Causes of Shoulder pain
Chiropractic Treatment
Chiropractors are trained to treat musculoskeletal problems. You should not only rely on painkillers. The chiropractor will not only check your shoulder, but they will do a full physical examination to ensure the cause and origin of the disease. They will take history regarding your lifestyle, any previous illness, medications and family history. This integrated approach will help the chiropractor to properly diagnose the problem. Chiropractic techniques relieve the pressure on the spinal cord by realignment of misplaced vertebrae. Chiropractor gently applies pressure to the vertebrae and reposition it and also advice you other treatments like traction, stretching and specific exercises. Chiropractors are not only trained to treat back pain, but they are also experts in treating other joints of the extremities like knee, shoulder and other small joints.
Before a workout, it would be better to do some warm-up exercises like Codmans arm swing for your shoulders. This exercise is performed by leaning your body forward until the shoulders become perpendicular to the ground, and then swing both arms in small circles. This exercise also helps to treat postural syndrome.
