Shoulder Pain and Chiropractic Care

You use your shoulders daily, but the truth is that you may not realize exactly how often you use your shoulder until you experience a serious injury. Every time you reach for something, you may feel that tinge of pain in your shoulder, and it can seriously impact your daily life. Dr. Rod Merritt provides chiropractic care for residents in and around Columbus and Hilliard. If you are experiencing shoulder pain and are considering chiropractic care, contact our team today to find the relief you need.

Who Needs Shoulder Pain Treatment?

How do you know that you may need shoulder treatment? There are a few signs that chiropractic care might be right for you, including persistent shoulder pain, difficulty carrying objects, and difficulty raising your arms. You may also consider treatment if you have a history of shoulder pain.

Spinal Alignment

Aligning your spine and extremities can reduce shoulder pain and improve your flexibility. A lot of shoulder pain involves a misalignment in your scapula and clavicle. Our chiropractor is trained to detect and treat these issues.

Myofascial Release

If you hold a lot of tension in your shoulders, myofascial release can provide a release. Dr. Merritt will work the fascia covering your muscles to provide tension release.

Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound treatment is used to reduce inflammation and increase blood flow to a specific area. This can speed up healing for soft tissue injuries, including sprains and strains.

Graston Technique

The Graston technique uses instruments to help break up scar tissue. This improves flexibility and allows you to move your shoulder without pain, especially after a significant injury.

Corrective Exercises

If you are undergoing treatment, you may consider combining it with rehabilitation. Corrective exercises can improve your strength without worsening your pain. You will also learn stretches you can use to improve your range of motion safely.

E-Stim

E-stim is a technique that uses electronic stimulation of the nerves to relieve pain. It is a great form of muscle therapy and allows for tension release. This is a non-invasive and pain-free technique that helps you heal more quickly.
