An Overview of Shoulder Pain from Life Force Chiropractic

The shoulder is one of the most important joints in the body. It provides strength and support to the entirety of the upper limb, allowing people to engage in numerous critical activities in their daily lives. For this reason, problems related to the shoulder can seriously impact someone's overall quality of life. At Life Force Chiropractic, it is our job to make sure that we address shoulder pain in our patients in a comprehensive manner. We are dedicated to serving the people of the Millersville and Glen Burnie area, providing them with access to a highly trained chiropractor.

What are the Common Causes of Shoulder Pain?

At Life Force Chiropractic, there are a few common causes of pain in the shoulder that we see. Some of the most common culprits include:

Arthritis: This is a chronic inflammatory condition that eats away at the cartilage throughout the shoulder joint. Without this cartilaginous lining, the surfaces of the bones rub up against each other. This leads to erosion of the bony surface, causing shoulder pain.

Frozen Shoulder:  Also called adhesive capsulitis, this condition develops when adhesions form between the bone and the capsule that protects it. These adhesions impair someone's shoulder mobility, making it hard to lift the arm and rotate the joint.

Rotator Cuff Injuries: This is a very common injury that is seen in athletes, particularly pitchers. If someone develops a rotator cuff injury, this may lead to weakness in the arm.

How can a Chiropractor Help with Shoulder Pain?

If someone comes to see us at Life Force Chiropractic, we are going to take a unique approach to shoulder pain. We are going to try to find the root cause of the discomfort. Then, we are going to aim our treatment plans at eliminating that root cause to prevent the pain from coming back. We might use physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, manipulations, and even massage therapy to strengthen the shoulder joint, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. In this manner, we want to restore function to someone's shoulder joint and also provide an effective treatment option for chronic shoulder pain.
