Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC Helps Restore Limited Neck Range of Motion and Pain
What is the result of neck pain? It keeps you from repositioning your neck the way you want. Pain is effective like that! It prevents us from doing things that could hurt. Ok, that is not all bad! But neck pain can bother more than just motion. It can disrupt daily living. La Grande chiropractic at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC can help reduce 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 needs to be done. If the neck hurts when turning to the left, you will 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 reposition your neck affects your life, consider baseball pitchers! College baseball pitchers with limited neck motion during preseason had increased risk of game time loss and shoulder and elbow disability throughout the season. (2) That’s very life-changing for them and their life dreams! Know that your La Grande chiropractor can tell 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 discovery is that preceding cervical spondylosis – degenerative changes in the cervical spine that often appear 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 linked to cervical spine changes that constrict the airway space such as occur with cervical spondylosis. (3) Cervical spondylosis is another spine condition your La Grande chiropractor understands well.
