Noticed a decrease in your ability to turn your head?
Most people seek out chiropractic care when they are in pain not realizing that it offers so much more than reducing pain and discomfort. Improvements to the range of motion to your spine is an important one. Think back to the last time you were driving and needed to change lanes. You go to look over your shoulder to check the lane beside you and realize that you had to turn your whole body instead of just your head. That is a problem. You are supposed to have 90 degrees of rotation in the cervical spine alone.
According to a study from the July 2014 issue of the Journal of Chiropractic and Manual Therapies chiropractic treatment provided measurable improvements in all the participants’ cervical range of motion. They also noted there was a significant dose-response relationship, meaning that the participants had better results the more often they were adjusted.
Chiropractic care can help you regain your range of motion. So, seek out your local chiropractor today for the most effective methods of decreasing inflammation in the spine and improving flexibility.
