SHOULDER PAIN

Shoulder pain can be caused by a myriad of different problems. Left untreated, or improperly treated, chronic issues develop that become extremely limiting and sometimes debilitating. Not all shoulder problems stem from injuries or trauma. As a result, it’s not mystery that when they are treated like an injury….they don’t get better.

How Can Shoulder Problems Develop?

The shoulder attaches to both the cervical spine (neck) and the thoracic spine (upper back) with a series of muscles, ligaments, and nerves that coordinate so that the shoulder operates as a function of the entire upper body. Often, irritated nerves from the cervical and thoracic spines, joint dysfunction in the thoracic and cervical spines, and overall postural dysfunction can be the cause of problems in the shoulder. This can lead to a dysfunctional shoulder, mechanically compromising the function of the shoulder and can lead to further damage, injury and chronic issues.

What If Other Forms of Treatment Haven’t Worked?

While medical treatment for most shoulder problems involves anti-inflammatory medications, pain relievers and maybe some exercises to do at home to help re-gain range of motion, not all shoulder problems respond to this type of approach.

Conservative Chiropractic Treatment should, after a thorough history and exam, address what’s generating the pain, where the tissue is damaged, and what the underlying cause of the shoulder pain is. Combining Chiropractic Care with other modalities such as Manual Soft Tissue Techniques, Electrical Stimulation, Ultrasound, Cold Laser Therapy, and Rehabilitative Exercise many shoulder pain sufferers have found relief after other methods have failed.

"In early 2009, I was diagnosed with a partial ('borderline') rotator cuff tear in my right shoulder. The pain I experienced kept me up at night and I noticed an increase in the frequency of headaches. I met with an orthopedic surgeon who advised me of the different arthroscopic surgical options to treat my shoulder pain. The surgeon then referred me to physical therapy which I found to be a waste of my time. I decided to try a Chiropractor, to see if my issue could be treated in another way. I met with the Doctors at Chiropractic Care Center who were confident that they could help. An exam and X-rays were performed and a treatment plan was set in place.

After many adjustments, therapy and soft tissue work, I began the healing process. My shoulder went from about 50% movement to well over 95% in a matter of a few weeks. I have also not had a migraine headache in over 6 months (I used to live on migraine medicine for years). I am currently being treated preventatively every two weeks to help keep me in good shape. I cannot thank the Doctors and staff for keeping me active and helping me get well!"
