What does neck pain do? It prevents
you from repositioning your neck as you want. Pain is crazy
that way! It keeps us from doing things that could
hurt. Ok, that’s not all bad! But neck pain can disturb
more than just motion. It can alter daily living.
San Jose chiropractic at Chiropractic Solutions can help lessen
neck pain and reestablish its normal motion.
NECK PAIN LIMITS MOTION
Not merely does neck pain restrict
cervical spine motion, it also requires compensatory motions
to do what must 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 recorded in
normal patients. (1) And if you think your capabiloity to reposition
your neck affects 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 San Jose 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 curious cervical spine finding
is that previous 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 linked to cervical spine
changes that tighten the airway space such as happen
with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spinal
issue your San Jose chiropractor understands
well.
