Shoulder Pain

Shoulder injuries don’t always occur from sports activities like lifting, swinging, throwing or big knocks. They also commonly occur in people partaking in regular everyday activities like office work, carrying objects or even hanging the clothes out at home. The key to a lot of shoulder injuries is repetitive actions (including bad posture) that create inflammation or that close the space where other soft tissue structures pass through.

Your shoulders are joints where the upper-arm bones (humerus), shoulder blades (scapula), and collarbone (clavicle) meet. The humerus fits into the rounded socket of the scapula on each side of your body. Each shoulder is held in place by a group of four muscles and tendons, called a rotator cuff, which covers and protects the humerus and lets you raise and move your arm.

Common conditions and injuries of the shoulder are;

  • rotator cuff tears
  • bursitis
  • tendonitis
  • tendon impingement
  • referred pain from the neck/midback
  • labral tears

For most of these conditions, Innervate Chiro in Woolloongabba can help!

A thorough investigation into the structural cause will allow the Chiropractor to pinpoint which structures need help with healing and what surrounding structures need improving to take the pressure off the area. Given there are many interconnecting structures around the shoulder, more than 1 can be affecting movement and causing pain and addressing all will give best results.

Your Chiropractor will use a combination of;

  • Chiropractic adjustments
  • Muscle releases
  • Stretches
  • Specific exercises
  • Postural advice

Chiropractic Woolloongabba is a primary integrated part of the healthcare system which forms part of conservative methods which are an alternative to the usage of drugs and surgery. Chiropractors Australia is one of the fifteen registered healthcare professions in Australia and study for at least 5 years. Consumers are more widely seeking chiropractic in Woolloongabba and around the world as an important part of their ongoing healthcare. Each year there is an estimated 19.1 million visits to chiropractors Australia and other studies suggest that 8.6% of all visits are from children.

Chiropractic Australia involves the use of hands-on spinal manipulation called an ‘adjustment’ and other alternative treatments such as muscle releases, stretches and treatment tools. Proper alignment of the body's musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine, enables the body to heal itself in certain instances without surgery or medication. The aim of chiropractor Australia is to treat the cause, not the symptom!

The Adjustment uses the bones as levers to create ideal movement and function where it has been dysfunctional, which can cause neurological and muscular stress. Dysfunction may occur due to tissue injury caused by a traumatic event, such as falling, or repetitive stress, such as sitting without proper back support. The nervous system controls every single organ and function in the body. If a nearby joint or tissue is dysfunctional, it may create change or damage to the nerve. The muscles hang off bones (except the ones that make you smile!) and nerves tell muscles what to do. This means that if joints and nerves are dysfunctional, so may be the muscles.

Chiropractic treatment in Woolloongabba is used as a spinal alignment correction tool, and as a pain relief alternative for muscles, joints, bones, and connective tissue, such as cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. Chiro Australia is sometimes used in conjunction with conventional medical treatment. Techniques use quick but small movements to stretch tight areas, break up scar tissue and decompress joints.
