Shoulder Pain Causes

Shoulder pain can happen for different reasons, like injuries, strain from lifting, or even just bad posture. It might be hard to lift your arm, feel achy from sleeping on one side, or be connected to issues in your chest or abdomen. If you have a desk job or not-so-great posture, that could be causing it too. Your chiropractor figures out why you hurt and then uses gentle adjustments to fix the alignment and treat things like pain and muscle spasms. So, if your shoulders are bothering you, a chiropractor can help find the cause and make you feel better with careful adjustments.

Chiropractor Can Treat Shoulder Pain

When you visit your chiropractor, you will first have to undergo a shoulder exam. Shoulder pain is often a result of misaligned spine or neck injuries, such as falls. Left untreated, shoulder dislocations and stress on ligaments, nerves, and the spine can cause lasting harm. That’s why any chiropractic treatment must include an in-depth examination of your range of motion, nerves, and neck to ensure proper healing. 

If required, your chiropractor may also order some additional tests like an MRI or a CT scan. It’s so that they get a better picture of the cause and type of pain.

A chiropractor can assist in restoring your spine and neck health. Through special techniques, they can reduce pressure on the shoulders that causes pain. By identifying the dysfunction in your neck, soft manipulation of joints can be carefully done for increased mobility, relief from discomfort, and stiffness reduction.

In addition to chiropractic treatment, your shoulder pain can be alleviated through other methods such as ice packs, massage therapy, traction devices, and stretching/strengthening exercises. To determine the best course of action for you specifically, your chiropractor will walk through all these options with you in detail.

How Do We Treat Shoulder Pain?

Frequently Asked Questions About Shoulder Pain

Can a chiropractor adjust your shoulder?

Yes, your chiropractor uses chiropractic adjustments to treat, and provide rotator cuff pain relief. Shoulder pain specialists know the right treatments to take care of any shoulder blade injury, and any possible misalignment conditions.

Why is my shoulder pain not going away?

If the pain persists or an everyday activity is painful, it is an indication of aggravated tissues. They start sending pain signals even while not doing anything, and this type of pain and inflammation can lead to more injuries like tissue tears or early arthritis. Early treatment can prevent full rotator cuff tears and possible arthritis.

Can a chiropractor fix shoulder impingement?

Yes, chiropractors can treat pinched impingements, which can lead to neck pain along with pain radiating to the arms from the shoulders. Muscle imbalance is the most common reason for a pinched nerve, and your chiropractor’s adjustments are more than enough to restore balance and release the pinched nerve.

Why does my shoulder pain get worse at night?

If you notice that your shoulder pain is worsening at night, then it’s because of the three conditions- bursitis, rotator cuff injuries, and tendonitis. What happens is that the inflammation in each case tends to pull on the shoulder joint. The tendency is more while the area is compressed, like while you lie on your side in bed. It leads to shoulder pain and stiffness and possible muscle spasms, numbness, and radiating tingling to the fingers.
