Common Reasons For Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain has many causes, most of which are readily treatable with chiropractic care. Our chiropractic services constantly include shoulder treatment and adjustments that accelerate the healing process and amount of time you spend mending your shoulder. The following are several commonly shoulder ailments, injuries, and other conditions that we treat at Brainard Chiropractic in Fremont.
Dislocated Shoulder
This occurs when the bone in the upper arm separates from the shoulder socket into which it fits. A dislocation might be so serious that you need immediate medical attention from your medical doctor. Other times the dislocation often is partial and simply needs chiropractor care to help align the socket and arm bone for proper rotation and reduced pain.
Shoulder Bursae
This refers to the fluid-filled sacs surrounding the shoulder joint. When those sacs become irritated and inflamed, they can become very sore and painful, resulting in a condition called bursitis.
Frozen Shoulder
The tissues in your shoulder might suffer relatively minor injuries over the years. The injury can result in thicker and stiffer scar tissue developing that greatly reduces the room for the shoulder to rotate. The resulting stiffness and pain can ease with care from your chiropractor.
Rotator Cuff Injury
A grouping of tendons and muscles surrounding each shoulder joints keeps everything in its proper place and working well. An injury can cause the arm to send painful jolts throughout the afflicted shoulder when those tendons and muscles suffer injuries.
Strains & Sprains
Almost everyone suffers a shoulder strain or sprain that can cause extreme discomfort and related back pain. Your chiropractor can help those injuries heal faster with a non-invasive treatment that alleviates pain and increases the mobility in your shoulder.
Tendinitis
A more specific strain that occurs at least once with many people is tendinitis. When you overuse or injure a tendon in your shoulder the resulting tendinitis weakens it while creating an extremely painful condition. That pain greatly affects your ability to use your shoulder and its range of motion.
