Shoulder Pain or Rotator Cuff Issues?

Chiropractic Care Could Be Your Solution

Shoulder pain can be a real showstopper when it comes to life’s little pleasures. Reaching for a coffee mug, putting on a jacket, or even sleeping comfortably can become frustratingly uncomfortable challenges. If you’re battling shoulder pain, especially due to rotator cuff dysfunction, relief is closer than you think. Here at Riverside Chiropractic Health Center, we’re committed to helping you get back to your best.

What Causes Shoulder Pain?

Your shoulder is an incredible joint in that it is highly mobile but also highly susceptible to wear and tear. The heart of this mobility involves the rotator cuff, a cluster of muscles and tendons that not only stabilize your shoulder but also move it. When these vital structures are put under stress or injury, significant discomfort and limitation of movement may result.

Here are some of the more common causes of shoulder pain:

  • Tendinitis: Repeated motions can be inflamed in the tendons, leading to chronic pain.
  • Tears: These can be due to sudden injuries or gradual wear and tear.
  • Impingement: This includes when the tendons catch in the joint.
  • Bursitis: An inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs called bursae that cushion your shoulder.

Symptoms can range from a dull ache and nagging pain to sharp pain, weakness, or an inability to lift your arm comfortably. If this sounds too familiar, it’s time to take action-because rarely does shoulder pain resolve on its own.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Chiropractic care is a safe, conservative way to address the source of shoulder pain. At Riverside Chiropractic Health Center, we strive to address the root cause of your pain-not just mask the symptoms.

Restoring Alignment of the Joints

Misalignment of the shoulder or spine can put additional stress on the rotator cuff. Gentle chiropractic adjustments help realign these areas, easing pain and improving range of motion.

Releasing Tension

Shoulder muscles can end up overworking due to dysfunction, leading to tension and stiffness. Soft tissue therapies release tension, improve circulation, and help restore natural movement.

Strengthening and Stabilizing

We will take you through a series of exercises targeting the strengthening of the rotator cuff muscles and surrounding muscles. Such an approach will ensure better stability with reduced risks of re-injury.

Supporting Long-Term Recovery

From improved posture to minor lifestyle changes, we will be able to assist in laying a foundation for long-lasting relief.
