What kind of Shoulder Pain can Chiropractics Help With?

Chiropractic care can effectively address a variety of shoulder pain conditions, providing relief through non-invasive methods. One common issue that chiropractors treat is rotator cuff injuries. The rotator cuff, a group of muscles and tendons surrounding the shoulder joint, is crucial for stabilizing and allowing a wide range of movements. When injured, it can cause significant pain and limit mobility. Chiropractic adjustments and targeted therapies can reduce inflammation, improve joint alignment, and enhance muscle function, facilitating recovery from rotator cuff strains or tears.

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is another condition that can benefit from chiropractic care. This painful disorder is characterized by stiffness and limited movement in the shoulder joint. Dr. Rubin and Dr. Smith use gentle mobilization techniques and manual adjustments to improve joint flexibility and reduce pain. Complementary treatments such as soft tissue therapy and specific stretching exercises can further aid in restoring normal shoulder function and preventing future occurrences.

Chiropractic care is also beneficial for those experiencing shoulder pain due to conditions such as bursitis or tendonitis. These inflammatory issues can result from overuse, repetitive motions, or poor posture. Chiropractors can help alleviate these conditions by addressing underlying musculoskeletal imbalances and providing ergonomic advice to prevent further strain. Additionally, they may use techniques like ultrasound therapy or myofascial release to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Through a comprehensive approach, chiropractic care can effectively manage and relieve various types of shoulder pain, enhancing overall shoulder health and functionality.
