How Chiropractic Care can help with Shoulder Pain?
Shoulder pain can affect between 4 and 26% of the population every year. Multiple joints form this extremely mobile region of our body. The joints are in charge of everything such as lifting our arms high above our heads and embracing our loved family members. This guide can help you determine if a chiropractic Tacoma is the right choice for you.
The Most Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
The complex and mobile shoulder joint (also known as the shoulder girdle) is highly complicated. It is made up of two main joints (four in total).
-
Acromioclavicular joint: This is the place in which the shoulder blade and the clavicle meet in the back.
-
Glenohumeral Joint: Most people imagine the shoulder where the humerus, which is the upper arm bone, slides into the socket in the shoulder (the "glenoid cavity").
These joints are covered by a complex web of ligaments and muscles. The supraspinatus (and infraspinatus) muscles form the wrist rotator. These muscles hold your humerus inside the glenoid cavity, which allows you to raise the arms above your head.
Tendons join muscles and bones, while ligaments connect muscles and allow for smooth movement. The labrum is an elastic tissue that takes the form of the humerus' head and is the cover for the capsule that forms the shoulder joint capsule. Bursa, a fluid-filled sac absorbs shock and permits movement at the joint of the glenohumeral.
The brachial complex is made up of nerves that originate from your armpit and your shoulder runs through the armpit. These nerves control movements and pain signals within the hand, arm, and shoulder.
Any time can cause shoulder pain. It is more likely to occur at late at night when the joint stiffens. It may feel numb or abrasive or be a burning sensation in your shoulder joint. A few people experience acute pain that can be felt in several areas, such as the shoulder, the middle back, the shoulder blades, the neck, or the arm.

-
Articulatory: This technique improves the range of motion of a specific joint. In this case, it is the shoulder joint. Your chiropractor will help guide the joint through its current range of motion and apply pressure to expand the range of motion.
-
Myofascial Release: Myofascial releases tight connective tissue around the shoulder. These conditions could lead to or cause frozen shoulders or other painful conditions that limit the range of motion in your shoulder.
-
Chiropractic spinal manipulation can assist to alleviate shoulder pain. Chiropractic spinal manipulation can be used to alleviate pain caused by pinched nerves. It focuses on the balance of the cervical vertebrae.

Functional techniques: These methods enhance joint motion and reduce stiffness. The chiropractor will stretch your shoulder until it is at its limit. The pressure will release at the point where it is. This gentle pressure eventually will loosen your joint capsule, easing stiffness.
Your chiropractor might also use direct thrust techniques and other techniques. Although not designed for shoulder injuries or other issues the technique makes use of a quick, rapid movement to align the spine. This type of chiropractic adjustment is necessary to help balance your body.
