SHOULDER PAIN

 

CHIROPRACTIC FOR SHOULDER PAIN

When you experience shoulder pain, then type of pain can vary depending on the injury or cause of your shoulder issue. This can range from a dull ache, to sharp pain, or even a clicking or popping sound. Regardless of the type of shoulder pain you are experiencing, it is important to consult with our experienced Chiropractors to diagnose the origin of your shoulder pain and recommend the best course of treatment. The location of your shoulder pain can give your local Chiropractor a good idea as to which underlying structures may be irritated or injured. Along with this location your Chiropractor will want to know about any symptoms that accompany your pain. This could include neck pain, numbness, pain down one or both your arms, or weakness.
