CLINIC CORNER

When our Chiropractic clinic opened its doors for the first time in 2007, it was the first step in creating a truly integrated ‘health house’! From a tiny room off the personal training studio, we introduced our clients to the benefits of chiropractic care. Then as now, many of them were not aware that chiropractic covers head to toe treatment for all ages. Each month throughout the year, we will focus on a different part of the body and the conditions that may appear and how chiropractic can help treat them. Last month we talked about the causes and treatment of headaches, this month we move slightly below to the shoulder!

Our clinic regularly deals with issues related to the shoulder helping patients effectively treat shoulder pain by addressing misalignments, stiffness, and muscle imbalances. By using techniques like joint manipulation, soft tissue therapy, and specific exercises for the shoulder, neck, and spine they can help restore movement, reduce discomfort, and improve overall function. Focusing on the root cause, they provide a natural, non-invasive relief for issues from injury or poor posture, improving joint stability and preventing future problems. This makes chiropractic a good option for conditions like rotator cuff issues, frozen shoulder, arthritis, or tendinitis. 

How Chiropractors Help Shoulder Pain:
​

• Diagnosis: They assess the entire musculoskeletal system, not just the shoulder, to find contributing factors in your spine, neck, and posture.
• Manual Adjustments: Gentle, targeted manipulations restore proper movement to stiff spinal and shoulder joints.

• Soft Tissue Therapy: Techniques like pin and stretch release tight muscles and improve circulation.
• Rehabilitation: They provide personalized exercises and lifestyle advice to strengthen the shoulder and prevent recurrence. 

Common Causes They Address:

• Rotator cuff injuries (tendinitis, impingement, tears)
• Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
• Arthritis
• Instability or dislocation
• Postural strain and overuse 
  ​
  

What to Expect:

• Shoulder issues don’t always start with the shoulder, so our team will often assess on your whole body's mechanics to pinpoint the cause.
• From here, our tea, will use a combination of adjustments, therapies, and exercises for long-term relief.
• With this treatment plan in place, we would expect improved range of motion, reduced pain, and better strength. 

If you  are suffering with anything we mention above, please do get in touch.  Our 1st appointment is a full hour which includes treatment and is £75.00.
