Shoulder Pain? Understand How Chiropractic Can Help

Are you living with shoulder pain? The pain may be from a sports injury, work or just repetitive motion. If it is painful to move your arm, you know it is time to find relief.

Understanding the Shoulder

The shoulder is the most flexible joint in your body made up of three bones. But, that also makes it the most unstable. With this instability, it is susceptible to several common injuries, including:

• Sprains and strains
• Dislocations
• Separations
• Tendinitis
• Bursitis
• Torn rotator cuffs
• Frozen shoulder
• Fractures (broken bones)
• Arthritis

At Skyline Chiropractic, we see many patients with various shoulder injuries. One of the most common causes of pain comes from our technology-filled world. Working or studying in front of a computer all day, often leads to rotator cuff issues. It not only causes pain, but also a lack of mobility. Another repetitive motion is using  your phone, and it can also lead to shoulder pain.

How Will Chiropractic Care Help Shoulder Pain?

As mentioned above, those three bones that make up the shoulder are susceptible to moving out of alignment. They are also affected by other parts of your body being out of alignment. You will discover that chiropractic treatment is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that can reduce the misalignments in your shoulder and spine.

A study published in the Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association found that shoulder pain is quite common and also helped by chiropractic care.

Relief starts with a full evaluation by your chiropractor, where you will discuss the cause of your pain and evaluate your range of motion. Treatment will often look beyond manipulation to also include exercises, stretches and a discussion as to how to avoid the injury in the future.
