Reducing Your Shoulder Pain with Chiropractic Care

By Donna Stark

Low back pain is one of the top reasons for doctor visits and missed work every year, but second to that is shoulder pain. In fact, millions of people suffer from it on a daily basis. The shoulder is one of the body's main joints, and it isn't too hard to understand why shoulder pain is so prevalent, given that it is constantly in use. We work our shoulders, and we work them hard. From daily living to extreme sports, our shoulders provide a critical function to the majority of our movements every single day. They enhance our quality of life, and when they are injured, life can certainly feel as if it was turned upside-down. If you or a loved one is suffering from shoulder pain, it's time to get your life back to being right-side up and you can do that with the help that your local chiropractor at The Joint Chiropractic provides.

Shoulder Pain

You don't often think about how much pain can disrupt your life until you can no longer brush your teeth, tie your shoes, or even get dressed without it searing through your body. Fortunately, your local chiropractor at The Joint Chiropractic can help if that is what you are struggling with, and they can also help before you even get to that point. Let's take a look at some common shoulder conditions that can benefit from chiropractic care.

  • Bursitis
  • Tendinitis
  • Instability
  • Arthritis
  • Frozen shoulder
  • Nerve restrictions
  • Injuries

Contributing Factors

It's important to note that shoulder pain may also be the end result of some other dysfunction that is occurring somewhere else in the body. Therefore, in addition to treating your shoulder, your chiropractor may also end up treating other parts of your body as well. Here are some of those issues that may be contributing to your shoulder pain.

  • Text neck
  • Poor posture
  • Chronic neck pain
  • Spine dysfunction

Perhaps the most important step in regards to the health of your shoulder is to take care of it before it gets hurt. Avoid taking any unnecessary chances when you are lifting or carrying things, ask for help, get the proper athletic training, and take the time to strengthen your core and back muscles.
