Common Questions About Shoulder Pain Relief

Chiropractic Care can help with neck pain and back pain, but it can also provide relief when it comes to shoulder pain. At Aloha Wellness in San Antonio, TX, we provide treatment that is meant to alleviate any discomfort that you may be enduring. Before visiting us, learn about some of the most commonly asked questions about shoulder pain below:

What causes shoulder pain?

Shoulder pain can result from a rotator cuff injury, muscle injuries in the shoulder, misalignments of the shoulder joint or misalignments of the cervical spine. The cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae that are located in the spinal column of the neck. These protect the nerves that flow from the spine to the shoulders and arms.

When you injure the muscles in your neck, the spinal nerves can become inflamed. They can cause swelling and pinching of the nerves to your shoulders and arms. This can ultimately result in chronic shoulder pain, numbness, and tingling.

What is a rotator cuff injury?

You may recognize that you have a rotator cuff injury if you are unable to move your shoulder in a circle. You may also experience intense pain or find it impossible to move your arm to the side or straight ahead of you. In addition, your nerves may be pinched or inflamed and resulting in a limited range of motion.

What can our chiropractor do about shoulder pain?

When you first visit us for shoulder pain, our chiropractor will first examine your spine and shoulders in order to diagnose what is causing the discomfort. Then, we can implement techniques that treat the nerves, muscles and bones so that your body is back in alignment and you achieve lasting relief. These results are also achieved with natural chiropractic therapies without the need for any medication.
