Shoulder, Arm, Wrist or Hand Pain
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder dysfunction is a very common problem. If the arm and shoulder blade are not moving correctly then with repetitive motions over time, pain and discomfort can occur.
The shoulder can be prone to injuries as it is a very loose joint that is only connected to the spine by one small true joint (The Sterno-clavicular joint). The rest of the shoulder is held in position by muscles. This means that an imbalance in the muscles can lead to a variety of different types of injury.
Your neck can sometimes be a cause of shoulder dusfunction, and can actually be a key element in treating a shoulder injury as a lot of the muscles holding your shoulder in place originate at the neck.
A group of muscles commonly associated with the shoulder is the ‘rotator cuff’. These four muscles can be crucial in the rehabilitation of a shoulder injury. Our Chiropractors will explain the role of your different muscles in relation to the rest of the muscles and joints that make up the very complex, but brilliant, shoulder joint. They will explain what is causing your problem and how they will be able to help.
