Got Shoulder Pain?

Shoulder pain is a common problem that affects many people. In fact, it’s one of the top reasons people visit a doctor or a physical therapist. Studies have shown that up to 70% of adults will experience shoulder pain at some point in their lives. This type of pain can occur for a variety of reasons, such as injuries, overuse, or conditions like arthritis. It’s important to understand that shoulder pain can happen to anyone, regardless of age or activity level.


When shoulder pain occurs, it can make everyday tasks, like lifting a grocery bag, reaching for a high shelf, sleeping, or even getting dressed can be painful and challenging. This can greatly impact your daily life, making it hard to work, participate in favorite activities or sports, or even just enjoying spending time with family and friends.

Common Causes of Shoulder Pain

The shoulder is a unique joint that allows for a wide range of motion, but this also makes it less stable than other joints. Injuries can happen because the upper arm’s ball is bigger than the shoulder socket. To help keep the shoulder in place, it relies on soft tissues like muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These tissues can be easily damaged from overuse, underuse, or accidents.

PAIN MANAGEMENT TREATMENT FOR WIDE RANGE OF CONDITIONS

Dislocation

When the shoulder joint pops out of place, it can cause pain and limit movement.

Whiplash

A sudden jerking motion, like in a car accident, can cause the neck to whip back and forth. This can injure the muscles and ligaments, leading to neck pain.

Impingement syndrome

When shoulder tissues get pinched, it can cause pain and make it hard to lift the arm.

Tendinosis

This is when the tendons in the shoulder become weak or damaged, often from overuse.

Rotator cuff tear

A tear in the shoulder’s rotator cuff can cause pain and make it difficult to move the arm.

Adhesive Capsulitis (frozen shoulder)

This condition makes the shoulder stiff and painful, limiting its movement.

Fracture

A broken bone in the shoulder can cause severe pain and make it hard to move the arm.

Inflamed bursae

Swelling in the small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the shoulder joint can lead to pain and discomfort.

Arthritis Inflammation

When the joints in the shoulder become inflamed and worn down, it can cause pain and stiffness.

FAQs About Shoulder Pain

  • WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC CARE?​

    Chiropractic care is a natural, hands-on therapy technique that uses gentle and precise spinal adjustments to correct misalignments and alleviate spinal nerve stress.


    “The essential services provided by chiropractors represent a primary approach for the prevention, diagnosis and conservative management of back pain and spinal disorders that can often enable patients to reduce or avoid the need for riskier treatments, such as prescription opioid pain medications and surgery,” according to the American Chiropractic Association.

  • WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE?​

    Lower back pain, neck pain, and chronic headaches are the main reasons most people decide to see a chiropractor. As a natural, holistic healing method that doesn’t involve drugs or surgery, chiropractic care is an ideal option for patients who are looking for pain relief, but want to avoid prescription medication or more invasive medical treatments. Some first-time patients may have already tried traditional treatment methods without success. Chiropractors take a whole-person approach to wellbeing by acknowledging that there are many factors that affect your health, including exercise, nutrition, sleep, environment, stress, and genetics. Although chiropractors do use spinal manipulation to make necessary structural adjustments, they also give their patients beneficial lifestyle recommendations, and empower them to be an active participant in their own health. Chiropractic care can help with a wide range of problems, including:


    - Postural problems - Low back pain - Herniated discs - Sciatica - Chronic headaches - Neck pain - Sprains and strains - Degenerative arthritis


    - Sports injuries


    - Chronic pain


    - Carpal tunnel


    - TMJ, or jaw disorders


    - Knee pain
