Commonplace Causes of Shoulder Pain

The most conventional causes of shoulder pain include a plethora of injuries, conditions, and other factors. The cause can be an issue that is directly affecting the shoulder. The pain in one’s shoulder can also be caused by issues in other locations within the body that radiates to the shoulder, also known as referred pain.

The causes of shoulder pain include conditions and injuries such as:

  • Inflammatory conditions such as rheumatism and/or arthritis
  • Shoulder Bursae – inflammation of the bursa (a small sac of fluid for cushion)
  • Strains – overstretching/tearing of the tendon/muscle
  • Adhesive Capsulitis – aka Frozen Shoulder – causes severe pain and stiffness
  • Rotator Cuff Injury
  • A traumatic injury like those incurred in sport, vehicular, or other accidents
  • Shoulder joint dislocation
  • Sprains – violent twisting/wrenching of ligaments in a joint resulting in inflammation, pain, and loss of mobility
  • Tendinitis – inflammation of the tendons in the shoulder from overuse, rheumatic disease, and/or infection
  • Tumors – exceedingly rare but possible

How Our Chiropractor Can Help

With treatment by a well-trained caring chiropractor like Dr. Justin D. Casey at BC Family Chiropractic, many of the causes of shoulder pain – and thus the pain itself – can be eradicated. Before any treatment can begin Dr. Casey and the staff here will collect vital information that will assist with diagnosis. We will then develop a personalized treatment plan that takes your unique situation into consideration.

To do this, we will gather the needed info via:

  • An oral medical, familial, and social history
  • A physical exam of the shoulder and the tissues surrounding it
  • A neurological examination to establish a basic understanding of nerve function
  • Optional imaging tests such as x-rays, MRIs, CAT scans, etc.

Chiropractic Shoulder Pain Treatments

Dr. Casey has over 150 proven chiropractic techniques available to use for treatment. We will determine which of these techniques will help your shoulder by reducing stiffness, inflammation, and pain. The end goal is to restore the structures of your shoulder to optimal health and function.

To achieve this objective, we may use methods such as:

  • Manual spinal manipulation
  • Nervous system subluxation
  • Therapeutic massage
  • Active Release Technique
  • Trigger Point therapy
  • Spinal decompression
