Apple Country Chiropractic Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain
What does neck pain do? It prevents you from moving your neck the way you want. Pain is effective that way! It keeps 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 disrupt daily living. Williamson chiropractic at Apple Country Chiropractic can help reduce neck pain and reestablish its normal motion.
NECK PAIN LIMITS MOTION
Not merely does neck pain restrict cervical spine motion, it also requires compensatory motions to do what needs to be done. If the neck smarts when turning to the right, you will not do that. That is a compensatory motion. Normal flexion/extension, lateral, and rotational motions have been documented in normal patients. (1) And if you think your capabiloity to reposition your neck influences your life, consider 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 throughout the season. (2) That is really life-changing for them and their life dreams! Know that your Williamson chiropractor can tell from a thorough clinical examination just what pain is doing to your normal range of motion and how to help you (your being a baseball player or not!) get it back.
NECK ISSUES INFLUENCE SLEEP APNEA
Another curious cervical spine discovery is that prior cervical spondylosis – degenerative changes in the cervical spine that often come with aging, resulting in vertebral bone degeneration, disc degeneration, bone spur formation and the like - and obstructive sleep apnea are related. Such sleep apnea is associated with cervical spine changes that constrict the airway space that occur with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your Williamson chiropractor understands well.
