The treatment of shoulder pain depends entirely on the cause of the
problem. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that you understand the
cause of your symptoms before embarking on a treatment program. If you
are unsure of your diagnosis, or the severity of your condition, you
should seek medical advice before beginning any treatment.
Your chiropractor looks at your overall health, focusing not only on
your shoulder, but also on your lifestyle, such as diet and amount of
daily exercise. This integrated approach helps determine the best
treatment for your shoulder pain. To help identify the cause of your
problem, you and your chiropractor will discuss your symptoms and
previous injuries, your family health history, and your lifestyle,
including recreational and work related physical activities.
Your chiropractor is uniquely qualified to restore the health of your
spine and neck. Special chiropractic techniques may relieve the pressure
that is causing your shoulder pain. After locating the misaligned
vertebrae in your neck, your chiropractor manually applies gentle
pressure and repositions the vertebrae. These adjustments can help
restore alignment, improve mobility, and relieve pain and stiffness.
Your chiropractor may recommend other types of treatment for relieving
your shoulder pain. These may include moist heat, ice packs, massage,
traction, or stretching and strengthening exercises
