Shoulder pain can greatly disrupt your quality of life and can get progressively worse, so it’s important to treat it right away. Let’s take a look at some of the causes of shoulder pain and also how patients can address it.
Some of the Many Causes of Shoulder Pain Explained
Your shoulders are complex systems made up of a variety of bones, muscles, and other tissues. These various issues can be damaged in all sorts of ways. Common causes include personal and workplace accidents, strain due to improper lifting techniques, sports injuries, and using furniture that offers poor ergonomics.
In general, the human body is tough but also has its limits. If muscles are strained or tissues are knocked out of their proper alignment and place, it can result in chronic shoulder pain. The good news is that you can get shoulder pain treatment in Reading or Western Hills, Cincinnati, Ohio, by working with Dr. Dhaliwal.
Shoulder Pain Treatment
Should you find yourself suffering from a sore shoulder, you’ll first want to reduce any additional stress on your muscles, joints, and other tissues. If you’re moving stuff around in the garage, for example, and feel tightness in your shoulder or back getting worse, it’s time to take a break. If you push yourself, your injury could get much worse.
Rest and over-the-counter pain medication can provide temporary relief, but there’s a high chance that further treatment will be needed. Even if you seem fine today or tomorrow, you may suddenly experience shoulder pain the next time you try using it. The good news is that chiropractic care can help.
Dr. Dhaliwal can work directly with your muscles, spine, and other tissues to relieve muscle tension and ensure that everything is in proper alignment. Advanced treatments and techniques, like electrical muscle stimulation and cold laser therapy, can be used to harness and direct the body’s natural healing processes as well. Medical acupuncture, inspired by ancient Chinese practices but refined with modern medical knowledge, can also be used to address shoulder pain. These treatments, along with therapeutic exercises and stretches, could also reduce the risk of future injuries.
