Chiropractic Adjustments
Shoulder pain can be caused by a spinal misalignment, poor posture, balance and mobility issues, or repetitive stress. A chiropractic adjustment can realign the spine and relieve pressure on the nerves and muscles. During a chiropractic adjustment, your chiropractor will gently and slowly manipulate your muscles, tendons, ligaments, limbs, and spine. Chiropractic adjustments can also relieve tension and stress that might be causing headaches or migraines. As your spine shifts back into alignment and pressure is released, oxygen, blood, and nutrients can flow freely through your spine again. You can experience pain relief, reduced inflammation, release of tension and anxiety, and improved balance and flexibility.
Myofascial Release Therapy
Myofascial release therapy is a form of therapeutic massage. Its focus is to relieve pain and release tension in your myofascial tissues. The myofascial tissues are thick connective tissues that support your muscles. If you have shoulder pain due to muscle sprain or strain, myofascial release therapy can relieve pain, tension, and inflammation, and improve range of motion. If you have headaches or migraines due to stress, tension, and anxiety, myofascial release therapy can relieve tension, promote relaxation, and stimulate the production of natural pain-killing hormones called endorphins.
Lifestyle Modification & Rehabilitation
Your chiropractor can guide you through therapeutic exercises and stretches that strengthen the muscles that support your bones and spine. These stretches can ease shoulder pain and improve range of motion. He can also offer lifestyle modification counseling. This means he will recommend that you make changes at home or work to reduce pain and stress and promote healing. This might include making ergonomic adjustments to your workstation, getting more exercise, eating healthier, drinking more water, sleeping more, avoiding alcohol and nicotine, and living a healthier life overall.
