If you're suffering from shoulder pain, the discomfort can prevent you from participating in the hobbies you enjoy. Not only that, but the pain can also become chronic when left untreated. At Dabbs Rehab Center of Maryland in Columbia, MD, we provide non-invasive treatments to alleviate your aches and help you recover.
Causes of Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can occur from various factors, including:
- Rotator Cuff Injuries: Rotator cuff injuries are strains or tears in the stabilizing muscles of the shoulder. They are often caused by repetitive overhead motions or sports injuries and cause pain when lifting the arm.
- Impingement: Impingement occurs when the shoulder tendons are pinched due to limited space in the joint.
- Bursitis: Bursitis is an inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs around the shoulder joint, commonly resulting from overuse, injury, or arthritis. The pain is typically concentrated at the tip of the shoulder.
- Arthritis: This condition develops due to shoulder joint degeneration, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It can develop gradually with age or following an injury.
Our chiropractors will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, which may include orthopedic tests, a range of motion assessment, and potentially imaging to pinpoint the affected structures. This evaluation allows us to customize an effective treatment plan for your specific needs.
Chiropractic Treatments for Shoulder Pain
At our practice, we utilize various methods to treat shoulder pain. Some methods our chiropractors may recommend include:
- Chiropractic Adjustments: Chiropractic adjustments realign the shoulder joint to relieve pain and improve mobility.
- Joint Mobilization: These gentle movements restore range of motion restricted by injury or stiffness.
- Soft Tissue Massage: Soft tissue massage is designed to relax tight muscles, release adhesions, and improves blood flow to accelerate healing.
- Dry Needling: Dry needling reduces trigger points and muscle knots caused by overuse or injuries.
- Rehab Exercises: We can also teach you specific exercises to strengthen weakened muscles and enhance overall shoulder function.
These hands-on techniques, along with at-home exercises, can help you effectively overcome persistent shoulder pain.
