How can a Chiropractor Heal Shoulder Pain?
Do you struggle with shoulder pain? Does your shoulder click or clunk when you try to move it--or does it simply not move well at all? If so, consider calling to make an appointment with our medical, chiropractic, and rehabilitation team at the Premier Medical Group in Cape Coral, FL.
Common Causes Of Shoulder Pain
The shoulder is a ball and socket joint, and the most mobile joint in your body. Additional structures within the shoulder girdle include the clavicle (collar bone), scapula (shoulder blades), and surrounding connective tissue. A healthy and pain-free shoulder requires a nuanced and balanced interplay between muscles, ligaments, tendons, bones, nerves, and blood vessels. Breakdown or degradation in any one of these tissues can contribute to pain, abnormal mobility, numbness, and weakness.
When people visit our chiropractic center complaining of shoulder pain, we often end up diagnosing any one of the following common conditions:
- Bicep tendon tear or inflammation
- Rotator cuff strain
- Adhesive capsulitis
- Joint dislocation
- Spinal nerve impingement
- Whiplash
- Arthritis
- Bursitis
All of these conditions respond positively to the services we offer--without the need for surgery and other invasive procedures.
How Our Cape Coral & Fort Myers Team Can Help Relieve Your Shoulder Pain
Cape Coral and Fort Myers chiropractor, Dr. Patrick King and his team, offer a wide range of services to relieve your symptoms and address the underlying causes of your shoulder pain. Services include:
- Chiropractic Adjustments: by correcting and improving the alignment of your spine, we can restore what is known as the "scapulothoracic rhythm," or the quality of movement between the spine, shoulder girdle, and arm. Chiropractic adjustments have also been shown to have a natural analgesic effect and accelerate tissue healing by enhancing the nervous system's ability to communicate with the rest of the body.
- Trigger Point Therapy: Sometimes, injecting a local anesthetic into a tense or in-spasm shoulder muscle is necessary to allow the muscle to relax and initiate the healing process. This also relieves pain and can reduce pressure on nearby nerves.
- Corrective Exercise: We can prescribe specific exercises that can improve the strength, endurance, and flexibility of your many shoulder muscles to promote tissue healing and prevent chronic issues from developing. We can also assess your movement patterns and posture and give you practical tips to help improve your body mechanics.
We also stress the importance of preventing dysfunction before it occurs. This can spare you from the stress, missed work, and general discomfort of dealing with a shoulder injury. For this reason, we invite everyone to consult with our team--even if you just have a little "nagging" injury. Don't let a small problem become a big issue! Let our chiropractic team help.
