How Chiropractors Can Help Increase Your Range of Motion

Range of motion is the span of movement of a joint measured in degrees. Many people suffer from a decrease in their range of motion due to causes such as poor lifestyle choices, unhealthy eating habits, and general aging. In some people, this condition can get very severe enough where it can be difficult to bend over and pick something from the floor.

People seldom care about the importance of the range of motion in their youth. However, as time goes by, even simple movements may become challenging, and you may become more prone to injury and tightness. This is where our team of Tustin chiropractors can help you.

How Range of Motion Affects Your Daily Activities?

Your body’s joints move when you perform day-to-day activities like brushing your hair or teeth, tying your shoes, or moving your head to look around. If you think about it, almost all daily activities require a good range of motion from your elbows, shoulders, wrists, cervical spine, lumbar spine, neck, or knees.

As a matter of fact, we often don't notice these joints moving. However, if you have an injury or a degenerative condition in any of these joints, you'll certainly feel the pain, and carrying out everyday activities will become a challenge.

What Happens When Your Spinal Range of Motion Is Reduced?

When your spinal range of motion is reduced, it can also affect other areas of your body. For example, a reduced range of motion in the spine can often lead to headaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, incapacitating back pain, and even infant cramps.  If you have difficulty moving your spine freely or think your spinal range of motion is reduced, visiting a chiropractor is a good idea.
