Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain
What is the result of neck pain? It keeps you from moving your neck the way you want. Pain is crazy that way! It prevents us from doing things that could hurt. 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 reduce neck pain and restore its normal motion.
NECK PAIN LIMITS MOTION
Not only does neck pain limit cervical spine motion, it also necessitates compensatory motions to do what must be done. If the neck hurts when turning to the left, you will not do that. That is a compensatory motion. Normal flexion/extension, lateral, and rotational motions have been recorded in normal patients. (1) And if you think your capabiloity to reposition your neck alters 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 very life-altering 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’re a baseball player or not!) get it back.
NECK ISSUES INFLUENCE SLEEP APNEA
Another curious cervical spine discovery is that previous cervical spondylosis – degenerative changes in the cervical spine that often happen with aging, resulting in 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 know well.
