Chiropractic Solutions Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain
What is the result of neck pain? It keeps you from repositioning your neck as you want. Pain is crazy that way! It prevents 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. San Jose chiropractic at Chiropractic Solutions can help relieve neck pain and reestablish 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 hurts when twisting to the right, 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 ability to reposition your neck influences your life, think about 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 throughout the season. (2) That’s very life-changing for them and their life dreams! Know that your San Jose chiropractor can tell from a thorough clinical examination just what pain is doing to 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 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 linked to cervical spine changes that constrict the airway space such as happen with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your San Jose chiropractor understands well.
