What is the result of neck pain? It keeps
you from repositioning your neck as you want. Pain is crazy
that way! It prevents 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.
Largo chiropractic at Hollstrom & Associates Inc can help ease
neck pain and reestablish its normal motion.
NECK PAIN LIMITS MOTION
Not only does neck pain restrict
cervical spine motion, it also requires compensatory motions
to do what needs to be done. If the neck aches
when twisting to the right, you will 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 reposition
your neck alters your life, think about
baseball pitchers! College baseball pitchers with limited neck motion during
preseason had increased risk of game
time loss and shoulder and elbow disability during
the season. (2) That is really life-altering
for them and their life dreams! Know that your Largo chiropractor
can tell from a thorough clinical examination just what pain is doing to 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 appear with aging, resulting in 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 that come
with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your Largo chiropractor know
well.
