Shoulder Pain

Though you aren’t always aware of it, you use our shoulders every day. Whenever you are lifting a heavy object, opening a door, or even drinking our morning coffee, we rely on a functional, pain-free shoulder. When a condition causes shoulder pain, accomplishing even these small daily tasks can become a struggle. If you have been dealing with long-lasting or acute shoulder pain, it is time to see a professional chiropractor. Our non-invasive, nonaddictive treatments can help reduce your pain while stimulating your body’s ability to heal itself naturally.

What Conditions Result in Shoulder Pain?

Though there are many potential underlying causes which contribute to shoulder pain, a few of the most common include:

• Rotator cuff injuries – the rotator cuff — a collection of muscles and tendons which keep your shoulder stable — can occur due to overuse or overextension. Bursitis is another common rotator cuff injury.

• SLAP Tear – The Superior Labrum is an important muscle in your shoulder, and is most commonly used when you are throwing overhand. SLAP tears occur where this muscle connects in your bicep. This injury generally occurs due to muscle overuse.

• CrossFit Shoulder – CrossFit workouts put a particular strain on the shoulders, as you lift weights above your head. A collection of different shoulder injuries can form from these workouts, all of which an experienced chiropractor can help you with.

• Frozen shoulder – stiffness in your shoulder (also known as adhesive capsulitis) limits your range of motion and can inflame, causing pain and swelling. Stiffness can occur when scar tissue forms in the shoulder. Careful, hands-on treatment can help “thaw out” your shoulder and restore movement. 

• Shoulder arthritis – arthritis occurs when your joints become inflamed. Though the pain is often long-lasting, with ebbs and flows, chiropractic medicine offers several effective techniques for controlling the symptoms.

Of course, these are only a handful of the most common conditions which can cause shoulder pain. To see if we can help you with your shoulder pain, please reach out to one of our two locations (in Schererville and Crown Point) today!
