Shoulder problems are one of the most common complaints seen at our office. These
conditions are often frustrating for patients as they may receive different diagnosis.
Successful treatment depends on determining the true cause of your pain. We provide
a thorough orthopedic and soft tissue assessment to come up with the true cause
for your pain and then determine the best treatment for your condition.
Common shoulder problems include: rotator cuff tendonitis, bursitis, impingement
syndromes, A-C joint separations, osteoarthritis, and instability problems. In chiropractic,
we often find that problems in the neck or cervical spine are actually the true
cause of pain in the shoulder region. Irritation of nerves in the neck refer pain
to the shoulder and arm and are often misdiagnosed unless a full spinal examination
is performed.
Treatments for shoulder disorders usually involve soft tissue therapy, mobilizations,
spinal corrections, ultrasound and electrotherapies, and rehab exercises. In our
experience full success in shoulder disorders must include appropriate exercises
and home care.
