Shoulder pain is an extremely common complaint, and there are many causes of this problem. Like most ailments the sooner the shoulder is examined and the necessary approach taken to resolve the problem the better the recovery. There are various signs and symptoms that may indicate what actually is wrong with your shoulder. Likewise, there are many common conditions which can be attributed to your shoulder complaint.

Some of these are:

• Rotator Cuff tears
• Adhesive Capsulitis (also known as a frozen shoulder)
• Tendonitis due to calcific changes
• Arthritis
• Fractures or dislocations
• Ligamentous tears

Your Chiropractor at the Lisburn and Bangor Chiropractic Clinics is well trained in understanding and successfully treating that complaint. What is unique with our approach is that we will always try and correlate these peripheral joint problems with the way your spine functions. Dysfunctions and misalignments of the vertebras often lead to poor healing, lesser function and reduced mobility in joints like the shoulder. Understanding and optimizing stability within the skeletal frame is as important as reducing pain and lack of motion in the shoulder. Treatment will always focus of the shoulder complaint with a strong emphasis on the spinal segments governing the shoulder injury. Various modalities such as massage, heat-Cold (cryo) therapy, acupuncture and exercise are also used as an adjunct to care.
