Causes of Shoulder Pain
You may experience soreness in the shoulder joint if you’ve been in a car accident or sustained an injury while playing sports. Repetitive movements, such as raising your arm, can also lead to injuries. Other common causes of shoulder pain include:
- Osteoarthritis
- Tendinitis
- Bursitis
- Rotator cuff tears
- Impingement
Your shoulder joint has a lot of muscles, ligaments, and tendons that can tear or sustain other damage. Acute injuries or chronic ones from wear and tear can trigger pain and other symptoms.
Recognizing the Symptoms
Those with shoulder pain may experience various symptoms. Some of these symptoms include:
- Dull aches that are persistent
- Burning or sharp pain that worsens with certain arm movements
- Limited flexibility when lifting your arm
- Pain that gets worse in the evening or at night
Diagnosis
When you visit us, we will discuss your symptoms with you, examine your shoulder, and ask you to move it a variety of ways. Our chiropractors may also order imaging tests, such as X-rays, to gain a clearer understanding of your condition.
Treatment for Shoulder Pain
Chiropractic care can be highly beneficial for shoulder pain. We often use chiropractic adjustments to realign the joint and reduce tension in the surrounding muscles, which relieves pain and improves mobility. In addition to adjustments, we may recommend massage therapy, physical therapy, and nutritional counseling to support your recovery.
