Shoulder Pain: Understanding the Causes and How We Can Help
Shoulder pain can make everyday tasks difficult and affect your quality of life. Whether it’s from an injury, overuse, or a condition like arthritis, it’s important to get the right care quickly to prevent further problems. At Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic, we combine chiropractic and physiotherapy to provide complete and effective care for shoulder pain.
What Causes Shoulder Pain?
Here are some common causes of shoulder pain and how they can affect you:
Rotator Cuff Injuries: Tears or strains in the muscles and tendons that stabilize your shoulder, leading to pain and weakness.
Frozen Shoulder: Stiffness and limited movement caused by inflammation in the shoulder joint.
Shoulder Impingement: Inflammation from tendons or bursa being compressed in the shoulder joint.
Arthritis: Wear-and-tear damage to the joint, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced movement.
Tendonitis: Inflammation of tendons due to repetitive movements or overuse.
Dislocation or Instability: When the shoulder joint moves out of its normal position, leading to pain and instability.
How We Help with Chiropractic Care
We focus on restoring proper alignment and movement to reduce pain and improve function. For shoulder pain, we use:
Spinal Adjustments: To improve spinal alignment and reduce pressure on nerves connected to the shoulder.
Soft Tissue Therapy: Techniques like massage and stretching to release tension and improve flexibility.
Joint Mobilization: Gentle movements to ease stiffness and improve shoulder mobility.
Posture Support: Helping you develop better posture to reduce strain on your shoulders.
How We Help with Physiotherapy
We create tailored treatment plans to strengthen your shoulder, restore mobility, and support healing. Our methods include:
Targeted Exercises: Strengthening and stretching routines to stabilize and improve shoulder function.
Hands-On Techniques: Manual therapy, like joint mobilization and soft tissue work, to reduce pain and stiffness.
Pain Relief Modalities: Tools like heat, ice, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation to speed up recovery.
Functional Training: Helping you regain strength and endurance for daily tasks or sports.
Why Combine Chiropractic and Physiotherapy?
We believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. By combining chiropractic and physiotherapy, we address both the structural and functional aspects of shoulder pain.
Here’s how this synergy benefits you:
Complete Care: Chiropractic adjustments improve spinal and joint function, while physiotherapy builds strength and mobility.
Faster Recovery: Working on both your spine and shoulder helps reduce pain and speed up healing.
Personalized Plans: We tailor treatments to your specific needs for the best results.
Long-Term Relief: Together, these approaches promote healthier movement patterns, helping to prevent future injuries.
