Don’t Let Injuries Hold You Back
Melt those frozen shoulders. Restore mobility in your shoulders with comprehensive chiropractic care.
Shoulder Pain & Dysfunction
The shoulder joint allows for a wide range of motion for your arm. Unfortunately, most of that mobility comes at the cost of stability. Because of this, one of our most active joints is also very susceptible to injury. This musculature and joint system can undergo a lot of strain in your daily life, especially when heavy activity is a factor. It is common to strain, sprain, or damage this region of the body. In more severe cases of injury, such as tearing, serious rehabilitation may be required. If you are having chronic or severe shoulder pain, it is important to see a chiropractor for a proper assessment of your injury. Common shoulder injuries we treat include frozen shoulders, rotator cuff sprains & tears, tendonitis, and arthritis.
Frozen Shoulders
Frozen shoulder, also referred to as adhesive capsulitis, is a chronic stiffness in the joint. This can affect one or both shoulders at the same time. Symptoms include gradually worsening mobility and pain within the joint. It is not uncommon for it to follow a medical condition where you reduce the use of your arm, such as a stroke, mastectomy, or broken arm. Frozen shoulders generally are classified by three stages. During the Freezing stage, movement causes pain and your mobility also lessens. Next, the Frozen stage is where your shoulders will be at their stiffest, but the pain is duller. Lastly, during the Thawing stage, mobility returns and pain subsides.
While frozen shoulders are usually not permanent, they can take months or even years to recover from. Your chiropractor can help you reduce the pain you experience while helping increase your overall mobility of the joint. This can be extremely helpful for those who cannot afford to let a frozen shoulder limit them.
