Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries 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 crazy like that! It prevents us from doing things that could hurt. Ok, that is not all bad! But neck pain can bother more than just motion. It can disrupt daily living. Manchester chiropractic at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries can help lessen neck pain and reestablish its normal motion.
NECK PAIN LIMITS MOTION
Not only does neck pain restrict cervical spine motion, it also necessitates compensatory motions to do what must be done. If the neck hurts when twisting to the left, you will not do that. That’s a compensatory motion. Normal flexion/extension, lateral, and rotational motions have been recorded in normal patients. (1) And if you think your capabiloity to move your neck alters your life, consider baseball pitchers! College baseball pitchers with limited neck motion during preseason were found to be at higher risk of game time loss and shoulder and elbow disability during the season. (2) That’s very life-changing for them and their life dreams! Know that your Manchester chiropractor can tell from a thorough clinical examination just how pain is affecting 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 previous 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 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 Manchester chiropractor know well.
