See Dr. Carolyn Griffin, or Dr. Roger De Sesa for the pain relief you need today to improve your life tomorrow.
The primary sources of shoulder pain are:
The primary causes of shoulder pain are:
Impact injuries: Most often sports related, or motor vehicle accident related
Age related wear and tear
Stress or inflammation of the joint and surrounding muscles and tendons
Repetitive motion injuries
You should never dismiss shoulder pain that occurs without physical trauma as normal. Other causes of shoulder pain include avascular necrosis, bone tissue deterioration due to low blood supply and a brachial plexus injury, a case of a stress or tear in the nerves that communicate between the spine and shoulder area.
At Back to Health, Dr. Griffin and Dr. De Sesa specialize in a variety of techniques aimed at alleviating nagging pains and increasing mobility to aching shoulders. After correctly identifying the source of the pain, they employ extensive mobility stretches and exercises aimed to release tension to the area and increase blood flow. If the issue stems from subluxations (spinal misalignment), a full spine and body approach will be taken over an isolation treatment. It is important to remember to practice proper technique with and without doctor supervision. Physical health is after all a full time endeavor. Taking home these exercises and executing them regularly will lead to a stronger and more resilient shoulder.
