Shoulder Pain

If you have suffered a shoulder injury and are looking for the kind of shoulder pain treatment that gets results, consider chiropractic care. At Back In Motion Chiropractic Sports & Auto Injury Center Center, we have provided residents of Beaverton, OR, with shoulder pain treatment options for many years. Read on to learn more about what causes shoulder pain and how we treat it. 

Some Common Shoulder Problems

We can help lessen and even eliminate shoulder pain and dysfunction that keeps you from enjoying life as you should. Some common shoulder problems include:

  • Strains
  • Dislocated shoulder
  • Tendonitis – Tendonitis and its cousin bursitis can often come on gradually and build until one day you wake up with shoulder pain. Tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendons, the thick cords that attach your muscles to bone.
  • Rotator cuff injury
  • Bursitis – A condition affecting small, fluid-filled sacs that cushions muscles, tendons, and bones near joints called the bursa. Bursitis is often caused by vigorous activity or repetitive motion and often becomes more severe with age. Activities that often lead to bursitis include pitching, throwing, golf, tennis, gardening, carpentry, and scrubbing.
  • Sprains
  • Frozen shoulder – a debilitating and painful condition that inhibits a good night’s sleep and can make simple everyday tasks like buttoning your shirt or brushing your teeth impossible. Left untreated, this condition can at times lead to an inability to use the affected shoulder for years.

Treatment that Works

If you are one of those people who wondered if chiropractic offers relief from shoulder pain, here are four ways it can.

Rotator Cuff Injuries

Surgery is often not necessary to treat a rotator cuff injury. Chiropractic soft-tissue therapy and manipulation helps to decrease muscle tension and release trigger points. Your chiropractor may also use electrical stimulation to reduce inflammation and therapeutic exercises to facilitate healing and stabilize the joint.

Bursitis

Chiropractic often uses a combination of soft-tissue therapy and exercise to reduce inflammation and pain along with breaking down scar tissue. We may also suggest the use of ice and herbal anti-inflammatories more quickly to reduce inflammation.

Frozen Shoulder

About 2% of all adults experience this debilitating condition, most often between the age of 40 and 60. Chiropractic massage therapy,  joint manipulation, and therapeutic exercise  provide effective methods of treatment for a frozen shoulder.

Shoulder Injuries/Tendonitis

Your chiropractor may request imaging tests, such as x-rays and/or MRI, and will perform a thorough examination to create a treatment plan designed especially for you. Herbal anti-inflammatories, chiropractic massage, ice therapy, and the use of a TENS device are often prescribed to treat tendonitis and other should injuries.
