Chiropractic and Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain has become a common issue, affecting millions of people worldwide. Approximately 18 to 26 percent of adults experience shoulder pain at some point in their life. Chiropractic care is becoming an increasingly popular option for those with shoulder pain.
What is Chiropractic?
- Chiropractic is based on the understanding that the body is self-healing and self-regulating, directed by the nervous system.
- The nervous system is the body’s communication system, carrying messages between the brain and every muscle, organ, and tissue.
- The spine protects these nerves, and when spinal bones lose proper alignment or motion, they can interfere with nerve communication.
- This interference is called a vertebral subluxation, and it can disrupt how the body functions, adapts, and heals—often before pain is felt.
- Chiropractors locate, analyze, and adjust vertebral subluxations to reduce nerve interference and restore clearer brain-body communication.
- When communication improves, function improves, allowing the body to express health and life more fully.
How can chiropractic help people with shoulder pain?
- By locating and adjusting vertebral subluxations, chiropractors help reduce or remove interference within the nervous system.
- When interference to the nervous system is reduced, communication between the brain and the body can function more clearly and efficiently.
- When brain-body communication improves, the body is better able to function, adapt, and heal.
What are some of the other benefits of chiropractic care?
- Greater capacity to handle life’s demands
- Improved adaptability and resilience
- Optimized whole body function
- Greater vitality and energy
- Unlocking your life potential
What does the research say?
- A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that patients with shoulder pain who received chiropractic care experienced significant improvements in their pain and function.
- Multiple case studies in the Annals of Vertebral Subluxation Research demonstrate the effectiveness of chiropractic care relating to shoulder pain.
- A study in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine showed that patients with rotator cuff injuries had better outcomes with chiropractic care than those who received only physical therapy.
In conclusion, chiropractic is a safe, effective, non-invasive, and drug-free approach to improving your quality of life.
