A crunching sensation in the neck could merely be a subluxation in the area. Which is a misalignment of the bones. An adjustment by a skilled chiropractor should help significantly.

The crunching sensation could come from tendons being stretched over your vertebrate, most likely as a result of poor posture or stress. Myofascial tension could also be a cause. Massage and slow long stretching could alleviate this.
