Best Answer

It should go away on its own over time, how much time will depend on how much damage you did. You have likely either irritated a facet joint, sprained a ligament or strained a muscle. It is also possible that you have caused a spasm in some of your neck musculature. Either way, time will resolve the problem. If it is not going away fast enough for your liking, go see a chiropractor, who will be able to help you out.

Lastly, it is not recommended that you "pop" your own neck, as too much amplitude, or an improper motion can cause damage to the joints, muscles and ligaments in your neck. Because the neck has so much more mobility and less stability than the rest of your spine (to allow for good head movement) it is easier to do damage here. I would recommend seeing a chiropractor if you feel that you could benefit from manual therapy of you neck (eg: if you have a stiff neck, neck pain, headache, dizziness, etc.).
