Shoulder Injuries

Shoulder injuries account for nearly 4.5 million medical visits each year in the United States.

About Shoulder Injuries

Shoulder injuries encompass a variety of conditions affecting the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints in the shoulder area. These injuries can range from acute trauma, such as a dislocation, to chronic conditions like rotator cuff tears or shoulder impingement syndrome.

 

Symptoms may include pain, swelling, stiffness, weakness, and limited range of motion, which can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life.

 

Chiropractic care and physiotherapy offer conservative, non-invasive approaches to managing shoulder injuries:

 

How Chiropractic Care Can Help :

  • Spinal and shoulder adjustments: We perform precise adjustments to realign the spine and shoulder joints, reducing stress on the affected tissues and promoting proper function.
  • Soft tissue therapy: We might recommend techniques such as massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy can help alleviate muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and enhance circulation, facilitating healing.
  • Rehabilitation exercises: We may prescribe specific exercises to strengthen the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint, improve stability, and enhance range of motion, promoting long-term recovery and preventing future injuries.

How Physiotherapy Can Help:

  • Exercise therapy: We design individualized exercise programs to restore strength, flexibility, and function in the shoulder, addressing muscular imbalances and promoting tissue healing.
  • Manual therapy: Hands-on techniques like joint mobilizations, soft tissue mobilization, and stretching can help reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and optimize biomechanics.
  • Modalities: Physiotherapy modalities such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and heat/cold therapy may be used to reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling, facilitating the healing process.

Both chiropractic care and physiotherapy focus on addressing the root causes of shoulder injuries, alleviating symptoms, restoring optimal function, and preventing recurrence. We offer holistic approaches that consider the entire musculoskeletal system and aim to promote overall health and well-being.
