Satterwhite Chiropractic Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain
What does neck pain do? It prevents you from repositioning your neck the way you want. Pain is effective that way! It keeps us from doing things that could hurt. Ok, that’s not all bad! But neck pain can disturb more than just motion. It can disrupt daily living. Oxford chiropractic at Satterwhite Chiropractic can help ease neck pain and restore its normal motion.
NECK PAIN LIMITS MOTION
Not only does neck pain limit cervical spine motion, it also necessitates compensatory motions to do what needs to be done. If the neck smarts when twisting to the left, 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 affects 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 is very life-altering for them and their life dreams! Know that your Oxford chiropractor can tell from a thorough clinical examination just what pain is doing to 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 finding 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 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 Oxford chiropractor understands well.
