Shoulder Pain

Here are some of the questions we will ask you to perform a proper shoulder pain diagnosis:

• Do you have pain when lifting your arm? This may tell us if you have rotator cuff pain.
• Is this shoulder blade pain or in the shoulder itself?
• Do you know if you have shoulder bursitis?
• Is this pain in your neck and shoulder or strictly in your shoulder?
• Have you ever had a shoulder dislocation?
• Do you experience shoulder pain at night?
• Have you had shoulder surgery?
• Is this severe shoulder pain?
• Are you experiencing the symptoms of a frozen shoulder?

We provide several treatment options for shoulder injuries. If your pain is severe and caused by a tear in the labrum or rotator cuff, perhaps platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections will provide an excellent alternative to shoulder or rotator cuff surgery. If your pain is from something less severe, perhaps a chiropractic adjustment or physical therapy may be the best option. You won’t know what treatment option is the best until you come to see us and let us help you.

Shoulder Pain Relief

Shoulder pain can be the result of many things such as sports-related injuries, exercise, a torn rotator, or simply due to degeneration as we grow older. Whatever your shoulder pain cause may be, getting quick and effective relief is the result you want.

When you experience shoulder pain, it can become quite limiting on your everyday activities and quality of life, making the need for pain relief a priority.

Shoulder pain symptoms are often due to the following types of injury:

• Strains or Sprains (this is most likely a result of overextension of your arm or overuse.)
• Tendonitis (the inflammation or irritation of the tendons around your shoulder)
• Bursitis (Fluid-filled sacs called bursae located in the shoulder joints burst, causing swelling)
• Rotator Cuff Injury (this may be sports-related, the result of a fall or physically intense work and occurs when the rotator cuff is torn or partially torn)
• Frozen Shoulder (occurs when the connective tissue in the shoulder becomes tight, making the movement of your arm difficult)
• Dislocated Shoulder (in other words, the arm bone has slipped out of the shoulder socket. This can be the result of twisting or heavy impact)
• Degeneration as a part of natural aging
