Manahawkin Chiropractic Center Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain
What is the result of neck pain? It keeps you from moving 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 disturb more than just motion. It can alter daily living. Manahawkin chiropractic at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center can help reduce 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 must be done. If the neck aches 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 ability to move your neck influences your life, think about baseball pitchers! College baseball pitchers with limited neck motion during preseason had higher risk of game time loss as well as shoulder and elbow disability during the season. (2) That’s really life-changing for them and their life dreams! Know that your Manahawkin chiropractor can tell from a thorough clinical examination just how pain is affecting your normal range of motion and how to help you (whether you’re a baseball player or not!) get it back.
NECK ISSUES INFLUENCE SLEEP APNEA
Another interesting cervical spine discovery is that preceding cervical spondylosis – degenerative changes in the cervical spine that often happen 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 connected to cervical spine changes that tighten the airway space such as occur with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your Manahawkin chiropractor know well.
