Shoulder Pain Treatment from a Chiropractor near You

Shoulder pain can prevent you from participating in the hobbies you enjoy and affect your quality of life. At PS Chiropractic in Pickens, SC, we provide a variety of treatments to reduce your discomfort and improve your overall health. Before you visit us, learn about some causes of shoulder pain below:

Causes of Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can be caused by various factors. For example, the discomfort could be due to rotator cuff tendinitis from shoulder joint and rotator cuff muscle overuse. Lifting heavy objects, repetitive overhead motions, and sports like swimming, tennis, and baseball can all lead to tendinitis.

Another common cause of the pain is a pinched nerve in the neck or upper back. Nerves that pass through your neck down into your shoulder can get irritated or compressed, resulting in radiating pain. Poor posture and spinal health can often contribute to pinched nerves.

Additionally, frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, can result in shoulder pain. This condition occurs when the connective tissue around the shoulder joint becomes stiff, making movement difficult and painful. The exact cause of frozen shoulder is unknown, but may involve injury, overuse, or other medical conditions.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Our chiropractor uses hands-on techniques and adjustments to treat shoulder pain and address underlying causes like poor posture, joint dysfunction, and compressed nerves. Some methods we may recommend include:

• Chiropractic adjustments to properly align your spine and shoulder joint. Gentle movements and manipulations reduce pain and restore proper shoulder function.
• Stretching and soft tissue work to loosen tight muscles that may be contributing to shoulder pain and limited mobility.
• Advice on ergonomics, posture, and lifestyle changes to prevent further shoulder damage. We chiropractor can recommend some adjustments you can make to your daily routine to reduce the strain on your shoulders.
