Hello
Clicking is normally seen in neck in many persons with jerky movement.
It is generally not a serious issue and doesn't necessarily linked with osteopenia.
It is good that it is not painful.
Osteopenia may be an independent condition.
Osteopenia is normally seen with aging(more in females).
You may need calcium and vitamin D supplementation after evaluation.
You can take calcium rich food and expose yourself to sunlight for brief period.
Get well soon.
Take Care
