Hi!
If there is clicking noise and neck stiffness then there is a possibility of arthritis of the joints of the spine. It can also be a degenerative disc disease or ligament injury. Treatment is usually conservative and involves physiotherapy, pain killers, traction and spinal manipulation, chiropractic treatments, acupressure, dry needling, etc.  Please discuss with your doctor. Take care!

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
