CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT FOR SHOULDER PAIN
We get a lot of people visiting our Chiropractic practices in Newcastle, the Hunter Valley and Mackay with Shoulder Pain.
When you have shoulder pain you feel irritated and frustrated, it is hard to move and pick things up, let alone exercise. It becomes hard to think clearly and to truly enjoy life when your activities are limited.. Yoga, golf, simply picking up a shopping bag or your child becomes difficult!!
The shoulder is the most flexible joint in your body, and given the number of everyday activities it's involved in—from brushing your hair to reaching up into the cupboard—it's easy to see why shoulder pain is something you'd want to get to the bottom of right away. Without free movement, often you struggle to do the things you love.
It is hard to know what to do, there seems to be many options….
When you see an expert in shoulder pain, you’ll finally be in the right hands so that you can get the care you deserve, get back to loving your life of activity and being more “you”!

There are many different types of Shoulder Issues and most are diagnosed by history and presenting factors.
The first thing we will do is take a thorough history and then do a gentle exam to determine what is going on and to see if we can help.
Your shoulder joints move every time you move your arms. To better understand shoulder problems and injuries, you may want to review the anatomy and function of the shoulder. The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint with three main bones: the upper arm bone (humerus), collarbone (clavicle), and shoulder blade (scapula). These bones are held together by muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The shoulder joint has the greatest range of motion of any joint in the body. Because of this mobility, the shoulder is more likely to be injured or cause problems. The acromioclavicular (AC) joint, which lies over the top of the shoulder, is also easily injured.
There are lots of reasons why you might have shoulder pain, there are also many different symptoms with shoulder pain. Here at Sprouting Health Chiropractic in the Hunter Valley, Newcastle & Mackay (yes we see big sprouts too), we will help identify why you have the pain, then we will develop a game plan specific to you, to help you manage your recovery. We isolate the major muscles and do very specific strength testing on these muscles to ascertain where the problem is. We also do stability tests and range of motion testing to work out iff the shoulder problem is stemming from somewhere else (eg the neck). We then go about balancing the joints that support the shoulder and the shoulder joint itself.
We use natural and gentle means to help manage your recovery.
So lets move from feeling old, frustrated and down... to getting that spring in your step back, lets create more energy and focus and target that burdensome pain.
