The Veterans Disability Nexus

Physician Assistant and prior C&P examiner Leah Bucholz discusses Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Neck pain in VA Disability
Leah explores the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and neck pain, particularly in the context of veterans' service-connected disabilities. She explains how OSA can be directly or secondarily service-connected, including connections to PTSD, mental health conditions, orthopaedic conditions, and weight gain. Focusing on neck pain, Leah details how cervical spine pathology can contribute to OSA, referencing various academic articles that support this link. These articles discuss how cervical spine issues, including osteochondromas, osteophytes, and misalignments, can exert pressure on the upper airway, leading to OSA.
