Shoulder Pain Treatment at Advanced Spine & Sport Chiropractic
Even with practice and proper technique, athletes are at risk of developing shoulder pain. Many different sports injuries can result in shoulder pain, making it difficult to get back to the game and even partake in other hobbies and responsibilities. Our Ventura chiropractor can help you treat the root cause of your shoulder pain so you can get back to enjoying your favorite sport.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain usually occurs when the ligaments, muscles, or tendons are injured, instead of the bones. This is typically a result of the repetitive motions athletes make while practicing and playing. Some of the most common causes of shoulder pain experienced by athletes are:
- Dislocation – This occurs when the ball of the shoulder comes out of the socket and is commonly experienced during falls and collisions in contact sports.
- Instability – This is a recurring condition where the soft tissue around the shoulder is damaged, resulting in shoulder weakness as well as a feeling of heaviness in the arm.
- Rotator Cuff Injuries – The rotator cuff consists of tendons and muscles surrounding the joint of the shoulder. Injuries occur when these tendons and muscles are damaged or torn, which is common in athletes playing sports that require repetitive shoulder motion.
Chiropractic Treatment for Shoulder Pain
Leaving shoulder pain untreated can make it difficult to keep up with your favorite sport. It can also result in a worsening condition or injury that could have more severe consequences in the future. Visit our Ventura chiropractor for shoulder pain treatment options including:
- Laser Therapy – We utilize innovative K Laser technology to help patients get rid of pain and discomfort. This treatment is excellent for shoulder pain, as it reduces inflammation by improving blood flow in the area. Over time, this will decrease shoulder pain and can help prevent it from coming back in the future.
- Traditional Adjustment Techniques – We can also treat your shoulder pain using traditional adjustment techniques. Chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment and balance, helping to reduce inflammation, pain, and discomfort.
