Shoulder Pain Relief

Many types of chronic shoulder joint pain respond well to chiropractic. They include discomfort that develops through the wear and tear of daily life. An example is a pain when lifting the arm.

The rotator cuff is a mesh of muscles and tendons that covers the upper arm bone (acromion) where it meets the shoulder blade. Shoulder pain from the rotator cuff has three main causes: Tendinitis, in which the tendons in the cuff are irritated or damaged Bursitis, which is an inflammation of the fluid sac (bursa) between the rotator cuff and the bone on top of your shoulder (acromion) Impingement, which is inflammation or pressure placed on the tendons or bursa Your shoulder joint pain may also be caused by a cartilage tear, an injury in the padding around the joint. All of these common conditions involve muscle, cartilage or tendons.

Pinched Nerve in Shoulder

Health Benefits

In addition to treating your shoulder pain, your chiropractic treatments provide additional health benefits. For example, one health benefit is improved circulation. The adjustments help remove the stagnant blood out of the bloodstream, allowing new blood to enter. This in turn supplies the body with the oxygen it needs to create energy.

Financial Benefits

When you see a traditional medical doctor, much of the treatment depends on expensive prescription medications and follow-up appointments, but with no real “treatments” being provided. This process can become quite expensive, even if you have some form of medical insurance. Those expenses can skyrocket if the doctor decides that surgery is the only answer. When you come to our clinic for chiropractic treatments, the cost is much more affordable.

Time Benefits

Each session with your chiropractor will last approximately 20 minutes. There is usually no waiting to see your chiropractor. Most of us who have been to a traditional doctor know that we will usually end up waiting a significant period of time in the waiting area, only to be ushered into the examining room to sit and wait even longer before the doctor finally arrives. And when they do arrive, it is not unusual for patients to feel very rushed through the meeting, which is often over in minutes.
