Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain
What is the result of neck pain? It prevents you from moving your neck the way you want. Pain is effective that way! 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. Groton chiropractic at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office can help reduce 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 aches when twisting to the left, you won’t do that. That’s 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, consider baseball pitchers! College baseball pitchers with limited neck motion during preseason had higher risk of game time loss as well as shoulder and elbow disability during the season. (2) That is very life-altering for them and their life dreams! Know that your Groton chiropractor can know from a thorough clinical examination just how pain is affecting 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 come 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 connected to cervical spine changes that tighten the airway space that happen with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your Groton chiropractor understands well.
