What is the result of neck pain? It keeps
you from repositioning your neck as you want. Pain is effective
that way! It keeps 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 alter daily living.
New Roads chiropractic at New Roads Chiropractic Center can help lessen
neck pain and restore its normal motion.
NECK PAIN LIMITS MOTION
Not merely does neck pain limit
cervical spine motion, it also necessitates compensatory motions
to do what must be done. If the neck smarts
when twisting to the left, you’ll
not do that. That is 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 alters 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 is really life-altering
for them and their life dreams! Know that your New Roads 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 appear with aging, resulting in vertebral bone degeneration, disc degeneration, bone
spur formation and the like - and obstructive sleep apnea are associated.
Such sleep apnea is associated with cervical spine
changes that tighten the airway space such as occur
with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spinal
issue your New Roads chiropractor understands
well.
