Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain is a frequent complaint among patients visiting our chiropractic office, stemming from a diverse range of causes akin to the myriad issues that can afflict our musculoskeletal system. The shoulder, characterized by its complexity, stands out as the body’s most mobile joint, which, in turn, contributes to its status as the most unstable. This intricacy is due to the shoulder’s structure, composed of three bones: the collarbone (clavicle), the shoulder blade (scapula), and the upper arm bone (humerus). These bones are interconnected through a network of cartilage, capsules, ligaments, and muscles, creating a joint capable of a wide range of movements but also susceptible to injury.
In our practice, shoulder injuries frequently arise from motor vehicle accidents, highlighting the vulnerability of this joint under impact. Among the common shoulder injuries we diagnose and treat are acromioclavicular (AC) joint sprains, which affect the joint at the top of the shoulder; rotator cuff strains, involving tears or stretches in the rotator cuff muscles and tendons; bursitis, an inflammation of the cushioning fluid sacs within the shoulder; and labral tears, which refer to damage to the ring of cartilage (labrum) that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint.
Understanding the multifaceted nature of shoulder pain is crucial for effective treatment. Our approach focuses on identifying the specific cause of pain for each patient, whether it’s related to the acromioclavicular joint, rotator cuff, bursitis, labral tears, or other issues. By addressing the root cause of discomfort through chiropractic care, we aim to restore mobility, alleviate pain, and prevent future injuries. Our expertise in managing shoulder pain, especially following motor vehicle accidents, positions us as a leading provider of chiropractic care for shoulder injuries.
