Shoulder Pain Care in Portland
Whether from an auto accident or workplace injury, shoulder pain can be debilitating, making it challenging to perform daily tasks. As the neck and upper back often contribute to shoulder discomfort, it’s important to get a comprehensive chiropractic assessment.
If your shoulder pain affects your daily life, seeking chiropractic care early can lead to quicker recovery and prevent further complications. If your pain persists, it’s always better to have it evaluated sooner rather than later, as waiting too long can lead to a more extended recovery.
How We Can Help
Chiropractic Care
We focus on restoring proper motion in the shoulder joint and surrounding areas. By relaxing muscle spasms and adjusting the spine and other joints, we help reduce pain and inflammation. We also identify related areas, such as the neck or upper back, that may be contributing to the issue.
Once we address the underlying causes, we incorporate customized exercises to strengthen the shoulder, improving mobility and function. Poor posture, such as forward head carriage and rounded shoulders, often contributes to shoulder pain, and chiropractic adjustments can help correct these issues by realigning the spine and shoulders to reduce strain.
Chiropractic care can also improve mobility and range of motion. Our patients typically complete their treatment plans with significantly improved shoulder function, allowing them to return to their daily activities without discomfort.
Other Therapies
Depending on the severity and cause of your shoulder pain, our treatments may include the following:
- Electric muscle stimulation
- Soft tissue manipulation
- Adjustments
- Light therapy
- Cupping
- Traction
- Shockwave therapy
Additionally, we provide stretches and strengthening exercises tailored to your needs, especially for the rotator cuff muscles. Our rehab room has professional-grade resistance bands and free weights to build shoulder strength, which is crucial for preventing future injuries.
Collaboration With Other Providers
We offer a full range of tools to treat the source of your shoulder pain. Working alongside massage or physical therapists often yields great results. We provide similar therapies to massage therapists and physical therapists, so don’t feel you’re missing out if you don’t have separate massage or PT appointments. However, if your injury requires dedicated PT or massage therapy, we will refer you for co-treatment.
