What Are the Causes of Shoulder Pain?

There are many causes of shoulder pain. The treatment that you need depends on the root cause of the problem. To offer you the best care, Dr. Al Simeone will diagnose the cause and provide a personalized plan to correct the cause of your shoulder pain.

There are many causes and types of shoulder pain:

Rotator Cuff Issues

The rotator cuff is a set of four muscles that stabilize the shoulder joint. If any of these muscles are injured or tear, through overuse or trauma, it will limit your range of motion and strength. The muscles become weak, tight or overstretched causing painful muscle spasms. Occasionally surgery is necessary when the muscles are torn or severely damaged. Dr. Al can usually help the healing process with a combination of chiropractic care, soft tissue therapy and therapeutic exercises.

Frozen Shoulder

If you ignore a shoulder issue, it will eventually become stiff, stuck and painful to the point you cannot even lift your arm. When this happens, everything is harder to do in life. Cortisone injections and physical therapy can be used to treat this problem but they don’t always work. That is where chiropractic and soft tissue therapy comes in. For many people, this combination is the key to long-lasting improvement in rage of motion and pain relief.

Pinched Nerves

Nerves that exit the upper back and neck travel to the shoulder. If you have a subluxation, bulged or herniated disc, these nerves can become pinched. This usually results in pain that travels from the neck or upper back to the shoulder. Correcting the subluxations with chiropractic care, strengthening the supporting muscles with therapeutic exercises and relieving tension and stress with soft tissue therapy will help you to find relief from pinched nerves.

Chiropractor Dr. Al Simeone can accurately diagnose the root cause of your shoulder pain with a detailed exam, Xray and in severe cases an MRI. Rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder and pinched nerves all respond very well to conservative chiropractic care combined with soft tissue therapy, therapeutic exercises and physical therapy. If your case is severe though, he may refer you to an orthopedic specialist if necessary.
