Spinal Care Clinic Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain

What is the result of neck pain? It prevents you from repositioning your neck the way you want. Pain is crazy like that! It keeps us from doing things that could hurt. Ok, that is not all bad! But neck pain can bother more than just motion. It can disrupt daily living. Burlington and Hamilton chiropractic at Spinal Care Clinic can help lessen neck pain and restore its normal motion.

NECK PAIN LIMITS MOTION

Not merely does neck pain limit cervical spine motion, it also requires compensatory motions to do what must be done. If the neck aches when twisting to the left, you will not do that. That’s a compensatory motion. Normal flexion/extension, lateral, and rotational motions have been recorded 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 were found to be at increased risk of game time loss and shoulder and elbow disability throughout the season. (2) That’s very life-changing for them and their life dreams! Know that your Burlington and Hamilton chiropractor can tell 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 prior cervical spondylosis – degenerative changes in the cervical spine that often come with aging, resulting in vertebral bone degeneration, disc degeneration, bone spur formation and the like - and obstructive sleep apnea are related. Such sleep apnea is associated with cervical spine changes that constrict the airway space that occur with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spinal issue your Burlington and Hamilton chiropractor understands well.
