Treatment for Shoulder Pain
When you visit us, we will evaluate your condition and determine the root cause of your shoulder pain. We’ll also discuss your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle with you. Once we identify what is causing your discomfort, we will work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan. Your treatment may include the following:
Chiropractic Adjustments
A chiropractic adjustment is often the first treatment our chiropractor will recommend for shoulder pain. The adjustments can help correct any misalignments that may be causing discomfort. Misalignments in your spine or ribs can also contribute to pain in your shoulder. We may focus on adjusting your spine, shoulder, and any other necessary regions to relive your pain.
Corrective Exercises
In addition to chiropractic adjustments, we may suggest corrective exercises. We will teach you how to do these exercises in their office and you'll continue them at home. The movements can strengthen weak muscles, improve your flexibility, and help your shoulder heal.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses a laser to treat your shoulder pain. The treatment is designed to increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and relive your pain.
Lifestyle Advice
Our chiropractor may also recommend some lifestyle changes. These modifications might include taking frequent breaks to stretch at work, beginning an exercise program, or adjusting your diet.
