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:
Click on each of these 3 simple steps and then click "Assessment"
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 HealthWise Chiropractic to schedule a more thorough examination.
