Shoulder Pain

Understanding Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can arise from various causes, including rotator cuff injuries, shoulder impingement syndrome, bursitis, tendonitis, or instability. Common symptoms include pain, stiffness, weakness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. Whether your shoulder pain is due to sports-related injuries, repetitive strain, or everyday activities, our goal is to provide targeted care to alleviate discomfort and enhance function.

Treatment Modalities

Our approach to treating shoulder pain integrates advanced chiropractic techniques and rehabilitative strategies tailored to your specific condition. Here are the key modalities we utilize:

  1. Chiropractic Adjustments

 Shoulder Joint Manipulation: Gentle adjustments to the shoulder joint help restore proper alignment, reduce inflammation, and improve joint function. These adjustments can alleviate pain associated with shoulder injuries and improve mobility.

 2. Soft Tissue Therapy

  • Myofascial Release: This technique focuses on releasing tightness and tension in the muscles and fascia surrounding the shoulder joint. It promotes circulation, reduces muscle spasms, and enhances flexibility.

  • Trigger Point Therapy: Targeted pressure on trigger points within muscles helps relieve pain and improve muscle function, aiding in the rehabilitation of shoulder injuries.

 3. Rehabilitative Exercises

  • Strengthening Exercises: Specific exercises are prescribed to strengthen the muscles supporting the shoulder joint, including the rotator cuff muscles and scapular stabilizers. Strengthening these muscles improves stability and reduces the risk of future injuries.

  • Range of Motion Exercises: Gentle stretches and range of motion exercises help improve flexibility in the shoulder joint, restoring normal movement patterns and reducing stiffness.

  •  Postural Correction and Ergonomics: Addressing poor posture and ergonomic factors that contribute to shoulder pain is crucial. We provide guidance on proper posture, ergonomic adjustments in daily activities, and ergonomic equipment to prevent recurring shoulder issues.
