Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain

What does neck pain do? It keeps you from repositioning your neck the way you want. Pain is crazy 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 alter daily living. Toronto chiropractic at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre can help relieve 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 smarts 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 influences 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 very life-altering 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 discovery is that prior cervical spondylosis – degenerative changes in the cervical spine that often happen 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 that happen with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your Toronto chiropractor understands well.
