Chiropractic Care for Shoulder Tendonitis

Reduce Inflammation and Pain from Shoulder Tendonitis with Effective Treatments.

Understanding Shoulder Tendonitis

Shoulder tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendons in the rotator cuff or biceps. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that connect the upper arm bone (humerus) to the shoulder blade (scapula), playing a crucial role in shoulder movement and stability. Tendonitis in this area can cause significant pain and limit your ability to perform everyday activities.

Symptoms of Shoulder Tendonitis

Common symptoms of shoulder tendonitis include:

Pain: Sharp or aching pain in the shoulder, particularly when lifting or moving the arm.

Swelling: Inflammation and swelling around the shoulder joint.

Limited Mobility: Reduced range of motion and difficulty performing tasks that involve shoulder movement.

Weakness: Decreased strength in the shoulder and arm.

Overuse: Excessive use of the shoulder without adequate rest can lead to inflammation.

Injuries: Acute injuries, such as falls or direct impacts, can damage the tendons.

Poor Posture: Slouching or improper alignment of the shoulder can increase the risk of tendonitis.

Causes of Shoulder Tendonitis

Several factors can contribute to the development of shoulder tendonitis:

Repetitive Movements: Activities that involve repetitive shoulder motions, such as lifting, throwing, or swimming, can strain the tendons.

Chiropractic Treatment for Shoulder Tendonitis

Chiropractic care offers an effective, non-invasive solution for managing shoulder tendonitis. Our approach includes:

Spinal and Shoulder Adjustments:

Correcting misalignments in the spine and shoulder to restore proper function and reduce strain on the tendons.

Soft Tissue Therapy:

Techniques such as massage and myofascial release to alleviate muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

Ultrasound Therapy:

Using sound waves to increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and break down scar tissue in the affected tendons.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation:

Delivering controlled electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contraction, improve circulation, and relieve pain.

Heat and Ice Therapies:

Apply heat to relax muscles and enhance blood flow, and ice to reduce inflammation and numb acute pain.
