Shoulder Pain

WHAT CAUSES SHOULDER PAIN?

Shoulder pain can be caused by various conditions. Injury to the rotator cuff is the most common cause and it is commonly seen in athletes (gymnasts, football players), who tend to put increased stress on the joint.

Activities that involve repetitive shoulder movements can also cause injury. People who work in environment that requires repetitive motion or strenuous upper body work are also at risk.

HOW CAN CHIROPRACTIC HELP?

Chiropractic adjustments reduce joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and other joints in the body to reduce inflammation and improve function of both the affected joint and nervous system.

Doctors assess and correct misalignment or vertebral subluxation in the spine. This is done without the use of drugs or surgery. Correcting the subluxation results in better range of motion, flexibility, posture, and pain relief, to name a few benefits.

 

 

“After a 12 hour flight to Europe, I felt a terrible pain on my shoulders. I went to consult the GP and my condition did not improve after consuming pain killers.

With chiropractic care, I no longer feel pain on my shoulders. There is no need to use any heat pad, plaster or even consume pain killers before I sleep now.

In the past, I could not even brush my hair and I had to use the other hand to support my painful hand in order to lift the brush up. Now, I can lift both arms without support!”
