Is chiropractic adjustment good for shoulder pain?
Chiropractic care can be a great alternative treatment for shoulder pain especially when cervical spine trouble is the source. Cervical problems often refer pain to the shoulder blade and over the shoulder and down the upper arm simulating or causing shoulder pain. In other instances, shoulder pain is caused directly from a problem in the shoulder like frozen shoulder, a rotator cuff tear, biceps problem or arthritis at the AC or shoulder joint. In these instances, chiropractic care can help with muscle tightness but is less likely to significantly reduce the symptoms and seeking care from an orthopedic surgeon would be a good choice.
