Shoulder Pain
Most people don’t pay much attention to their shoulders until they start hurting. Because the shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body and is constantly used to lift, carry, and perform countless motions, it is especially prone to injury and pain. Shoulder problems, if left untreated, can lead to serious, long-lasting issues that affect your daily life. Common causes of shoulder pain include neck and upper back tightness, spinal misalignment, arthritis, abnormal movement patterns, athletic injuries, and car accidents. Interestingly, many shoulder issues actually originate from nerve irritation caused by spinal problems in the neck and upper back, meaning what feels like shoulder pain could be referred pain from the spine.
Chiropractic Care for Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain symptoms can vary widely—from subtle discomfort to sudden, sharp pain—and should never be ignored, especially if they persist or worsen. Signs such as difficulty raising the arm, pain when carrying objects, joint swelling, or unusual clicking should prompt immediate evaluation. Chiropractic care offers a gentle, non-invasive approach to diagnosing and treating shoulder pain. By conducting thorough evaluations, including medical history and imaging, chiropractors can pinpoint the root cause and create a personalized treatment plan.
