Shoulder Injuries
Shoulder injuries and conditions can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life. At our chiropractic center, we specialize in providing comprehensive care for a wide range of shoulder issues, helping you find relief and restore function.
1. Rotator Cuff Tears
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. Tears in these structures can occur due to overuse, trauma, or degenerative changes, resulting in pain, weakness, and limited range of motion.
2. Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
This condition occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff become pinched between the bones of the shoulder, causing pain, inflammation, and reduced mobility, especially when raising the arm overhead.
3. Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
Frozen shoulder is characterized by stiffness, pain, and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint. It often develops gradually and can be triggered by injury, surgery, or underlying conditions such as diabetes or thyroid disorders.
4. Shoulder Instability
Shoulder instability can result from ligament laxity or previous dislocations, leading to feelings of looseness or “slipping” in the shoulder joint. This can increase the risk of recurrent dislocations and impair normal shoulder function.
5. Shoulder Arthritis
Arthritis can affect the shoulder joint, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling. Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis are common types of shoulder arthritis that can result in decreased range of motion and difficulty performing everyday tasks.
