As a former EMT and someone who sees a Chiropractor regularly for chronic neck and back pain... I would say that you have a subluxation. Simply put, you torked your neck and a vertibrae isn't aligned.... OR... you HAD a subluxation and when your next cracked, it went back into place and the muscles are in spasm.

Either way... if it last for more than a day or so (while taking self-prescribed Tylenol or Advil) then you should probably call a doctor or see a Chiropractor.
