Cross Chiropractic Center Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain

What is the result of neck pain? It keeps you from repositioning 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. Sandy Springs chiropractic at Cross Chiropractic Center can help lessen neck pain and reestablish its normal motion.

NECK PAIN LIMITS MOTION

Not merely does neck pain limit cervical spine motion, it also requires compensatory motions to do what needs to be done. If the neck smarts when turning to the right, 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 influences your life, consider baseball pitchers! College baseball pitchers with limited neck motion during preseason had increased 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 Sandy Springs 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 interesting 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 tighten the airway space such as occur with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your Sandy Springs chiropractor understands well.
