Imagine life without a fully functional shoulder

The scope of activities for which we use our shoulders is astounding; the glenohumeral joint, the main ball and socket of the shoulder, has a legitimate case for most used joint in the body (after the mandible). Accordingly, 1 in 2 people will suffer shoulder dysfunction at some point in their life and, as an office of chiropractic, we regularly treat complaints relating to pain and dysfunction in the shoulders. 

Common shoulder-related conditions that we treat in Sacramento:

• Frozen Shoulder
• Rotator Cuff tear 
• Bursitis/ Shoulder impingement
• Shoulder Instability
• Dislocation
• Injury to the ligaments
• Labral tear 
• Referred pain from another injury
• Arthritis

Symptoms that indicate you should seek treatment for your shoulder pain in Sacramento include:

• Shoulder pain that persists for more than a few days
• Shoulder pain that recurs
• Loss of strength
• Consistently reduced range of motion
• Inability to raise your arm normally 
• Swelling and inflammation 

How we treat shoulder pain in Sacramento

Our first goal is to determine the exact cause of your symptoms. Because most shoulder conditions share symptoms (pain and limited range of motion), it is important to get a proper diagnosis. From here we enact a treatment plan that will involve chiropractic adjustment, mobilization of the joint, targeted strengthening and stretching and other natural therapies such as heat and ice to free up the joint from inflammation and return you to normal range of movement.
