Shoulder pain can be a debilitating issue that affects daily life activities. From reaching high up in the cupboard, to holding your baby, to enjoying your favorite sports activities. Chronic shoulder pain can really impact your quality of life.
Options to address shoulder pain are limited. Drugs, PT, home exercise, or surgery can be the only things offered to you. However, at Thrive Family Chiropractic we can offer a more comprehensive approach to your shoulder health and longevity.
There are 2 main joints that create the shoulder joint. The AC joint, which connects the scapula to the clavicle, and the GH (glenohumeral) joint that connects the humerus to the scapula. Being that the shoulder is the most mobile joint in our body, it can fall victim to mobility problems. Shoulder pain and dysfunction can be caused by numerous things, which is why a skilled chiropractor is your best advocate.
Common causes of shoulder problems:
- Nerve impingement in the neck
- Arthritis
- Muscle imbalances
- Poor posture
- Repetitive trauma
- Incorrect breathing
- Weakness
- Trauma
This is why we take a comprehensive approach to shoulder problems. We check the mobility of each joint, the muscles that attach to them, the nerve that innervates the shoulder, posture, breathing, muscle strengths and weaknesses, etc. We’ll then adjust the problem area and create stability so your shoulder can work better without pain. It is hugely beneficial to meet with a chiropractor before going down the path of pain medications, surgery, or chronic pain!
If you’re having a shoulder problem - no matter the cause, try our approach to building strong shoulder health!
