SHOULDER
PAIN

Chiropractic care can be effective for several shoulder conditions by focusing on alignment, improving mobility, and reducing pain. Some shoulder conditions that may benefit from chiropractic care include:

        1.      Rotator Cuff Injuries: These injuries involve the muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. Chiropractic adjustments and targeted exercises can help reduce pain and improve function.
        2.      Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): This condition is characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. Chiropractors can use mobilization techniques and stretching exercises to improve range of motion.
        3.      Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: This occurs when the shoulder blades rub against the rotator cuff, causing pain and inflammation. Chiropractic care can help correct posture and relieve pressure on the shoulder.
        4.      Shoulder Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae (small fluid-filled sacs) in the shoulder can cause pain and limited movement. Chiropractic adjustments and therapies can reduce inflammation and improve shoulder mechanics.
        5.      Labral Tears: Tears in the cartilage around the shoulder socket can lead to pain and instability. Chiropractors can provide non-surgical treatments to manage symptoms and improve shoulder stability.
        6.      Tendinitis: Inflammation of the shoulder tendons can cause pain and reduced mobility. Chiropractic treatments can help decrease inflammation and promote healing.
        7.      Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: After shoulder surgery, chiropractic care can assist in rehabilitation by improving mobility, reducing scar tissue formation, and enhancing overall recovery.
        8.      Muscle Strains and Sprains: Overuse or acute injuries to the shoulder muscles can benefit from chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitative exercises to promote healing and restore function.

Chiropractors often use a combination of manual adjustments, physical therapy, and exercise recommendations to address these conditions.
