3 Reasons to see a Chiropractor for Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can be more than just a minor inconvenience – it can affect your daily life in profound ways, from limiting your range of motion to impacting your ability to perform everyday tasks. If you're struggling with persistent shoulder discomfort, seeing a chiropractor might offer the relief you need. Here are three powerful reasons to consider chiropractic care:

  1. Cervical Facet Joint Referral: Did you know that your shoulder pain may originate from your neck? The posterior joints of the spine, facet joints, radiate pain to several areas of the shoulder. Dysfunction in the cervical facet joints can also cause surrounding muscles to become tense or spasm. This tension can contribute to pain and discomfort in that area, further altering how your shoulder moves and functions. Chiropractic adjustments target these cervical facet joints and when paired with corrective exercises may be the solution to your stubborn shoulder pain. 

2. Ribcage Dynamics: Your shoulder movement is closely linked to your ribcage's health. The ribcage, and thoracic spine, serves as the foundation for the shoulder blade to move across.  When working with one of our providers they will examine your shoulder, neck, and ribcage to see how they can improve the flexibility and position of your ribcage, ensuring smooth shoulder function and reducing pain.   

3. Corrective Exercise: Our providers don’t just treat the symptoms – they provide personalized corrective exercises to restore proper movement patterns, alleviate shoulder pain, and enhance your overall well-being. By targeting multiple systems like; neck and upper back movement, ribcage dynamics, breathing patterns, and shoulder strength we can tackle your stubborn shoulder pain together. Build a resilient body with exercises tailored just for you! 

In conclusion, shoulder pain can significantly impact your quality of life, but understanding its root causes and addressing them through chiropractic care can make a remarkable difference. By targeting cervical facet joint dysfunction, improving ribcage dynamics, and incorporating personalized corrective exercises, chiropractic treatment offers a holistic approach to alleviating shoulder discomfort. If you're tired of living with persistent shoulder pain, consider consulting with a chiropractor to explore these effective strategies for relief and long-term wellness. Don't let shoulder pain hold you back – take the first step towards your physical freedom and schedule your discovery session today!
