Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
Your shoulder has a wider range of motion than any other joint in the body. It has this flexibility thanks to the rotator cuff, which is a group of four muscles and tendons. Since your rotator cuff is frequently moved throughout the day, any injury or inflammation in this area of the body can leave you with pain and discomfort.
One of the most common causes of shoulder pain is a condition called rotator cuff tendonitis. This condition occurs when your tendons become trapped beneath the highest part of your shoulder. It's often caused by repetitive motions and can leave you with symptoms like swelling, pain, and stiffness.
Other causes of shoulder pain include:
- Bursitis
- Bone spurs
- Arthritis
- Dislocated shoulder
- Stiff muscles
- Compressed nerves
- Overuse injuries
- Rotator cuff tears
Poor posture can also lead to joint pain in the shoulder. If your shoulders are slumped forward during the day, you could irritate the tendons in the shoulder.
What a Chiropractor Does to Help
Chiropractic care is focused on treating the issues that cause pain and distress, which is why our chiropractor will examine your body to see why you have shoulder pain. Once the source of your pain has been identified, we will develop a customized treatment plan for you.
Soft tissue therapy can relax tight muscles in the shoulder, relieving stiffness and increasing circulation at the site of the injury. Likely, our chiropractor will also use manipulation and adjustments to help you recover. These techniques will help ensure that your shoulder is in the right position.
In addition to treating the injury that's causing you pain, we will work with you to strengthen the muscles in your shoulder so that you can avoid future injuries. We may teach you stretches and exercises that can be done at home. In addition, our chiropractor may suggest that you change your lifting technique or handle certain tasks differently to avoid future injuries.
