Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain

What does neck pain do? It keeps you from repositioning your neck as you want. Pain is crazy like that! It keeps us from doing things that could damage us. Ok, that is not all bad! But neck pain can bother more than just motion. It can disrupt daily living. Sitka chiropractic at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka can help ease neck pain and restore its normal motion.

NECK PAIN LIMITS MOTION

Not only 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 left, you won’t do that. That is a compensatory motion. Normal flexion/extension, lateral, and rotational motions have been recorded in normal patients. (1) And if you think your capabiloity to reposition your neck alters 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 is really life-altering for them and their life dreams! Know that your Sitka chiropractor can tell from a thorough clinical examination just how pain is affecting 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 discovery 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 related. Such sleep apnea is associated with cervical spine changes that tighten the airway space that occur with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spinal issue your Sitka chiropractor know well.
