What is causing my shoulder pain?

Shoulder pain is often caused by an overuse injury, auto accident injury, sports injury, dislocation, misalignment, frozen shoulder, strains, and conditions like osteoarthritis. Even factors like poor posture and being overweight can cause shoulder pain. It is important to note that not all shoulder pain starts in the shoulder. Issues in the neck and back can also impact the shoulder.

What can I do about my shoulder pain?

Addressing shoulder pain effectively means understanding what’s causing it. Resting your shoulder and using heat and ice can often alleviate the pain – at least for a time. If the pain hasn’t gone away within a few days, you will need to visit a chiropractor. If the pain appears after an auto accident injury or sports injury, don’t wait to see if it goes away. The sooner you visit a chiropractor, the faster the issue can be addressed.

Can a chiropractor help with shoulder pain treatment?

Chiropractors are skilled at addressing neuromusculoskeletal issues throughout the entire body. This means that whether your shoulder pain comes from an issue inside of the shoulder or another area, your chiropractor has techniques to address it. These techniques include adjustments, soft tissue therapy, therapeutic exercises, lifestyle adjustments, and more.

What are overuse injuries?

Shoulder overuse injuries are about more than simply working your arms too much. These injuries occur when the soft tissues develop tiny tears due to repetitive motion and these tears occur faster than the body’s natural healing processes can repair the tissues. Most people experience overuse injuries due to physically demanding jobs and sports that revolve swinging your arms, such as baseball and golf.
