Minster Chiropractic Center Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain
What is the result of neck pain? It prevents you from repositioning your neck the way you want. Pain is crazy like that! It keeps 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 alter daily living. Minster chiropractic at Minster Chiropractic Center can help relieve neck pain and restore its normal motion.
NECK PAIN LIMITS MOTION
Not merely does neck pain limit cervical spine motion, it also requires compensatory motions to do what needs to be done. If the neck aches when turning to the left, you will not do that. That’s 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 were found to be at increased risk of game time loss as well as shoulder and elbow disability throughout the season. (2) That’s very life-changing for them and their life dreams! Know that your Minster chiropractor can tell 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 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 connected to cervical spine changes that constrict the airway space that occur with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your Minster chiropractor understands well.
