Find Out How A Short Pump, VA Chiropractor Helps Shoulder Pain Naturally

By Roxie Ocegueda


The licensed doctors at a Short Pump VA chiropractic clinic would like to help you to relieve your shoulder pain naturally and without drugs.

They utilize an adjustment technique known as Straight Chiropractic or DT (Diversified Technique). This technique uses a precisely placed, quick manual low-force thrust to return your affected joint or spine back to its correct alignment and mobility. They may also employ an activator tool and drop table to provide greater effectiveness and precision.

There are tissues, nerves, bursa and tendons that surround the shoulder joint and that may be causing pain due to irritation. The muscle and bone are connected via tendons and there are four tendons that affect the shoulder's rotator cuff. It is possible for these tendons to become stretched out and ripped, and this is often the cause of shoulder pain. When pain is referred from the neck, this can result in knotted muscles as well.

A Short Pump VA chiropractic doctor will perform an initial exam to determine the range of motion for your shoulders and neck. This exam will also be used to determine whether the shoulder is misaligned and causing problems like muscle spasms, pain and inflammation. Once the source of the shoulder pain has been identified, these professionals will perform light adjustments to the shoulder by gently shifting it back or forwards, according to your symptoms and condition.

You can get relief from a Short Pump VA chiropractor given that this professional will remove subluxations (areas in which two or more vertebrae are no longer functioning optimally). Subluxations may be the cause of decreases in your mobility, your pain, discomfort and other symptoms. The good news is that these are all things that can be alleviated as the result of routine, chiropractic therapy.

Beyond merely resolving the pain in your shoulder, a short Pump VA chiropractor can additionally relieve migraines, recurring headaches, pain the lower and middle back, bulging discs, sciatica, disc herniation, degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, carpal tunnel disease, ear infections, asthma, and colic.

A chiropractor will advise you on ways to improve your posture and adjust work ergonomics to help your realigned and pain free shoulders to remain that way. There are also some simple but effective shoulder exercises that can be performed that will help to strengthen your rotator muscles.
