get shoulder pain relief at our chiropractic office

We don't pay much attention to our shoulders until they begin to bother us and cause us discomfort. The majority of individuals instantly begin seeking the finest chiropractic adjustments in Las Vegas NV because they are constantly moving their shoulders to lift and extend their arms, carry objects, wave, and conduct a variety of other actions and jobs. Due to the fact that it is the most movable joint in the body, the shoulder is susceptible to a broad variety of injuries and disorders.

Shoulder difficulties that are left untreated can result in crippling problems for the rest of one's life. Identification of the source of shoulder discomfort is critical in order to provide effective relief for the shoulder joint and long-term relief. This article discusses some of the most frequent reasons for shoulder discomfort, as well as how chiropractic therapy may help to restore functional health to the shoulder.


Getting Relief For Your Shoulder Pain In Las Vegas NV

The list of possible causes of shoulder discomfort is nearly limitless, but let's take a look at some of the more typical reasons for pain in the shoulders. Shoulder discomfort can be caused by a variety of things, including:

  • Tightness in the neck and upper back
  • Misalignment of the spine
  • Arthritis
  • Movement patterns that are out of the ordinary
  • Athletic injuries and car accidents are two of the most common.

Some of the elements on this list may suggest localized swelling in the shoulder joint; nevertheless, the majority of them indicate that the spine is the most likely source of the discomfort. The nerves that govern the shoulder are derived from the spinal column. If the vertebrae in the neck and upper back are crushed or damaged, the nerves that supply the shoulder will be inflamed, resulting in shoulder pain and discomfort. When even the smallest spinal misalignment occurs, it can cause communication between nerves and the shoulder to be disrupted, setting off a chain reaction of complications. It is possible that what looks to be shoulder discomfort is actually transferred pain from the spinal column.


Managing The Pain With Chiropractic Options

Some of these more common reasons include neck and back problems, arthritis, irregular motor functions, athletics, and automobile accidents. With the wide variety of potential causes, pain in the shoulder can either gradually worsen months after an incident or immediately. Our shoulders are used for a lot of different activities, many of which we do not even realize involve the shoulder muscles. With that said, any injury at all should be taken seriously. Even if the injury appears minor at first, make sure to get it checked out to ensure it will never develop into something worse.

There are many symptoms related to a shoulder condition. Some of these symptoms are more painful than others. Due to the complexity of the area, every symptom must be examined closely. If you are experiencing shoulder pain that lasts more than a week, pain that comes and goes often, pain from lifting objects, or are unable to put your arm above your head, you should come in as soon as possible for a consultation. It is also advised to come in immediately when there is significant swelling, bruising, or an abnormal clicking feeling when you move the joint.

Shoulder pain is just like every other injury and therefore requires a personalized treatment plan. This is why a proper and precise diagnosis is a must. All of our staff is trained and experienced in all the diagnostic techniques to find the origin behind your pain. Every patient goes through a thorough consultation, and we will not make a diagnosis until we fully understand the situation.

Shoulder joints are controlled by muscle groups in the upper back and neck. A spinal misalignment can cause an interruption in the signals that run from the nerves and the muscles they control. In many cases, shoulder pain actually originates from the neck region and moves towards the shoulders. An adjustment to align the spine can some times remove shoulder pain. We have worked with many patients with the same concerns and are confident in our effective techniques.

We offer many types of therapies aside from adjustments that have been proven to help reduce or eliminate shoulder pain. Our goal is to offer you the fastest recovery possible and get you back to a pain-free state.
