Shoulder and Arm Pain
Shoulder and Arm Pain Relief at Eagle Chiropractic
Shoulder and arm pain can greatly interfere with your ability to perform everyday tasks, affecting your mobility and comfort. At Eagle Chiropractic & Massage, we prioritize identifying the root causes of your shoulder and arm pain, whether they stem from poor posture, muscle strain, or injury.
5 Common Causes of Shoulder And Arm Pain
Rotator Cuff Injuries
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder. Injuries, such as strains or tears, can cause pain, weakness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder and arm. Chiropractic care can help with adjustments, stretches, and strengthening exercises to aid recovery.
Poor Posture
Slouching or prolonged poor posture can strain the muscles and joints of the shoulder and arm. This misalignment can lead to tension and discomfort, particularly in the upper back and shoulders. Chiropractic adjustments can realign the spine and improve posture, relieving associated pain.
Tendonitis
Inflammation of the tendons, often from repetitive motions or overuse, can cause pain in the shoulder and arm. Conditions like bicep tendonitis or shoulder tendonitis are common in athletes and people with physically demanding jobs. Treatment may include rest, adjustments, and targeted exercises to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Nerve Impingement
Nerve compression in the neck or shoulder area, such as from a herniated disc or cervical spine misalignment, can cause radiating pain down the arm. This condition may cause tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arm. Chiropractic adjustments and decompression therapy can relieve pressure on the nerves and improve symptoms.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
Frozen shoulder occurs when the connective tissue around the shoulder joint becomes stiff and inflamed, leading to pain and limited movement. It often develops after an injury or prolonged immobility. Chiropractic care, combined with physical therapy, can help restore movement and alleviate pain.
How Eagle Chiropractic Can Treat Shoulder and Arm Pain
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments are effective for treating shoulder and arm pain, especially when the pain is caused by misalignments in the spine or shoulder joints. At Eagle Chiropractic & Massage, we use precise adjustments to realign the spine and shoulder joints, reducing pressure on nerves and improving mobility. This approach not only alleviates pain but also restores function and prevents future injuries.
Cold Laser Therapy
Chiropractic Adjustments
At Eagle Chiropractic & Massage, we use advanced cold laser therapy to treat shoulder and arm pain caused by inflammation, tissue damage, or injury. The low-level laser light penetrates deep into the tissue, promoting healing by increasing circulation, reducing inflammation, and relieving pain. This non-invasive treatment accelerates recovery and helps reduce pain and stiffness in the shoulder and arm.
