Frequently Asked Questions About Shoulder Pain


What are Common Causes of Shoulder Pain?

  • Dislocated Shoulder - A dislocated shoulder occurs when the head of the humerus is dislocated or forced out of the shoulder joint in either an anterior or posterior position. This is most often due to trauma from sports injuries or because of age-related deterioration of the shoulder joint.
  • Shoulder Bursitis - Shoulder Bursitis is an inflammation of the small fluid-filled bursae (sac) that lies within the shoulder joint and which normally reduces friction within the joint. Shoulder bursitis is usually caused by overuse of the shoulder.
  • Frozen Shoulder - A frozen shoulder is a condition where the shoulder “freezes” and “locks up” with a subsequent severe decrease in range of motion of the shoulder in all directions. This causes pain and stiffness and can be due to debilitating conditions like a stroke or a mastectomy.
  • Rotator Cuff Injuries - Rotator cuff injuries occur when any of the 4 muscles of the rotator cuff and ligaments attaching these muscles to bone are torn. This is usually due to an acute injury or chronic overuse.
  • Tendonitis of the Shoulder - Tendonitis of the shoulder is caused by inflammation and swelling of the tendons in the shoulder which connect muscles to bones.

How Will the Cause of My Shoulder Pain be diagnosed?

At West Hartford Chiropractic we will use the latest in diagnostic techniques including digital cesium x-rays to diagnose the cause of your shoulder pain.

How Can Chiropractic Care Help Alleviate/Treat Shoulder Pain?

Chiropractic care can help alleviate shoulder pain by using gentle manual adjustments of the shoulder to decrease pain and resume normal alignment which allows for healing. Other modalities such as acupuncture, massage therapy, Reiki, cold laser treatments and various therapeutic exercises can also be used to reduce pain and increase range of motion and healing.
