Vancouver Disc Centers Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain
What does neck pain do? It prevents you from moving your neck the way you want. Pain is effective that way! It keeps us from doing things that could hurt. Ok, that’s not all bad! But neck pain can bother more than just motion. It can alter daily living. Vancouver chiropractic at Vancouver Disc Centers can help ease 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 hurts when twisting to the right, you’ll not 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 ability to move your neck influences your life, consider baseball pitchers! College baseball pitchers with limited neck motion during preseason had higher risk of game time loss as well as shoulder and elbow disability during the season. (2) That’s very life-changing for them and their life dreams! Know that your Vancouver 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 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 connected to cervical spine changes that constrict the airway space that come with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spinal issue your Vancouver chiropractor understands well.
