Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic 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 that way! It prevents 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. Eugene chiropractic at Rethwill Chiropractic Clinic 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 must be done. If the neck aches when twisting to the left, 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 ability to reposition your neck affects your life, think about baseball pitchers! College baseball pitchers with limited neck motion during preseason were found to be at higher risk of game time loss as well as shoulder and elbow disability during the season. (2) That is really life-altering for them and their life dreams! Know that your Eugene 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’re 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, resulting in vertebral bone degeneration, disc degeneration, bone spur formation and the like - and obstructive sleep apnea are related. Such sleep apnea is connected to cervical spine changes that constrict the airway space that occur with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your Eugene chiropractor know well.
