Shoulder Pain

Chiropractic care can be beneficial in addressing shoulder pain by assessing and treating the underlying biomechanical issues that may be contributing to the discomfort. Chiropractors focus on restoring proper alignment and function to the shoulder joint, as well as the surrounding structures such as the spine, ribs, and muscles that may impact shoulder mechanics.

Through manual techniques like adjustments, mobilizations, and soft tissue therapies, chiropractors aim to reduce joint restrictions, improve range of motion, and alleviate muscle tension in the shoulder region. By addressing postural imbalances, muscle weaknesses, and joint dysfunctions, chiropractic care can help improve shoulder stability, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall shoulder function. Additionally, chiropractors may provide rehabilitative exercises, ergonomic recommendations, and lifestyle modifications to support long-term shoulder health, prevent future injuries, and promote optimal physical performance.

In the case of shoulder pain, PDTR targets specific dysfunctional proprioceptive reflexes associated with neuromuscular imbalances in the shoulder region. Through manual muscle testing and tailored interventions, PDTR aims to reset these aberrant reflex patterns and normalize neurological signaling pertaining to shoulder posture, movement, and muscle function. For instance, PDTR may address faulty muscle firing patterns in the rotator cuff muscles or enhance sensory feedback in the shoulder girdle to alleviate pain by addressing the root neurological issues contributing to the discomfort.
