How Chiropractic Can Help

Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, drug-free approach to treating shoulder pain. Chiropractors focus on correcting misalignments in the spine and other joints, which can help to reduce inflammation, improve nerve function, and relieve pain.

Chiropractic treatments for shoulder pain typically involve spinal adjustments, which are gentle manipulations of the spine to help restore proper alignment. Chiropractors may also use other therapies, such as massage, heat therapy, and cold therapy, to help relieve pain and inflammation.

Research has shown that chiropractic care can be effective in treating shoulder pain. A 2017 study published in the journal Pain Medicine found that chiropractic care was more effective than medication in reducing pain and improving function in people with rotator cuff tears. Another study, published in the journal Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, found that chiropractic care was effective in reducing pain and improving function in people with frozen shoulder.

The benefits of chiropractic care for shoulder pain:

• Reduces pain and inflammation

• Improves range of motion

• Reduces muscle tension

• Improves nerve function

• Promotes faster healing

• Reduces the risk of future shoulder pain episodes

If you are experiencing shoulder pain, chiropractic care may be a good option for you. Chiropractors can help to identify the root cause of your shoulder pain and develop a personalised treatment plan to help you relieve pain and improve function.
