How does chiropractic help with shoulder pain and injury?

Chiropractic care focuses on the holistic treatment of musculoskeletal problems, including shoulder pain. Chiropractors use hands-on techniques and specialized instruments to adjust the spine, neck, and shoulders. These adjustments help to restore normal nerve function, improve alignment, reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and enhance joint function. Chiropractic care promotes long-term healing and relief by addressing the root cause of the pain rather than just the symptoms.

Why is looking at the whole body necessary, especially the neck?

The human body functions as an interconnected system, and shoulder pain can often be linked to issues in other body parts, particularly the neck. Misalignments or tension in the neck can lead to nerve compression or altered biomechanics, which can cause or exacerbate shoulder pain. By looking at the whole body, chiropractors can identify and treat these underlying issues, providing more comprehensive and effective care. This holistic approach ensures that all contributing factors to shoulder pain are addressed, leading to better outcomes and overall wellness.

What Our Patients Are Saying

Is it safe?

Yes, spinal adjustments are safe when performed by a licensed, trained chiropractor. Serious problems from spinal adjustments are very rare, especially when compared to the side effects of drugs and the risks of surgery. Chiropractors receive extensive training to ensure they can provide help without causing harm. During your initial appointment in Tucson, we will discuss your health history and address any concerns you may have before beginning treatment.
