Shoulder Pain Treatment: Why Blend Chiropractic and Physical Therapy?

Written By ChiroConcepts of McKinney on August 11, 2020

rsz shoulderpainWhen you visit a chiropractor for shoulder pain treatment, you might only receive chiropractic adjustments. 

At ChiroConcepts McKinney, we believe in a multi-tiered approach to painful conditions. To treat your shoulder pain, we would create a treatment plan that likely includes a blend of chiropractic and physical therapy treatments. 

Why is this approach optimal?

Shoulder Pain Treatment: Why a Multi-Tiered Approach is Best

Alone, chiropractic treatment can improve your shoulder pain. Correcting spinal misalignment can take the pressure off your muscles, joints, and ligaments, thereby reducing your pain. 

However, using this type of treatment along with physical therapy can promote faster healing. It can also promote the overall health of your body and reduce long-term damage.

Why Physical Therapy is Essential

When you visit your McKinney chiropractic office, you’ll first have a consultation and physical evaluation. At this appointment, your healthcare provider will evaluate:

  • How well you move, reach, grab things, and bend
  • If you can easily climb stairs and walk and whether it’s painful to do so 
  • Your level of balance and your posture

Once you’ve had your chiropractic adjustment, your physical therapist will provide you with and help you perform exercises that will: 

  • Strengthen your muscles  
  • Promote healing
  • Improve flexibility
  • Increase range of motion
  • Enhance mobility

Gaining strength and mobility will help reduce your shoulder pain and allow you to move with relative ease (depending on the extent of your injury and damage sustained over time).

Taking All of Your Needs into Consideration

Dr. Tyler Rottinghaus is committed to providing you with the best chiropractic care in McKinney. To that end, he’ll evaluate all your needs, strengths, limitations, and overall health. He’ll take the time to get to the root cause of your shoulder pain. 

Your custom shoulder pain treatment plan can include physical therapy and chiropractic, as well as spinal decompression if there are nerve impingement issues. 

Your chiropractic team is always going to put your needs first and find the treatment plan that will not only help you get out of pain fast but also help you get stronger and healthier in the process.
