What are some of the Common Causes of Shoulder Pain?

Shoulder pain typically revolves around two areas. You may have a rotator cuff injury, such as repetitive use syndrome, due to overusing your shoulder. An auto accident injury or sports injury can also lead to painful damage to the shoulder joint and connecting ligaments. In addition, old injuries that were not treated properly may cause reoccurring flare-ups of shoulder pain.  

What are Symptoms of Shoulder Pain?

The primary symptom of shoulder pain is a lack of mobility. This is due to inflammation and swelling of the shoulder muscles that prevent you from moving your shoulder. If your rotator cuff has been damaged, the tendons in the rotator cuff are likely torn or distended. This will also lead to inflammation and swelling. Other symptoms of shoulder pain are muscle weakness, numbness, or a lack of control in the arm and hand. 

What are Chiropractic Treatment Options for Shoulder Pain?

When you go to a chiropractor for shoulder pain treatment options, we will start with a chiropractic adjustment. This will realign your musculoskeletal system so that any out of place muscle tissue will return to its normal position. During a chiropractic adjustment, you also benefit from increased circulation. This aids in all-natural pain relief thanks to a natural flow of endorphins throughout your body.
