Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain
What does neck pain do? It keeps you from repositioning your neck as you want. Pain is crazy like that! It keeps us from doing things that could damage us. Ok, that is not all bad! But neck pain can bother more than just motion. It can alter daily living. Baton Rouge chiropractic at Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers can help lessen neck pain and restore 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 smarts when twisting to the left, you’ll not 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 throughout the season. (2) That is really life-changing for them and their life dreams! Know that your Baton Rouge chiropractor can know 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 discovery is that preceding cervical spondylosis – degenerative changes in the cervical spine that often appear 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 connected to cervical spine changes that constrict the airway space that occur with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your Baton Rouge chiropractor understands well.
