Shoulder Pain

Most individuals never realize the importance of their shoulders and how much they are relied upon for daily use until one or both get misaligned or sustain injury. How many times have you reached for a top shelf item in your kitchen and stopped in mid-reach due to pain in the shoulder joint? Fortunately, a few trips to All Health Chiropractic Clinic can help provide relief for that shoulder pain and help restore your range of motion in either one of both if necessary.

If you have lost range of motion to the extent that you cannot reach behind your back or above your head,

or you have been avoiding using your shoulder because of a lingering sprain, strain, or torn muscle, it may be time to do something about it.

Whether it is a dull ache, excruciating pain, or a tingling feeling that radiates down either arm, shoulder pain can hinder your quality of life. Unfortunately, this is a very common condition among many Americans. However, this does not mean it is a condition you need to live with.

Common Causes of Shoulder Pain

One of the most common reasons All Health Chiropractic Clinic treats patients with shoulder pain is due to the tendons of the rotator cuff getting trapped beneath the bony area of the shoulder. When this happens, the tendons get damaged and inflamed, causing a condition known as bursitis or rotator cuff tendonitis. Shoulder pain can also be caused by one or more issues.
In some cases, shoulder pain may be attributed to an issue or problem in the lungs, neck, or other areas of the body. This is more commonly called “referred pain” which is characterized with no worsening of pain even when moving the shoulder.
