Wilson Family Chiropractic Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain

What is the result of neck pain? It keeps you from repositioning 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 bother more than just motion. It can alter daily living. Millville chiropractic at Wilson Family Chiropractic can help relieve 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 aches when twisting to the left, you’ll 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 were found to be at increased risk of game time loss and shoulder and elbow disability during the season. (2) That’s very life-altering for them and their life dreams! Know that your Millville chiropractor can tell from a thorough clinical examination just how pain is affecting 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 previous 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 tighten the airway space that come with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your Millville chiropractor understands well.
