Neck Popping Sounds
I am not having a lot of neck pain, but a lot of neck popping sounds. Just walking or barely moving my head can cause this popping. After a while it can start making me feel sick to my stomach. Would this be lax ligaments in my neck to cause this popping sound? Some days it is worse than others. How would I get the proper diagnosis to know what it is? X-rays do show some degeneration in my neck and not the correct curve it should be. Would Prolotherapy be the answer I am looking for?

A. Any joint that pops or snaps should be assumed to have ligament laxity or weakness. Most doctors would treat it when it is symptomatic such as causing weakness, pain or associated symptoms. There is a condition called Barre-Lieou Syndrome which is probably what you have with having an upset stomach. You should be evaluated though to make sure there is not any stomach pathology.

Popping in the spine in the neck, upper back or lower back is not a good thing. It is a sign of ligament weakness which causes accelerated disc degeneration. The treatment of choice in our experience for ligament weakness or injury is Prolotherapy. Prolotherapy stimulates the area to repair. For you treatment would be directed at the segments that are popping.

There is no known cure for arthritis. Prolotherapy and nutritional supplements can help alleviate, reverse, or end arthritic pain by treating an underlying cause that contributes to degenerative disease, ligament laxity. Strengthening ligaments and other connective tissue can help prevent bone on bone arthritis from developing.
