Common Causes and Symptoms of Shoulder Pain

When a patient comes in complaining of shoulder pain, the first step we'll want to take is to determine the cause. Only then can we figure out the most effective course of treatment for a patient's specific needs and lifestyle. There are many common causes of shoulder pain, ranging from impact injuries (such as those caused in an auto accident) to more gradual injuries that can occur as a result of playing a sport or improper form while lifting. In some cases, an underlying medical condition, such as arthritis, can also lead to shoulder pain.

Those who suffer from shoulder pain may find that the pain comes and goes, or that the pain itself is very sharp and localized. In some cases, the pain may radiate from the shoulder to other areas along the spine, including the lower back. Specific symptoms will vary from one person to the next depending on the cause, but it's always a good idea to seek medical attention for shoulder pain that does not go away in a day or two, or pain that is affecting your daily life.

Shoulder Treatment From Our Birmingham Chiropractic Team

If you are suffering from shoulder pain, the good news is that our chiropractor offers shoulder treatment without the use of prescription painkillers or risky, invasive procedures. Chiropractic care is completely holistic and focuses on treating pain at the source. One of the more common chiropractic treatments we will recommend for our shoulder pain patients is that of spinal adjustment, which is especially effective in treating pain that stems from alignment problems in the back. This treatment is performed manually by our chiropractor and is ideal for correcting alignment and helping to treat pain.

In addition to adjustments, we also offer:

• massage therapy
• corrective and rehabilitative exercises
• nutritional support

In some cases, shoulder pain may also be aggravated by lifestyle choices and posture problems. in these cases, we may be able to offer lifestyle guidance to help you find relief from shoulder pain.
