Shoulder and arm pain
Shoulder and arm pain
Have you ever felt pain in your arm or shoulder when doing something simple, like brushing your teeth, sitting at your computer, or reaching to open a door? If so, you may have a problem in your upper back and shoulders. In many cases, the cause of these symptoms lies in your neck and upper back and the surrounding muscles. If left untreated, the irritation and inflammation of the joints can continue to increase, causing the pain to worsen. As the pain gets worse, the range of motion of your arm and shoulder decreases!
If a spinal condition is identified in the upper back and shoulder area after examination and x-rays, gentle chiropractic adjustments can be used to help restore proper alignment to the spine and shoulder. This alignment takes pressure off the affected nerves and in most cases reduces pain. Chiropractic treatment can also be used to restore proper muscle tone and balance to the surrounding areas. The combination of these two types of conservative treatments is very effective in helping the patient improve.
