What Causes Cracking Noise In Neck And Mild Headache?
Good Day Doctor! I have been experiencing neck popping and slight grinding of my neck on turning my head past 2 to 3 weeks. Of late, this has been associated with slight headaches which comes and goes. This is concerning me. Please advise on what should be my next steps and if this is only a temporary condition due to any muscle strain?
