​​Shoulder and elbow pain and how to alleviate or manage it through chiropractic treatments

​

Shoulder and elbow pain may hinder you from engaging in activities you enjoy and living your life to the fullest. This kind of pain is continuous and usually results from excessive use. Shoulder and elbow pain is a frequent issue among both adolescent and adult athletes, as well as individuals with physically demanding and repetitive occupations. Shoulder and elbow pain, if not treated, can develop into back and neck pain as well as issues such as tingling and numbness in your hands.

What are the benefits of chiropractic care for individuals experiencing shoulder and elbow pain?

Receiving chiropractic treatment is a beneficial option for addressing and alleviating inflammation and pain in the shoulders and elbows. Regular chiropractic treatment offers individuals experiencing shoulder and elbow pain a safe, non-addictive option to prescription drugs or over-the-counter pain relievers commonly used to alleviate discomfort and inflammation.

Chiropractors provide a gentle, non-invasive, non-addictive treatment called a chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic adjustments decrease joint limitations or misalignments in the spine and other joints throughout the body to lessen inflammation and enhance the performance of both the impacted joint and nervous system. By enhancing the flexibility of your joints and enhancing your nervous system function and spinal health, your body can more effectively deal with symptoms stemming from elbow or shoulder pain.

The following are a few of the ways in which chiropractic care and chiropractic adjustments can benefit individuals experiencing shoulder and elbow pain. 

​

• Decreased inflammation.

• Reduced pain and discomfort.

• Improved range of motion.

• Increased muscle tone and strength.

• Improved flexibility.

In order to determine if chiropractic treatment is suitable for your condition, the chiropractor at Spinal Solutions will conduct a consultation, examination and may recommend diagnostic imaging like x-rays or MRIs if needed. After examining you and conducting a consultation, your chiropractor may collaborate with other healthcare providers like massage therapists, physical therapists, or primary care physicians in treating your shoulder and elbow pain.​
