Layden Chiropractic Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain

What does neck pain do? It keeps you from repositioning your neck the way you want. Pain is effective like that! It prevents us from doing things that could damage us. Ok, that’s not all bad! But neck pain can bother more than just motion. It can alter daily living. Plainville chiropractic at Layden Chiropractic can help ease neck pain and reestablish its normal motion.

NECK PAIN LIMITS MOTION

Not merely does neck pain restrict cervical spine motion, it also necessitates compensatory motions to do what must be done. If the neck aches when twisting to the right, you will not do that. That is a compensatory motion. Normal flexion/extension, lateral, and rotational motions have been documented in normal patients. (1) And if you think your ability to reposition your neck alters your life, consider baseball pitchers! College baseball pitchers with limited neck motion during preseason were found to be at higher risk of game time loss as well as shoulder and elbow disability throughout the season. (2) That is very life-changing for them and their life dreams! Know that your Plainville 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 curious 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 linked to cervical spine changes that constrict the airway space such as come with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your Plainville chiropractor understands well.
