What is the result of neck pain? It keeps
you from repositioning your neck as you want. Pain is crazy
that way! 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.
Richmond chiropractic at Johnson Chiropractic can help relieve
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 hurts
when turning to the left, you won’t 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 capabiloity to reposition
your neck influences 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 during
the season. (2) That is very life-altering
for them and their life dreams! Know that your Richmond 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 tighten the airway space such as come
with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your Richmond chiropractor know
well.
