Shoulder problems including pain, are one of the more common reasons for visiting us. Shoulders are a very complex structure. With connections, muscles coming from the neck, chest, back and spine.
If you are unsure of the cause of your shoulder pain you should seek Chiropractic help. Treatment is directed at the specific cause of your problem to be effective. Like any other pain condition, the sooner you get appropriate care, the quicker the pain will subside and allow you to go back to normal activities.
Signs that you should seek treatment include: Shoulder pain that persists beyond a few days Recurring shoulder pain, even if it has a history of settling on its own Inability to carry objects or use the arm Injury that causes deformity of the joint Shoulder pain that occurs at night or while resting Inability to raise the arm Swelling or significant bruising around the joint or arm Signs of an infection, including fever, redness, warmth or swelling.
Effective treatment starts with diagnosing what is causing your shoulder pain. We will manually examine all the muscles and ligaments in your shoulder, along with assessing your neck, upper back and chest.
