Schedule AppointmentCommon Causes for Shoulder Pain
There are numerous causes of shoulder pain. Apart from poor posture issues, you can also injure your shoulders in accidents such as falling or when you overdo a certain task that puts pressure on that area. Arthritis or inflammation in the shoulder joints is another common cause of shoulder pain.
Top Causes of Shoulder Pain
- Accident or Injury
- Poor Posture Sitting or Standing
- Arthritis
- Dislocation
Dislocation of the shoulder joint is also rather common, which happens usually when you fall on top of your outstretched arm or when an activity leads you to pull the arm awkwardly with great force. What happens during a dislocation is when the round ball area of the joint — humerus — is forced to leave its socket.
Some other shoulder-related issues include frozen shoulders, or when you experience extreme stiffness on your shoulder. Also, tears and sprains in the rotator cuff. All these issues can be treated and naturally healed with the help of a qualified chiropractor.
Can a Chiropractor Really Relieve My Shoulder Pain?

Your chiropractor will address the root cause of what causes you pain, treat you accordingly with adjustments and therapies, and advise you on what you should and should not do in order to prevent that from happening again.

When you visit Action Spine & Joint Clinic in Nashville to treat your shoulder pain issues, you will first go through a thorough evaluation by your chiropractor to get a clear and definitive cause for what exactly is causing the pain. Apart from a manual inspection, this may include bone scanning as well as X-rays. Once that is done, your chiropractor will discuss the treatment options with you, and proceed with the adjustments and treatments according to an agreed-upon plan.

You do not have to opt for strong pain medication and invasive surgical procedures even for inflammatory conditions such as frozen shoulders with the help of proper chiropractic care.
When Should You Seek Chiropractic Help For Shoulder Ailments
Prolonged use of pain relievers without treating the root cause of what is causing you pain is not good for your overall health. There are major adverse effects of getting addicted to an artificial form of pain relief if you choose to simply pop a pill when your shoulder pain bothers you. This is when you need to see a qualified and experienced chiropractor to not only soothe your pain but also carefully adjust your musculoskeletal system so that you will no longer experience pain or discomfort.
Occasional shoulder pain after a long day of work is often not a thing to worry about. However, if your pain is chronic, you are having difficulty moving your shoulder and if it continues to lower your quality of life, a visit to your chiropractor will definitely help you.
How to Avoid Shoulder Pain?
While we speak of how to treat shoulder pain problems, it is also important to know how to prevent them from happening in the first place. Even if you do not do a physically strenuous job that could negatively affect your shoulder, something as simple as bad posture while working from home on your laptop can eventually lead to chronic shoulder pain.
A good diet is essential to get all the nutrients needed to stay healthy. Regular exercise also helps keep your body in the best shape but remember to properly warm-up and stretch before your workouts to avoid any risk of injury to your joints and muscles.
Paying close attention to your body will help you recognize any early signs of shoulder issues. Making regular visits to your chiropractor for preventive adjustments and care will also help you prevent pain and injuries on not just your shoulder, but also your entire body.
