A Multidisciplinary Approach to Shoulder Pain
If you’re experiencing shoulder pain, it could be for several reasons.
Since shoulder pain could be caused by a few different reasons, it is important to utilize a multidisciplinary approach to help solve your shoulder pain, including chiropractic care.
Determine Where the Pain Is
Shoulders are complicated. Your shoulder is made up of your humerous, the long bone in the upper arm, that fits into a socket, and the clavicle commonly called the collarbone, which creates a joint with the scapula, or shoulder blade. All these parts in one small space makes the shoulder the most complex joint in the body.
Underneath all the bones there are thousands of different nerves that make up your brachial plexus and wow—as you can see, there’s a lot going on in your shoulders.
Determining where your pain is, can help determine if your injury is, in fact, a rotator cuff injury or a nerve injury. Certain areas of pain can indicate disease, dislocation, and other musculoskeletal problems.
How Can Chiropractic Care Treat Your Shoulder Pain?
Once your pain is determined, chiropractors can work with physical therapists and other professionals to put together a shoulder pain treatment plan.
In many cases, shoulder injury treatment plans are implemented to heal rotator cuff injuries. Rotator cuffs allow you to move your arm. Professionals, including chiropractors, implement holistic remedies, dry needling, therapeutic massages, compress tape, and other rehabilitation methods.
Some treatment plans, depending on the pain, include electrotherapy partnered with exercise programs to strengthen muscles and relieve nerve impingement.
Each of these treatment remedies will be implemented based on a custom care plan. Everyone is different, so although you have a common rotator cuff injury, you might not respond to dry needling as well as electrotherapy. Your team of professionals, including chiropractors, will implement a custom care plan to get you feeling better faster.
