NJ Chiropractor Explains Shoulder Pain – How it Occurs and How to Correct it

Patients who come in to our Springfield chiropractic office often complain of shoulder pain. This is a common problem for a lot of people, and is seen a lot by chiropractors.

Shoulder pain does have a cause, and Springfield chiropractic is going to tell you can it can be treated.

Continuous strains, trauma, sport injuries, and poor posture have all been linked with shoulder pain, which usually takes a long time to occur. In time, scar issue, adhesions, and inflammation build up and these all just create even more inflammation. The inflammation creates discomfort and tightened muscles. This creates shoulder tightness, which can effect your shoulder movement, and obviously give you pain.

Because it takes a long time to occur, it happens over and over again to keep creating longer pain. If you let the pain go on for too long, something called frozen shoulder syndrome can occur, but Springfield chiropractic does not want you to get close to that point. Even at that severity, it is still treatable.

If the shoulder pain is caught before frozen shoulder syndrome, the treatment can be done with simple chiropractic manipulations and exercises done at home.

We do not want to just treat your pain for now with the possibility of it coming back, so we educate our patients so the pain or symptoms never come back. This is so you can enjoy your life and not have to worry.

The number one tip that we could give is to pay attention to their posture. A lot of pain is linked to posture and the way we carry ourselves, so it is vital not just to look out for shoulder posture, but for everywhere on the body.

Here are some more in depth tips:

1. Informing that correct posture helps the body’s shape and organ function.
2. Showing good posture to start practicing and maintaining. We will show and demonstrate specific exercises to help maintain this
3. Focusing on other areas of the body that could’ve lead to the shoulder pain is done as well. Correcting all imbalanced areas will lead to relief.

Both treatment and education will lead to a pain free life and you will leave our office feeling satisfied. This is helped a countless number of patients stay out of pain permanently.
