Why is it that every time i have a headache the back of my neck/head makes these crackling noises?
Yeah I usually get a headache every two weeks or so and when i do i hear/feel this crackling noise in the back of my head where there's a slope connection to my neck whenever i turn my head
It's also accompanied by slight pain in the area

1. You headaches are most likely caused by misalignment in vertebrae in your neck, and this may be the cracking noise you hear. When some vertebrae are out of alignment, they can put pressure on nerves that cause headaches. You should see a reputable chiropractor who can fully asses your situation. Feel better! (:2. Joint "cracking" or popping happens when negative pressure pulls nitrogen gas temporarily into the joint. It is not harmful. If there is any pain, there could be an underlying problem such as loose cartilage, injured ligaments, arthritis, bursitis, or tendinitis, which could be contributing to the headache.
