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 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!
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
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.
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
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!
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.
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!
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 🙏
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
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
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!
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.
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 🙏🏻
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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?
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?
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
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.
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 :)
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!
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.
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 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.
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?
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.
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.
Hey dr so whenever I turn my neck a certain way, my neck cracks and then the inside of my head makes this cracking sound. Do you know how this could happen and how do i fix it
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 have chronic neck pain and i have been to all the drs for ear pain and came to know my neck stiffness is causing tinnitus dizziness and bruxism causing tmj flares poor posture. physical therapy dint help . Chiropractor helped but i have been going for like long time once a month but process is so slow . Am depressed. Where do practice? How can we reach you
Hello Doctor! Should I be concerned if the clicking sound in my neck appears every time i turn my head left? It started about 2 weeks ago and it’s getting really annoying
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.
hi jon i have some neck isabilty as well as some hyermootily in my neck. Got the x-ray done and feel some pain in my upper spine and shoulders. i am hear a clicking sound when i face and do only ONE movement looking right and up. otherwise i cant hear it. Do you think these exercises would fix this??
I had C3-4 ACDF fusion surgery this January, been 4 months out. I also have dizziness, and my neck makes a lot of sounds now compared to before surgery; can I do these exercises? My neck also can not tilt to the left, feels locked... What else can I do to help reduce the chances of having future surgery for the joint above and below? Or any neck movements to avoid?

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.

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 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!

Mine seem to come from tendons and ligaments. If I keep stretching and moving, can I correct it eventually?
It should improve, if not please see 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?
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
Thank you,
You are welcome!
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.
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.
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.
Hey dr so whenever I turn my neck a certain way, my neck cracks and then the inside of my head makes this cracking sound. Do you know how this could happen and how do i fix it
Check out my video on cervical instability.
Keep the eye
Keep the eye?
Thank you this is very informative.
My pleasure!
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.
Your videos are so good. Simple and easy to understand. I need to see you asap.
Thank you Angelo...see you soon? :)
@Angelo Tramonti - are there not any chiropracters in the area where you live??
Does applying heat to the neck help relieve tightened muscles Dr?
Sure does!
Thank you doctor
My pleasure!
I have lordosis, can I do these exercises? Thank you

Dr. Jon Can I exercise my shoulder before doing this?
Sure can!
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!
Hello Dr, Jon. I have experienced this from cracking my neck. can u also get stiffness in the face and arms?
Best to ask your doctor. All the best!

@@drjonsaunders why I always have like needle poking in my neck and shoulder?

I hope this video helps you 🙏
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!

Hello Doctor! Should I be concerned if the clicking sound in my neck appears every time i turn my head left? It started about 2 weeks ago and it’s getting really annoying
Usually if there is no pain, it is fine. But always ask your doctor. Best wishes.
Thank you!!
How are you doing now? Has your neck improved?
@@beaver5728hey how are you doing now?
When I do the side to side neck stretches, at first my neck pops really loud on each side. Is this bad?
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!

I had C3-4 ACDF fusion surgery this January, been 4 months out. I also have dizziness, and my neck makes a lot of sounds now compared to before surgery; can I do these exercises? My neck also can not tilt to the left, feels locked... What else can I do to help reduce the chances of having future surgery for the joint above and below? Or any neck movements to avoid?
Thank you for your question...but I cannot give you an answer without knowing your unique situation...please speak with your doctor....best wishes.
@@drjonsaunders ok, thanks!
