Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain
What is the result of neck pain? It prevents you from repositioning your neck as you want. Pain is effective like that! 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 alter daily living. Carrolltown chiropractic at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation 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 necessitates compensatory motions to do what needs to be done. If the neck hurts when turning to the left, you will 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 ability to move your neck alters your life, consider baseball pitchers! College baseball pitchers with limited neck motion during preseason were found to be at increased risk of game time loss and shoulder and elbow disability during the season. (2) That is really life-changing for them and their life dreams! Know that your Carrolltown 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’re a baseball player or not!) get it back.
NECK ISSUES INFLUENCE SLEEP APNEA
Another curious cervical spine discovery is that prior 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 associated with cervical spine changes that constrict the airway space that occur with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your Carrolltown chiropractor know well.
