What Is The Cause Of Child Cracking His Neck Very Often?
My 8 year old son has been cracking his neck for the last 6 months. He says it bothers him , not comfortable , and sometimes feels like it stings . His pediatrician said it is normal as he is growing and cracking his neck is not a problem, but even healthy. The problem is that everytime I see him doing more oftern. What can be causing it?
