Natural Relief for Shoulder Pain

Most people experience shoulder pain at some point in their lives. Many patients in Downtown Miami visit our chiropractic office seeking relief from a variety of shoulder problems. The good news is that a skilled shoulder pain chiropractor can effectively treat most causes of discomfort, restoring function and reducing pain naturally.

Causes of Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can result from multiple factors, including:

• Auto injuries or trauma

• Poor sleeping posture

• Bending over electronic devices or books

• Repetitive tasks such as mechanic work or heavy lifting

The cervical spine plays a critical role in shoulder health. Nerves from the brain travel through the lower cervical spine to form the brachial plexus, which controls the muscles and sensation of the shoulders and arms. Misalignments in the cervical spine can pinch these nerves, causing muscle imbalance, pain, and limited range of motion.

Related Conditions

Pinched nerves and muscle imbalances can contribute to:

• Rotator cuff tears

• Bursitis

• Arthritis

• Frozen shoulder

• Sprains and strains

Sometimes, shoulder pain can also be a referral symptom from internal organs, such as the heart, indicating the importance of a thorough evaluation.

Why Spinal Alignment Matters

The cervical spine should have a natural curve of approximately 65 degrees. Loss of this curve is linked not only to shoulder pain but also to other health complications. A complete spinal and shoulder evaluation, including orthopedic and neurological exams, is essential to identify the root cause of your pain.

The Role of Stress in Chronic Pain

Chronic stress and past trauma can create chemical imbalances in the body that worsen or perpetuate shoulder pain. Evaluating and addressing stress can be an important part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Techniques like Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) can help determine if stress contributes to chronic pain.
