Aurora Chiropractic Center Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain
What does neck pain do? It keeps you from moving your neck as you want. Pain is effective like that! It keeps 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. Juneau chiropractic at Aurora Chiropractic Center can help lessen neck pain and restore its normal motion.
NECK PAIN LIMITS MOTION
Not only does neck pain restrict cervical spine motion, it also requires compensatory motions to do what must be done. If the neck smarts when turning to the left, you won’t 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 move your neck influences your life, consider baseball pitchers! College baseball pitchers with limited neck motion during preseason had 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 Juneau 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 interesting cervical spine finding 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 related. Such sleep apnea is associated with cervical spine changes that constrict the airway space that come with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your Juneau chiropractor know well.
