Hearing popping, cracking, or grinding noises in your neck or head? In this short video, Dr. Chris Centeno explains how these sounds may be linked to craniocervical instability (CCI).
Dr. Centeno breaks down how instability at the C1–C2 and C0–C1 joints, along with ligament laxity, can lead to abnormal motion in the upper cervical spine. These mechanical issues may produce head and neck noises, especially when tinnitus and inner ear conditions have already been ruled out.
This episode helps clarify when head noises may be a structural neck issue rather than an ear problem, offering insight into the importance of proper diagnosis and targeted treatment.
