Soft Health and Healing Clinic Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain

What does neck pain do? It keeps you from moving your neck the way you want. Pain is crazy like that! It keeps 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 disrupt daily living. Brooks chiropractic at Soft Health and Healing Clinic can help ease neck pain and restore its normal motion.

NECK PAIN LIMITS MOTION

Not only does neck pain restrict cervical spine motion, it also requires compensatory motions to do what must be done. If the neck aches when turning 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 capabiloity 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’s really life-changing for them and their life dreams! Know that your Brooks 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’re a baseball player or not!) get it back.

NECK ISSUES INFLUENCE SLEEP APNEA

Another interesting cervical spine finding is that prior 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 related. 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 Brooks chiropractor know well.
