Treating Impingement Syndrome Of The Shoulder

As you age shoulder problems become more prevalent. Up to 30% of the population has complained of shoulder pain in the past month. Impingement syndromes are one of the most common causations.

The shoulder is unique because it is a ball and socket joint. The way a shoulder moves is remarkable because of the vast amount of motion it has in all directions. This comes with negative consequences because it puts more strain on the connective tissue that stabilizes the shoulder joint. The tendons and ligaments can become calcified and create dysfunction and pain.

The more use that you put the shoulder through can cause this connective tissue to strain or rupture. This causes great discomfort. Regular activities can be a burden and even sleep can be difficult.

Physical and orthopedic testing can help determine what is causing the problem. X-Ray and MRI can also give you a proper diagnosis.

Surgery has not been the best course in most of these cases. Studies have shown that the modalities and techniques used by a Doctor of Chiropractic have shown to give a much more promising result.

Ask your chiropractor to explain what the best course of action might be. In most cases progress will be attained after a period of time with proper treatment. Understanding what is going on and how to deal with it is the first step to a positive recovery.

The shoulder is an amazing joint because of all the vectors that it can move through. Specific exercises will be recommended that address all the areas of the shoulder to help strengthen and stabilize it.

Mobilizing the area with specific chiropractic adjustment as well as soft tissue techniques will be performed to give you the greatest chance of healing.

Modalities such as low volt electric muscle stimulation as well as ultrasound therapy will be applied to break up any scar tissue or adhesions that may be restricting your shoulder’s function.
