Chiropractor Fanwood Explains If Neck Pain Affects Joint Position Sense

Proprioception is the body's ability to sense where its various parts are in relation to one another for purposes of movement and balance.

A recent study found that participants with chronic neck pain in Fanwood performed worse than those without neck pain on a test that measures the ability to return the head to center after looking up, down, or to the side while the eyes are closed or blindfolded.

This suggests that chronic neck pain impacts proprioception.
