Crick is not a slang term, it is a word in very long established and very widespread written as well as spoken usage which is also almost universally used in medicine because it is the commonly known and used term by patients to describe pain in the upper cervical vertebrae or in the musculature of the neck. The etymology of the word goes back to Middle English and the variation referring to a creek actually originates in Scandinavian language also going back several centuries.
There are a bunch of good etymology resources online where one can check one’s own personal ‘beliefs’ about words against the actual facts of their heritage and usage.
