Causes of Shoulder Pain

The shoulder is made up of bones, muscles, tendons, and joints. The shoulder is one of the larger joints in the body. This joint is designed to give you the maximum range of motion to complete needed movements and tasks. Large joints like this are often susceptible to injury and pain. The shoulder is used all day over and over. These repetitive movements can start to take a toll over time. If your occupation requires that you use your shoulders extensively, then you will be at more risk.

If there is damage or inflammation in any of the muscles, joints, or tendons, you will start to notice pain. This pain can be caused by repetitive motions, overuse, or a chronic condition such as arthritis. If you have been looking for a chiropractor near me, we can help.

Pain Relief Options

Traditional medicine often treats shoulder pain with pain medication. This may be a good solution for short term relief, but long-term you will want to avoid the use of harsh pain killers. These medications have harsh side effects and addictive properties. Our team can provide you with all-natural pain relief options, such as:

• Shoulder adjustments are very beneficial for relieving pain in the shoulder when the joints have become misaligned.
• Massage therapy is another treatment that could be useful if the muscles of the shoulder are tense and overused.
• Hot/cold therapy is often used to treat joint inflammation in the shoulder.
