Looking for a Chiropractor that can help with your shoulder pain in Chatswood, NSW?
Your shoulders consist of bones, tendons, ligaments and muscles that connect the arm to the torso. The shoulder has two joints which allow for movement of the arm, the acromioclavicular joint and the glenohumeral joint. Due to the complexity of the shoulder area, there are many issues that can occur and cause reduced movement and pain.
Shoulder pain is a very common condition and affects many Australians. Most patients feel some level of pain, limited range of motion, an inability to engage in activities they are used to partaking in, or even something more serious like a permanent disability.
At your first consultation, we will take a detailed patient history to better understand you and your shoulder pain and how it began. We even offer a free 15 minute phone consultation if you would like to discuss your shoulder pain with us prior to making an appointment.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain:
Some of the more common causes of shoulder and or clavicle pain include:
Stress fracture, from too much weight or pressure on the clavicle. Even a very small stress fracture can cause immense pain.
Osteoarthritis, where the protective cartilage around the clavicle or shoulder has worn down.
Bruising, where force trauma has occurred and bruised the bone, possibly from an accident (ie: car accident).
Poor sleep posture, in which case your chiropractor can recommend a sleep posture that won’t negatively affect the shoulder or clavicle region.
Shoulder injuries are often associated with lack of thoracic spine (middle area of the back) mobility. With this type of shoulder injury, it responds well to joint manipulation/adjustment. We can treat these symptoms in a manner aligned to your treatment plan.
Shoulder pain can be debilitating and not something you need to live with. Let Dr. James Zheng (Chiropractor) improve your shoulder pain by focusing on the root issue (and not just masking the pain) and get you moving again!
