Frequently Asked Questions about Shoulder Pain from Our Chiropractor

When you have the pain of any sort, it can interrupt your life. This pain is especially the case with shoulder pain, considering this is your most mobile joint, whether lifting, pushing, or playing golf, to name a few examples. Fortunately, our chiropractor at the Signature Wellness Center in Belleville and Fairfield, NJ, can assist through chiropractic care. Read below to understand more about your shoulder pain.

What Causes Shoulder Pain?

Over time, your degeneration can affect the shoulder and cause pain from wear and tear, particularly arthritis. In addition, you could damage the joint's muscles, ligaments, or other soft tissue as you're using your shoulder.

For some people, the pain may happen due to repetitive use. One example of a soft tissue injury that affects the shoulder is tendinitis. It occurs when a tendon in your shoulder becomes inflamed. For example, you could tear your rotator cuff (the muscles and tendons in the shoulder). When you pull one of these, you have a strain.

What Type of Testing Will Our Chiropractor Conduct?

At your appointment, before providing you with any pain relief solutions, our practitioner will first ask you to complete a complete medical history report. The information provided helps our chiropractor tailor a safe treatment for you and guides our chiropractor in the right direction when diagnosing your shoulder problem.

The next step of the appointment will consist of our practitioner asking you questions about your shoulder pain, including when it started, how often it occurs, the severity of the pain, and the type of pain.
