Treatment Options For Shoulder Pain and How Our Chiropractor Can Help

At Spinal Health Centers, many of our patients present with shoulder pain. We think one important, often overlooked part of shoulder pain relief is understanding why you're in pain so you can prevent a relapse. Learn common causes of shoulder pain plus how our Rancho Cucamonga chiropractor treats it. 

Causes of Shoulder Pain 

Common causes of shoulder pain include: 

• Torn rotator cuff - A common shoulder injury is a torn rotator cuff, which leads to joint weakness and pain. 
• Bursitis - Inflammation of shoulder bursae leads to bursitis, a painful condition. 
• Arthritis - Arthritis causes inflammation and pain throughout the body, including in the shoulder. 
• Bone fracture - If you fractured one of the bones in your shoulder, say by falling off a bicycle, you'll experience severe pain. 
• Frozen shoulder - If you are unable to move your shoulder at all, you could have frozen shoulder. 
• Accident - Sports, auto, and workplace accidents can cause shoulder injury. If you were in an accident, we recommend that you get checked out by our Rancho Cucamonga chiropractor as soon as possible. 

Shoulder Pain Relief in Rancho Cucamonga

We combine acupuncture, chiropractic, and massage therapy for shoulder pain relief in Rancho Cucamonga. Acupuncture releases endorphins, which tamp down inflammation and relieve pain, so you feel better. Acupuncture also increases blood flow in needed areas, to boost your tissue recovery. 

Massage therapy heals tissue injuries through relieving muscle tension, increasing circulation, promoting lymphatic drainage, and reducing stiffness. 

Chiropractic adjustments restore the alignment of the shoulder joint, to restore the full range of motion and restabilize the shoulder. 

While each of these therapies is effective for managing shoulder pain, taken together, they are an efficient and natural way to address common causes of shoulder pain.
