it supposed to lead to increased risk of stroke, just google it, youll find many articles. I was addicted to it when i was back in school, plus it feels really good, but have tried to stop, or atleast lessen the bad habit.

its not a big risk according to this article, but i just stopped just in case. Plus my neck probably cracks enough during the course of my hockey seasons.

That's talking about chiropractors manipulating your spine. I think the TC is talking about just tilting your head to one side until it cracks a few times. That seems to me like a less damagine undertaking.
Depends on who is doing the cracking. if teh_destroyer is doing the cracking, yes it is bad for you. If a french military leader is cracking it, you have nothing to worry about.
It can be bad, depending how you do it. If you have it where you're turning your head to the side, it can pop vessels in the neck region, which can cause internal bleeding.

like i said, google it, youll find quite a few reports, going both ways on the matter. This one is more related to other things that could happen aside from stroke.

You can paralyze yourself for life. If you want to relieve neck tension rub the back of your neck with your hand, don't crack it, it makes me cringe when people do that.

Maybe I should change my method, I usually tilt to the side and twist my head with my fingers a little I feel it all the way to my collar bone.

Yeah, that's a way you can cause the vessels to pop. They are aligned in the neck region, I just cannot think where. My Biology II teacher went over this once. He told us how a college student had cracked his neck during a test and fifteen minutes later, he was dead.

Wow strokes run in my family maybe I should quit.
thats unfortunate. :(
Yeah, that is why I try to stay in shape. People should start looking into their family medical histories.
I've been doing it for five years and had no adverse effects. When I do it, it is generally to relieve tension in my neck and although it sounds like it should hurt and cause damage, it only makes it feel better and looser.
