Understanding Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can be particularly challenging, often because progress can be easily set back through everyday activities. Our shoulders are constantly in use—for example, when lifting a young child, putting on shoes, or making a cup of tea or coffee.
The shoulder is a highly mobile joint, which makes it more vulnerable to injury compared to more stable joints. It contains numerous soft tissues, including ligaments, tendons, and muscles, all of which can be affected by overuse or improper motion.
Effective Diagnosis and Recovery for Shoulder Pain
These structures work together to provide the strength and range of movement necessary for normal shoulder function, making accurate diagnosis more complex. The good news is that we have treated thousands of patients experiencing shoulder pain, and the majority have responded positively to care. Recovery can be a gradual process, but, as with all musculoskeletal conditions, the key to lasting improvement is identifying and addressing the underlying cause of the pain.
Comprehensive Assessment and Informed Care
To identify the root cause of your shoulder pain and provide the most effective treatment plan, we conduct a comprehensive and thorough assessment that ensures a complete understanding of your condition, its underlying causes, and how it affects your overall musculoskeletal health. This includes the following:
- Full Consultation with a Doctor of Chiropractic
- Thorough Examination, including Neurological, Orthopaedic & Blood Pressure Tests
- Spinal Scans
- Digital Foot Scans
- Postural Analysis
- X-Rays (if clinically indicated)
- Detailed Verbal Report of Findings, including a clear explanation of X-Rays
Following these assessments, you will have a complete understanding of your body and the specific issues causing your pain. Whether you choose to proceed with treatment is entirely your decision. If your care requirements fall outside our scope, we will recommend the most appropriate healthcare professional to ensure you receive the support you need.
