When you feel irritated or in pain it’s likely that your whole demeanour deteriorates. You can’t think straight, every few seconds you think of the pain or irritation you’re feeling, you become snappy and unhappy, and you end up taking painkillers to simply try and get rid of it.
Does this sound like a familiar pattern to you?
If the pain you’re suffering from is coming from your shoulder then you will be all too aware of how painful and uncomfortable this can be. Out of all the problems chiropractors deal with on a day to day basis, shoulder pain is the most common complaint. That tells you a lot about how wide-spread this problem is, and the sad fact is that most of it could be prevented by a few simple changes to our daily lives.
Incorrect posture, slouching, not sitting correctly at a computer workstation, carrying too heavy bags – these are all common factors which can and do lead to shoulder pain and injury. Arthritis is another issue which can affect the shoulder joints, causing discomfort and irritating pain, as well as frozen shoulder, bursitis, rotator cuff injury, and even dislocation from a sudden jolting injury. Sometimes the pain isn’t actually caused by the shoulder, and individuals can experience what is called referred pain; this is pain from another part of the upper back or neck, which presents itself into the shoulders.
How can chiropractic help shoulder pain?
Chiropractic has been used for years in the relief of shoulder pain, and the first step is always a proper examination and diagnosis of the cause of the pain. If chiropractic is identified to be suitable for the individual, then a series of manual adjustments to the spine and surrounding area are carried out. The nerves along the spine are also assessed to ensure there are no trapped nerves, which is a common and very painful problem, or compressions or pinching of nerves. The joints are also manipulated to free them up, and then advice is given on exercises to continue at home, to keep the area free and to allow the beneficial effects of chiropractic to take hold.
Shoulder pain can present as a sudden onset, or it can be an ongoing problem which someone has lived with for a while, but is now wanting to find out the cause and learn to either mange it, or rid themselves of it completely. This is where chiropractic can help.
If you have experienced pain in the shoulder which has lasted for longer than a few days without improvement, which may or may not also be accompanied by problems with movement, restricted or unable to move, swelling, or pain which goes away but then comes back, then you should seek help in order to rectify the problem.
