Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain

What does neck pain do? It keeps you from moving your neck the way you want. Pain is crazy like that! It prevents us from doing things that could damage us. Ok, that’s not all bad! But neck pain can disturb more than just motion. It can alter daily living. Tonawanda chiropractic at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation can help lessen neck pain and reestablish its normal motion.

NECK PAIN LIMITS MOTION

Not merely does neck pain limit cervical spine motion, it also necessitates compensatory motions to do what needs to be done. If the neck hurts when twisting to the right, you’ll not do that. That’s a compensatory motion. Normal flexion/extension, lateral, and rotational motions have been noted in normal patients. (1) And if you think your capabiloity to reposition your neck affects your life, think about baseball pitchers! College baseball pitchers with limited neck motion during preseason had higher risk of game time loss as well as shoulder and elbow disability during the season. (2) That’s really life-changing for them and their life dreams! Know that your Tonawanda chiropractor can tell from a thorough clinical examination just what pain is doing to your normal range of motion and how to help you (whether you are a baseball player or not!) get it back.

NECK ISSUES INFLUENCE SLEEP APNEA

Another interesting cervical spine finding is that preceding cervical spondylosis – degenerative changes in the cervical spine that often come with aging, bringing about vertebral bone degeneration, disc degeneration, bone spur formation and the like - and obstructive sleep apnea are associated. Such sleep apnea is associated with cervical spine changes that constrict the airway space such as happen with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spinal issue your Tonawanda chiropractor understands well.
