Shoulder Pain
The shoulder allows the greatest range of motion of any joint in the body. However, this great range of motion tends to make us susceptible to several problems. Shoulder sprains, strains and dislocations are very common, and are often caused by sports activities that involve excessive overhead motion like swimming, tennis, throwing and weightlifting. Common symptoms of shoulder damage include aching pain on the side and upper arm, or aching in the top and front of the shoulder. Treatment usually involves soft tissue release and joint mobilisation.
Shoulder injuries need careful attention as it is not always easy to determine what the cause of the problem is for someone other then a highly trained professional. There is always the possibility that the pain felt in the shoulder could be referred pain or spinal damage felt through connecting nerves. In order to cover all possibilities it would be wise to visit us at City Chiropractic Care as we are able to examine all areas to determine where the problem is coming from.
