What does neck pain do? It prevents
you from moving your neck the way you want. Pain is crazy
like that! It keeps us from doing things that could
hurt. Ok, that’s not all bad! But neck pain can bother
more than just motion. It can disrupt daily living.
Murfreesboro chiropractic at Most Chiropractic Clinic can help lessen
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 smarts
when turning to the right, 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 capabiloity to move
your neck affects 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-altering
for them and their life dreams! Know that your Murfreesboro 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 discovery
is that previous cervical spondylosis – degenerative
changes in the cervical spine that often appear with aging, bringing
about 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 constrict the airway space that happen
with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your Murfreesboro chiropractor know
well.
