Chiropractic Care to Help with Shoulder Pain

Whether you are experiencing shoulder pain from a recent auto accident, workplace injury, or if your shoulder simply hurts from years of repetitive stress there are a lot of things our chiropractor can do to help. Pain relief is certainly possible, but it's also possible to increase your range of motion and improve your strength. We at Spine Paine Center in Mount Pleasant, SC, know a lot about chiropractic care and shoulder pain.

Our Chiropractor and Shoulder Pain

With shoulder pain, the issue is often that muscles have become inflamed or that they have moved out of place, in many cases both. Those muscles become swollen and put pressure on the nerves that lead from the shoulder area to the spine. The brain receives pain signals from those nerves, putting your shoulder in pain.

Our chiropractor can move the muscles of the shoulder so that the pressure on the nerves is alleviated. As this occurs, the muscles may return to the places they should be. Eventually, this may lead to a reduction in inflammation.

From the patient's point of view, the first chiropractic session will almost always bring some immediate pain relief. As time passes from the end of the first session, however, the muscles will naturally try to return to the positions that they were in, and the pain will start to come back. Therefore, it's generally a good idea to plan several appointments close together at the beginning of treatment. Our chiropractor can continue to help move the muscles back to their correct position until they are trained to stay where they should be. This may lead to longer lasting pain relief.
