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

What is the result of neck pain? It prevents you from repositioning your neck the way you want. Pain is effective like that! It keeps 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. Manahawkin chiropractic at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center 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 necessitates compensatory motions to do what needs to be done. If the neck aches when turning to the right, you won’t 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 move your neck affects your life, consider baseball pitchers! College baseball pitchers with limited neck motion during preseason were found to be at increased risk of game time loss and shoulder and elbow disability during the season. (2) That’s really life-changing for them and their life dreams! Know that your Manahawkin chiropractor can know 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 finding is that preceding cervical spondylosis – degenerative changes in the cervical spine that often come 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 associated with cervical spine changes that tighten the airway space that occur with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your Manahawkin chiropractor know well.
