Common Shoulder Injuries and Conditions
The shoulder, with its wide range of motion, is susceptible to a variety of injuries and conditions. Here are some of the most common ones we have successfully treated:
- Rotator Cuff Injuries: Resulting from torn tendons, often due to repetitive motion or trauma.
- Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): A condition where the shoulder joint becomes stiff and loses its range of motion.
- Shoulder Impingement: Occurs when the top of the shoulder blade exerts pressure on the underlying soft tissues when the arm is lifted.
- Arthritis: Osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can affect the shoulder, leading to pain and limited mobility.
- Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons, usually due to overuse.
Identifying the specific injury or condition causing your shoulder pain is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan. Whether you’re dealing with a rotator cuff tear, frozen shoulder, or any other shoulder ailment, we are here to help.
Treating Shoulder Pain With a Holistic Approach
Chiropractic care offers an effective approach to alleviating shoulder pain by addressing its root causes and promoting overall joint health. Our chiropractors start with a comprehensive evaluation, identifying the specific source of your shoulder discomfort. Then, through spinal adjustments, they can realign the spine, which reduces nerve pressure, and enhances shoulder function.
Chiropractic care not only manages pain but also focuses on long-term solutions, educating patients on posture, ergonomics, and exercises to prevent future shoulder issues. If you’re seeking a non-surgical, holistic approach to shoulder pain relief, our chiropractic care can help you regain mobility, reduce discomfort, and reclaim your active lifestyle.
Here are some additional treatments and therapies that we offer at our clinic to complement our chiropractic treatments:
- Acupuncture: Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves the insertion of thin needles at specific points on the body to promote natural healing and improve the flow of energy, known as Qi. It can be effective for managing pain, reducing stress, and improving overall well-being.
- Acupressure: Acupressure is a non-invasive therapy that involves applying pressure to specific acupuncture points to stimulate healing and relieve various ailments, including pain, tension, and stress. It can be used as a standalone therapy or in conjunction with other treatments.
- Cupping: Cupping therapy involves placing cups on the skin to create a vacuum effect, which can help improve blood circulation, reduce muscle tension, and alleviate pain. It is commonly used for musculoskeletal issues and respiratory conditions.
- Moxibustion: Moxibustion is a heat therapy that involves burning a dried herb called mugwort (moxa) near specific acupuncture points. It is believed to stimulate circulation, alleviate pain, and promote healing. Moxibustion can be particularly useful for conditions related to cold or stagnant energy in the body.
Advanced Treatments for Shoulder Injuries or Conditions
If you are experiencing more severe or chronic shoulder pain that has not responded to conventional treatments, or if you’re exploring non-surgical alternatives to address your shoulder condition, our advanced regenerative medicine treatments may offer the relief and recovery you’ve been seeking.
Human Cellular Tissue Therapy:
Human Cellular Tissue Therapy, also known as regenerative cell therapy, harnesses the power of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from donated umbilical cord tissue. These MSCs are remarkable because they have the potential to differentiate into various cell types, including those in the musculoskeletal system.
When introduced to the injured shoulder, MSCs can stimulate tissue repair. It also reduces inflammation, and promote the body’s natural healing processes. This therapy offers an innovative and minimally invasive approach for treating shoulder injuries and conditions. It potentially reduces the need for surgery and accelerating recovery times.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy:
PRP Therapy is another regenerative medicine treatment that utilizes the patient’s own blood.
A small sample of blood is processed to concentrate platelets, growth factors, and other healing components. The resulting PRP solution is then injected directly into the injured or painful area of the shoulder.
PRP has the ability to stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote collagen production.
It is particularly effective for conditions like rotator cuff tears, tendonitis, and arthritis. PRP Therapy is a safe and natural approach. It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments to enhance the healing process.
Shoulder pain, whether fleeting or chronic, can considerably hinder one’s quality of life. But with expert care, comprehensive treatment, and a genuine commitment to your well-being, it can be addressed effectively.
