Don’t Be Limited By Your Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain is one of the common symptoms that chiropractors treat. As you age, you are more likely to experience shoulder pain from a variety of common conditions. Pain can come on gradually or abruptly, ranging from mild to excruciating.
Shoulder pain is often due to an irritation of the tendons, muscles, ligaments or nerves in the area. It can be an inflamed bursa capsule called bursitis. It can be sprained or strained triceps muscles (upper arm) or subscapularis muscles (underneath the shoulder blade).

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 environments that require repetitive motion or strenuous upper body work are also at risk.

Bursitis: Inflammation and swelling between the top of the arm bone and the tip of the shoulder.
Dislocated shoulder: Upper arm bone pops out of the shoulder socket.
Fracture: Broken bones of the shoulder commonly occur after a fall in elderly patients or an injury in younger patients.
Frozen shoulder: Severe stiffness and an inability to move one’s shoulder the way they normally would.
Tendonitis: Inflammation of your rotator cuff or biceps tendon.
Osteoarthritis: Wear and tear, infection, or inflammation of the lining of the joint related to sports or work injuries.

Regular Chiropractic Treatment
Our trained chiropractors will apply force to adjust misalignments in your spine to help relieve, reverse and resolve symptoms you are experiencing, ultimately helping you to resume your daily activities.
Decompression Therapy
Nonsurgical procedure intended to relieve pressure in the targeted segment of the spine by gently stretching it to create a negative pressure in it. This stretch will allow herniated/bulging discs to retract and promote blood flow back to the discs to improve recovery. Decompression Therapy has been known to be effective for conditions such as slipped discs, sciatica, disc degeneration and nerve compression.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwaves are transient acoustic waves which have the unique ability to transmit high energy peaks. Shockwave Therapy focuses the high dosages of energy to painful spots through deep cell stimulation, which triggers the tissue healing and regeneration process. This effect is favourable in resolving persistent pain conditions in the joints, tendons and muscles.
