Shoulder Pain
Shoulders are a complicated joint in the body, and pain in the area can be caused by from the muscles, ligaments, posture and neck alignment. We do a thorough assessment of the region to identify the cause of the symptoms and treat that directly to get lasting results.
Overview of shoulder pain
Shoulder pain can occur in either arm and can cause limited motion, loss of strength, pain, pins and needles that go down the arm or up to the neck. Repetitive stresses to the joint and the muscles can cause dysfunction and impact the nerves. As chiropractors, we are trained to assess the shoulder and discuss with you the presenting condition and the treatment to get you out of pain and moving again.
