Apple Country Chiropractic 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 prevents us from doing things that could hurt. Ok, that is not all bad! But neck pain can disturb more than just motion. It can disrupt daily living. Williamson chiropractic at Apple Country Chiropractic can help relieve 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 needs to be done. If the neck aches when twisting to the right, you’ll not 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 move your neck alters your life, consider baseball pitchers! College baseball pitchers with limited neck motion during preseason had higher risk of game time loss and shoulder and elbow disability throughout the season. (2) That is very life-changing for them and their life dreams! Know that your Williamson chiropractor can tell from a thorough clinical examination just what pain is doing to 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, 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 that happen with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spinal issue your Williamson chiropractor understands well.
