How do I stop my neck from cracking every time I turn my head?

Please, I'm hoping someone can help. I went to the chiropractor a couple weeks ago, he adjusted my back and neck. Within a week of going I noticed my neck cracks EVERY SINGLE TIME I look to the left or tilt my head right. Yesterday I went back to him to see if he could fix the problem. He did a neck message and adjusted me again…problem is still there. I went to an atlas adjuster today, who stretched out my neck and adjusted the C1 atlas…cracking is still there. I just want this fixed so bad, but it seems nothing will help. From what I have found out, we believe the problem to be ligament getting stuck on bone (possibly a bone spur). I can’t find any information out there that has any solution to this. It seems like I may have to learn to live with this the rest of my life. I'm mean, how do you stop ligament from slipping over bone?  I am very depressed over it, and so it’s affecting my life. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Please, I don't want to hear anything negative,  I only want to know if you found something that helped you,  or if you think there is something that could help me. Just as a side note, I am not in any pain. Many thanks.
