SHOULDER PAIN

The shoulder complex is the most mobile joint in the body. As a result, it is subject to a wide range of injuries and conditions. Due to that, your shoulder pain may develop over time or come on immediately.

Causes of Shoulder Pain

Since the shoulder is a joint we use continually throughout the day every day, any injury should be treated early to prevent additional damage. The list of causes of shoulder pain is long, but some of the most common include:

• Neck and upper back problems
• Arthritis in the shoulder complex
• Abnormal motor patterns causing aberrant motion
• Participation in athletics
• Automobile accidents
• Workplace accidents and injuries

Some symptoms of a shoulder problem are more pronounced than others and should be evaluated immediately such as

• Pain lasting more than a week
• Pain that comes and goes frequently
• Difficulty raising your arm above your head
• Trouble or pain carrying objects
• Pain that becomes more pronounced at night
• Obvious signs of injury like bruising or swelling
• Unusual snapping or clicking sensation or sound in the joint during movement

The neck and upper back are where the muscles and structures that control your shoulder movement are located. Spinal misalignments (subluxations) can be the initial source of shoulder pain. Left untreated, additional damage to the shoulder can develop. Our chiropractors are trained to identify referred pain that could be the source of your shoulder problem.
