershow does it help with dizziness ?
I got whiplash in a car crash 2 years ago now an my neck has never been the same since 😢 Thanks for this
Whiplash is not easy to recover from - best wishes.
Hello! My neck will often crack/grind like you have showed. Will it ever go away or recover? And are there any health problems or consequences from the neck cracking like this?
It's more of a consequence of what is going on in your neck - often associated with wear and tear arthritis - please see your doctor.
Thank you for the advice
No problem!
6:37 Should I avoid these stretches if I have forward head posture and can't put my head above my shoulders properly?
Unfortunately without examining you I cannot say...please ask your doctor.
Hey Doc ...So I've had cervicogenic dizziness for 2 yrs and finally found a chiropractor and explained the space in between my c1 and c2 doesn't change when I look up or down almost like there stuck ..C3 down do open up or close when I move my neck he does cold laser therapy and weird neck adjustment I'm on day 3 and feel much better.....but I'll watch your other cervicogenic dizziness video for the exercises.....
Great...sounds like you have found a great chiropractor...upper cervical adjustments will be the key to your recovery in addition to doing some home exercises...best wishes.
@@drjonsaunders Thanks
After reading this I want to make an appointment with soon. Question for you Dr. Is it OK to roll on a foam roller across your middle back if it relieves tension?
Thank you this is very informative.
My pleasure!
Doc, I noticed it today I'm only 17 and I'm super freaked out 😭
No need to worry...see your doctor if you are concerned...all the best!
Thanks Doc,your amazing ,👋👍👌👏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome!
Hello! I am going to adopt these exercises as my new routine!
I started with these noises about 1 year ago! I visited different chiropractors, osteopaths, and also tried ozone therapy (5 sessions) but the noise is the same!
I work in front of the computer every day, and I play tennis like 5 times a week. And also pilates twice a week. I dont know the cause of this, anybody can tell me why. My resonance is Ok for my age (rectified cervical since I remember). This noise is so annoying!!
Thanks for the video, I wish this worked!
Let you know in a couple of weeks.
Regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Thanks for watching...best wishes!
Any exercise for the globus sensation problem.
Will add it to my future video list.
Thanks, but does these exercises help jaw popping and tmj muscle spasms?
They may, but you may want to check out my TMJ video.
Thank you, you have been sent here by god to help us.🎉
You are so welcome! 🙏
This is best doctor
Thank you! :)
Hello sir..what about crunching sounds from back neck(cervical) with vertigo...what exercise
I have a few good videos on neck dizziness...please explore my channel. :)
That's what I hear at the beginning when walking or stepping up wards. Sometimes tiny clicks when walking. I can't tell if it's in the ear or neck, that's the problem for me.
Thanks for watching.
Hello, Dr. JON, when I feel the grinding in my neck, it hurts, and after some minutes I become so pale and unable to move due to the intensity of pain. I am debilitating to the point I am almost pass out but still can hear the people around me. When I try to open my eyes, it is pitch black with people becomes shadow. For the send attempt, it slowly comes back to normal. It totally scares me Doc Jon!
Sorry to hear this...please see your doctor for an appropriate diagnosis.
Hopefully you got your neck checked out everything you're saying on your comments I've been through. Finally I found someone who has similar stuff as I do. They found four pinched nerves in my neck and the top area c3 and 4 was the worst of moderate nerve pinching. And yes all that stuff you're saying I was going through bad last year this year not so bad but it's still kind of bad. I'm hoping by next year things get better. I hope you get better I hope you get the right diagnosis too. Until my wife and I tell my friends I never understood how important my neck is until all this started happening.
Thank you so much.
It was helpful.
May Allah bless you
Glad it helped!
I had a posterior c 3 to c6 fixation and awful grinding when moving my neck at all very stiff and have limited movement
I hope this video helps you 🙏
sir please suggest me
i have disc osteophytes in c4 c5 and c5 c6 im my MRI report
i have severe dizziness and loss of balance since 14months
please suggest me exercises
Without seeing you as a patient, it is hard for me to recommend anything specific for you - please ask your doctor who sent you for the MRI. Best wishes.
I hear like air sound also every time i forward my neck.Subcribe already.
Thank you, I hope my videos help you!
Is there a way to tell if it’s because of a inflamed tendon/ligament or if it’s air in joint capsule?
It is difficult to do without an MRI...or a very skilled clinician may be able to tell by palpation. Hope this helps...all the best!
I have this too...❤...very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
@@drjonsaunders why I always have like needle poking in my neck and shoulder?
I have neck and head tension ALOT! It drives me crazy. I also have disc degenerative disease and herniated discs. I'm wondering if I'd be a candidate for chiropractic therapy.
The only way to know would to be to book a consult/exam with your local chiropractor - best wishes.
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Thank you doctor
My pleasure!
Does applying heat to the neck help relieve tightened muscles Dr?
Sure does!
Thank you doc it works
You're welcome!
If I do have dizziness associated with these movements and tingling in my hands which professional do I need to contact? A chiropractor or an MD?
I'd say both...all the best!
Cervical misalignment retrolisthesis grade 1
Plz Dr. Suggest me
For that you will need to get some professional help...I wish you all the best.
0:40 I thought this was normal. My neck hasn't popped. It just make these sounds and feels creepy to me. I also have osteoarthritis, deterioration and slipped disk. My neck doesn't feel so great.
I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you find my videos helpful.
Hello
I developed grinding, clicking and popping basically overnight approximately 8 month ago? Can this just actually happen? I was quite shocked at the noises and the discomfort. Since then I have had constant pain in the right side of my neck . I have had historic pain in this area but nothing compared to what I have now! I have since been diagnosed with degenerative Arthritis in my neck and have been prescribed pain relief medication which helps a bit with the pain. I am 63 years old and have been quite depressed at the thought of being in such constant pain for the remainder of my life. This has really affected my quality of life. I do get pain when I do the side to side neck excercise you recommend in this video, should I stop doing this one??Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks you very much and keep up the good work 👍🙏🙏
Thanks for watching - I'd look for a good chiropractor to help you with this - best wishes.
@@drjonsaunders Thanks for the reply. I have recently given up having sessions with a chiropractor as he was not helping to be honest. If you say that consistency is key then do you think I should increase the amount of neck excercises that do on a daily basis despite feeling pain when I do them in the hope that over time the pain will ease ? Thanks again
Do these help pinched nerves in the neck? Thanks
It can, as can this videos: ua-cam.com/video/0krYvmCjVv4/v-deo.html
Dr. Jon Can I exercise my shoulder before doing this?
Sure can!
I get that sometimes but I always have this noise like grinding if I gently press on my neck and move it it's a non stop grinding noise
Ask your health care provider to do a comprehensive neck exam.
My neck sounds are elicited when i do the third stretch when i turn my head to the left side
I hope you find my video helpful.
I have a strage clicking sound at neck on right side when i run or i go up and down stairs. Do you think that these exercise are good fot this ptoblem? I dont have any sport of pain.
Yes, it should help - all the best!
What about slight neck pain after popping accompanied by discomfort beneath the nose ?
For that, I'd suggest you see your health care provider for an appropriate diagnosis.
I had spinal fusion surgery 5 years ago, I’ve got 10 screws in my neck and i keep hearing a grinding(rubbing)noise whenever I look left and sometimes I feel popping
And sometimes my neck feels loose when I turn my neck sideways
That is something you should speak to your surgeon about...all the best!
I recently fell on my back and hit my head too. Since then I had a feeling of heaviness and headaches. after two days I started to feel the pain in my neck, more stiffness and pain, then came to my mind Maybe it is something with my neck. After that, I started to hear cracking in my upper neck when I put my head down and start rotating it. Do you think the headaches have something to do with us and to you think I should go see the doctor?
Yes always best to see your doctor when something like that happens...best wishes!
I am 13 and have a stiff neck, and it pops and clicks a lot. Sometimes, the joints behind my head hurt when I'm looking down, but I dont think its because of the popping because the popping. And also hiw do these excercises help? Does it help mobility or does it make joints healthier?
I also hear grinding when I like put my head back, it happens rarely should I avoid it though?
By the way I used to pop my neck a lot and I wonder if that's what's causing it
Also when I do push-ups my head like clicks forward please answer. I will do these exercises thank you so much.
Also I used to be able to pop my jaw on command from one side so idk if that is what's causing everything
They helps with mobility and strength. Best wishes.
Love you Doc ❤️
❤️
Doctor I have disk bulge problem and rotation neck i hear cracking sound। Can i do this exercise?
You should be OK if you take it slow, but I suggest you ask your health care provider to be sure. Best wishes.

Hey how are you doing now? Has your neck improved?
