Shoulder Pain

DSM Core Chiropractic + Pain Therapy specializes in evaluating and treating a variety of shoulder pain conditions. The shoulder is a complex joint that involves the interaction of muscle, tendon, cartilage, nerves, fascia, and bone, and each of these components can contribute to pain and dysfunction. Our chiropractic office commonly treats shoulder pain conditions such as rotator cuff sprain/strain, rotator cuff tears, bursitis, separated shoulder (AC joint sprain/strain), frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), and tendonitis.

The most common symptoms of Shoulder Pain

  • Pain or discomfort in the shoulder joint or surrounding area.
  • Stiffness or reduced range of motion in the shoulder.
  • Swelling or bruising in the shoulder or upper arm.
  • Weakness or instability in the shoulder joint.
  • Pain that worsens with certain movements, such as reaching or lifting.
  • Numbness or tingling in the arm or hand.

Treatment of Shoulder Pain

Many cases of shoulder pain are related to issues with the rotator cuff muscles and labrum, which are essential for shoulder joint movement and stability. However, properly evaluating shoulder pain requires not only examining the joint itself but also the neck and upper back, as pain can radiate from the spine to the joint. Additionally, poor shoulder or spinal stability can also contribute to shoulder pain. Each case of shoulder pain is unique and requires individualized attention to effectively treat.

 

At DSM Core Chiropractic + Pain Therapy, we specialize in understanding the root cause of shoulder pain. Our clinic offers a range of services to evaluate and treat your shoulder pain, including hands-on myofascial release therapy to reduce muscle tightness and fascial restriction around the shoulder, chiropractic joint manipulation to restore lost range of motion and reduce pain around the spine and shoulder, and rehabilitation exercises to improve shoulder stability and biomechanics.
