Question
have on going neck pain from long time ago injury. Have taken up swimming and am finding getting pain into shoulders and arms. Neck ROM has deteriorated. What sort of things should i be doing or even considering having done?
would an Xray be of any use to see what is happening?
thanx

Hello Lisa,
X-ray of the cervical spine would help, it would allow you to see how much/little degeneration has occurred in the joints that were injured. You may want to consider seeing a doctor of chiropractic to determine exactly the cause of your condition. Myofascial (muscle)work and adjustments can help restore range of motion and flexibility.
Have a great day!
