Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre 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 like that! 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. Toronto chiropractic at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre 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 necessitates compensatory motions to do what must be done. If the neck aches when twisting to the left, you won’t 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 capabiloity to move your neck affects your life, consider baseball pitchers! College baseball pitchers with limited neck motion during preseason had higher risk of game time loss and shoulder and elbow disability throughout the season. (2) That is really life-changing for them and their life dreams! Know that your Toronto 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 finding 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 associated. Such sleep apnea is associated with cervical spine changes that tighten the airway space such as happen with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your Toronto chiropractor understands well.
