Shoulder Pain: How Chiropractic Adjustments Can Help!
Natural Shoulder Pain Relief at Elevation Chiropractic in Ankeny, Iowa
Your shoulder and collarbone are the main structures connecting your arm to your spine, which makes your shoulder incredibly important for everyday movement. It also means this joint is vulnerable to pain and injury. Shoulder pain is something many adults deal with, whether from sports, repetitive motion, posture issues, or the aging process. And when your shoulder hurts, it can affect everything from lifting groceries to playing with your kids.
The good news is, you don’t have to rely on medications or invasive procedures to feel better. Chiropractic care at Elevation Chiropractic offers a gentle, effective solution to help ease shoulder pain and restore healthy movement.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
Rotator cuff injuries:
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that help keep your shoulder stable. Strain or injury (often affecting the supraspinatus muscle) can cause weakness, pain, and difficulty lifting your arm. Because these muscles are controlled by nerves in your neck, chiropractic adjustments can often help relieve symptoms.Frozen shoulder:
Also known as adhesive capsulitis, this condition leads to stiffness and pain that can gradually limit your shoulder’s range of motion. It often develops after an injury or in individuals with certain health conditions.Shoulder impingement:
This happens when tendons get pinched or irritated as you lift your arm, leading to pain and reduced mobility.Arthritis:
Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can cause the shoulder joint to become inflamed and stiff. Gentle adjustments can help promote healthier and proper movement.Bursitis:
The bursae are small sacs that cushion your joints. When inflamed, they can cause pain and swelling. Misalignment may contribute to this irritation, and adjustments can help relieve the pressure.
