Layden Chiropractic 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 bother more than just motion. It can disrupt daily living. Plainville chiropractic at Layden Chiropractic 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 aches when twisting to the left, you won’t do that. That is a compensatory motion. Normal flexion/extension, lateral, and rotational motions have been noted in normal patients. (1) And if you think your ability to reposition your neck affects your life, consider baseball pitchers! College baseball pitchers with limited neck motion during preseason were found to be at increased risk of game time loss as well as shoulder and elbow disability during the season. (2) That’s very life-changing for them and their life dreams! Know that your Plainville chiropractor can know from a thorough clinical examination just how pain is affecting 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 previous cervical spondylosis – degenerative changes in the cervical spine that often appear 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 such as occur with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your Plainville chiropractor understands well.
