Cervical Range of Motion Test

Many headaches, neck problems and shoulder pain result from restricted neck motion—something we help people with every day. Here’s a simple test you conduct at home to see if you’re a good candidate for chiropractic care:

Step 1

With the test subject comfortably seated and their eyes closed, have them tilt their head up and down several times, coming to a neutral resting position.

Step 2

With their eyes still closed and without moving their shoulders, have them rotate their head fully to the left and hold for a few seconds.

Step 3

With their eyes still closed and without moving their shoulders, have them rotate their head fully to the right and hold for a few seconds.

Assessment

Was the subject able to rotate their head less in one direction?
Was motion restricted or was pain associated with turning in either direction?
Did the subject hear any “popping” or grinding sounds?

If so, these are significant findings. Call Lupo Chiropractic Spinal Aid Center to schedule a more thorough examination.

Will chiropractic adjustments make my spine too loose?

No. Only the spinal joints that are fixated and "locked up" receive attention. The occasional spinal joint that moves too much is passed over so weakened muscles and ligaments can strengthen and heal.

Are aches and pains good or bad?

While aches or pains may be unpleasant, they're merely warning signs. As a Roseville chiropractor, I see this all the time. The pain is not the problem! It just means a limitation has been reached and something needs to change. That's when we get to work correcting the underlying cause.
