Far too often shoulder pain prevents individuals from participating in their favourite activities such as playing golf, gardening or using the computer. At times the shoulder pain can be so bad it prevents the simplest activities such as reaching into a cupboard or getting a good night’s sleep. The shoulder is different from most other joints in the body because it is designed to provide a great deal of movement. This wide range of movement comes at the cost of stability, which makes the shoulder highly susceptible to injury. Common shoulder injuries such as rotator cuff tears, bursitis, tendonitis and frozen shoulder often occur with injury to the complex group of muscles and ligaments that help to stabilize, support and balance the shoulder joint. At Chiropractic Plus, we understand that with shoulder injuries, diagnosis is of the utmost importance for developing an effective treatment plan. We offer solutions that will often focus not only on decreasing shoulder pain and inflammation, but also on correcting underlying faulty shoulder biomechanics and muscular imbalances to prevent future occurrences.
