Hollstrom & Associates Inc Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain
What does neck pain do? It keeps you from moving your neck as you want. Pain is effective that way! 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 alter daily living. Largo chiropractic at Hollstrom & Associates Inc 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 smarts when turning to the right, you’ll 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 capabiloity to move your neck alters your life, consider baseball pitchers! College baseball pitchers with limited neck motion during preseason had increased risk of game time loss and shoulder and elbow disability throughout the season. (2) That’s 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 interesting cervical spine finding is that preceding cervical spondylosis – degenerative changes in the cervical spine that often appear 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 come with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your Largo chiropractor know well.
