Shoulder joint pain can be a debilitating experience, affecting everything from daily tasks to your sleep quality. At Big River Chiropractic, we understand the complexities of this discomfort and are here to offer effective solutions.
Rotator cuff injuries, bursitis, dislocated shoulders, adhesive capsulitis (‘frozen shoulder’), and overuse injuries are among the typical causes of shoulder joint pain. Each of these conditions can disrupt your life in unique ways. Our goal is to identify the root cause of your pain and develop a personalized treatment plan to bring you relief and restore your mobility.
Rotator cuff injuries involve tears or strains in the shoulder’s muscle and tendon area, often causing pain and limited range of motion. These injuries can result from acute trauma or gradual wear and tear.
Bursitis in the shoulder occurs when the bursae, fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joint, become inflamed. This condition often leads to stiffness, swelling, and pain during movement.
A dislocated shoulder happens when the arm bone pops out of the shoulder socket, causing immediate and severe pain. It often requires medical attention to realign and may lead to instability in the joint.
Adhesive capsulitis, or ‘frozen shoulder,’ is characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. It typically develops slowly and can severely limit the range of motion in the shoulder.
Overuse injuries in the shoulder are common in activities that require repetitive motion, leading to strains and pain over time. These can occur from activities like repetitive lifting, extensive computer work, or sports such as swimming, tennis, and baseball.
These activities, especially when performed without proper technique or adequate rest, can strain the shoulder’s muscles and tendons, leading to chronic pain and discomfort.
At Big River Chiropractic, we understand the complexities of shoulder joint pain and offer a range of targeted chiropractic techniques for relief and recovery. From precise alignment to innovative therapies like the Graston Technique and E-Stim, our treatments are designed to address various aspects of shoulder discomfort.
