What does neck pain do? It prevents
you from moving your neck as you want. Pain is effective
that way! It prevents us from doing things that could
hurt. Ok, that’s not all bad! But neck pain can bother
more than just motion. It can alter daily living.
Fort Wayne chiropractic at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc 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 requires compensatory motions
to do what must be done. If the neck smarts
when twisting to the left, you will 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 influences 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 and shoulder and elbow disability throughout
the season. (2) That is very life-changing
for them and their life dreams! Know that your Fort Wayne chiropractor
can tell 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 interesting cervical spine discovery
is that prior cervical spondylosis – degenerative
changes in the cervical spine that often happen 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 connected to cervical spine
changes that constrict the airway space that come
with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spinal
issue your Fort Wayne chiropractor understands
well.
