Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain

What does neck pain do? It prevents you from moving your neck as you want. Pain is crazy like that! It prevents us from doing things that could damage us. Ok, that is not all bad! But neck pain can disturb more than just motion. It can alter daily living. Manchester chiropractic at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries can help lessen neck pain and reestablish its normal motion.

NECK PAIN LIMITS MOTION

Not merely does neck pain restrict cervical spine motion, it also requires compensatory motions to do what must be done. If the neck aches when twisting to the right, you will not do that. That is a compensatory motion. Normal flexion/extension, lateral, and rotational motions have been noted in normal patients. (1) And if you think your ability to move your neck alters your life, think about baseball pitchers! College baseball pitchers with limited neck motion during preseason had increased risk of game time loss and shoulder and elbow disability throughout the season. (2) That’s really life-changing for them and their life dreams! Know that your Manchester chiropractor can know 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 prior 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 associated. Such sleep apnea is associated with cervical spine changes that constrict the airway space that come with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spinal issue your Manchester chiropractor know well.
