The shoulders are designed to carry the arms with little support. There are ligaments, tendons and muscles holding the area in a ball and socket fashion. Unlike the hips and femurs, the shoulder is easier moved in all ranges of motion. This puts great physical stress on the joint which can cause shoulder issues.
The muscles which hold the shoulder are fairly small and stretched in comparison to other joints, therefore they can be more susceptible to dislocating and causing pain. This is the reason the shoulder is one of the most oft injured areas.
Look deeper into shoulder issues and patients may not even remember the incident which caused the pain. It could be a very timely trauma such as a car accident or sports injury. Sometimes it is poor positioning or repetitive microtrauma.
A chiropractor can evaluate and look for signs in mobility of the shoulder and neck to identify the problem. Although the arms are used so many times per day, the shoulder can become frozen or cause problems with just a slight movement. A common problem is the rotator cuff, as this can cause major pain and needs to be properly addressed.
As the shoulders are in close relation to the neck, which in turn is part of the spinal column, shoulder pain may be a secondary problem of spinal alignment. Using one of our chiropractic methods, we can assess, align and maintain a common balance for your well being. If the vertebrae or alignment is out of kilter, then this can have the knock on effect which can cause neck and shoulder pains. Headaches are also common with patients who are out of alignment.
Many medical doctors and physicians refer patients towards medications or surgery. Unless there is a tear, this invasive practice or putting medications into your body can further upset the balance. There are so many risks with surgery, which occasionally have problems and medication only masks the pain. Chiropractors use knowledge and specific techniques to find the primary cause of the problem and create a thorough plan to help the body heal.
At The Spinal Correction & Wellness Center, we have properly trained massage therapists and chiropractors who can help not only with the pain but create healing for the body. Correct spinal alignment can control numerous problems ranging from joint pain, muscular pain and internal functional issues. Our patients are advised on correct nutritional needs and are given a roadmap to wellness.
Shoulder pain is often mistaken and untreated. If left for extended periods of time, ligaments or cartilage can tear and cause even larger problems. Using meds to mask the pain, is only effective for a few hours before the next tablet is needed. A chiropractor can assess the damage, help correct the alignment of a patient and massage the location back in to better health. Shoulder pain is at times a secondary effect of a different problem. It could turn out the cervcial area or spine are at fault but the issue is felt more in the shoulder itself. It is important to find out what diagnosis there is and use a chiropractor to help fix it. - 29964
