Introduction

Shoulder pain can be very debilitating and can affect anyone at any time. There are several causes of shoulder pain, including rotator cuff injury, tendonitis and frozen shoulder. Chiropractic treatment is an all-natural approach that doesn’t require drugs or surgery to make your symptoms go away.

Rotator Cuff

rotator cuff

The rotator cuff is a group of tendons and muscles that connect the shoulder to the arm. The rotator cuff tendonitis is a common shoulder injury, where you experience pain in your shoulder when lifting your arm above your head or out to the side. It can also occur when you’re performing basic daily tasks such as reaching for something on a high shelf or pulling up on something heavy like a piece of furniture.

If you’ve ever suffered from frozen shoulder, you know just how debilitating it can be. The condition causes pain and stiffness in the shoulder joint, along with difficulty moving your arm in certain directions. It’s characterized by inflammation and scarring that gradually restricts movement of the muscles surrounding the joint.

In most cases, people who have a frozen shoulder have no idea what caused it. But while they may not know what caused their symptoms, they often do experience similar symptoms if they try to move their shoulder too quickly or lift something heavy with their arms outstretched (as opposed to using both hands). This can lead to further injury if these movements aren’t controlled carefully enough!

Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow is a condition that affects the tendons in your elbow. You may have pain around your elbow joint and feel like you can’t grip things tight or lift heavy objects. You may also have pain when bending, extending, rotating (twisting), or resting the elbow on a surface. The pain can be constant or it may come and go throughout the day or night. You may wake up with tennis elbow because it gets worse when you sleep at night.

You’re more likely to get tennis elbow if you do repetitive activities such as:

• Overhead sports like tennis, racquetball, volleyball, hockey and baseball
• Computer work where you use your hands above shoulder level (like typing on a keyboard)
• Gardening by hand-pulling weeds

Shoulder Impingement

Shoulder impingement is a condition in which the tendons and soft tissues of the shoulder become compressed or pinched within the shoulder joint. This happens when these tissues end up beneath a bony bump on the acromion (the bony ridge on your shoulder blade). The acromion creates a shelf-like structure that can cause muscle, tendon and bone to become trapped between it and the humeral head (where your arm bone attaches to your scapula).

This type of injury often happens when you lift something heavy with poor technique, but it can also be caused by repetitive overhead motions such as throwing or swimming. If left untreated, it could lead to more serious conditions such as rotator cuff tears or labrum tears.

Tendonitis

Tendonitis is an inflammation of a tendon, which is the tissue that connects muscle to bone. It can cause pain and swelling in the area where it’s located. The condition typically develops after overuse, repetitive movements or trauma to the affected area.

Treatment for tendonitis includes rest, ice and anti-inflammatory medications. Chiropractic treatment may also be beneficial for some people with this condition. However, exercise is important for preventing recurrence of tendonitis; if you experience pain during exercise after being inactive for a long period of time, talk with your doctor about how soon you should start exercising again

Shoulder pain can be annoying and persistent or just a one-off ache. Either way, there’s no need to grin and bear it. Chiropractic treatment can help to restore good function, range of motion and strength to your shoulder, so you can get back to enjoying life with a pain-free arm. A chiropractor can also advise you on how to avoid making matters worse, so you won’t have another flare up in the near future.

Chiropractic treatment is a safe, effective and all-natural approach to treating shoulder pain that doesn’t involve medication or surgery. It aims to relieve pressure on joints by realigning them through gentle manipulations that stimulate your body’s own healing mechanisms – no matter how long the issue has been going on for!

There are several different types of shoulder pain that chiropractors treat often. The most common ones include:

• Rotator cuff injuries: These injuries occur when the tendons and muscles in your shoulder become inflamed or torn. They can cause pain, weakness, stiffness and other symptoms in your shoulder joint.
• Frozen shoulder syndrome: This disorder causes pain and stiffness in the front of your upper arm (humerus). It can also cause limited mobility for daily tasks, such as putting on a shirt or lifting a gallon of milk out of the refrigerator.
• Tennis elbow: This condition causes pain along the outside edge of your forearm — specifically where muscles attach to bones at two points in what’s called “the common extensor tendon.” You may feel tenderness when you bend or straighten your wrist, squeeze something with force or lift objects with heavy weight (such as groceries).

Arthritis

Arthritis is a degenerative disease that causes inflammation and pain in the joints. Arthritis is the most common cause of shoulder pain, accounting for up to 80% of all cases. It can be treated with chiropractic adjustments and other rehabilitative techniques.
