Here at Binder Chiropractic in Statesville NC, we can provide safe, non-invasive shoulder pain treatment through a variety of methods and techniques.
The Many Ways Your Shoulder Can Hurt You
The shoulder joint relies on the interaction of multiple components, not just its ball-and-socket bone structure, for its ability to move and rotate freely. The set of muscles that actually move the shoulder, an arrangement known as the rotator cuff, are connected to the bones through tendons, with sacs called bursae keeping the structures from rubbing together. Inside the joint, cartilage prevents friction between the bones. Any of these components can be the source of shoulder pain. Common examples of painful shoulder condition include:
- Muscle strain and tendinitis - The tissues of the rotator cuff can become inflamed or even torn, making even the smallest motion painful. Strain injuries may occur all at once, or they may be the cumulative result of repetitive motion.
- Adhesive capsulitis - This condition, also known as frozen shoulder, is a stiffening of shoulder tissues that have spent a long time immobilized.
- Bursitis - Tendons rubbing against bursae can eventually cause the bursae to become painfully inflamed.
- Arthritis - Deteriorating cartilage in the shoulder joint can cause pain and stiffness.
- Dislocation - A serious impact in an auto, sports, or workplace accident can sometimes force the shoulder partially or completely out of joint.
- Referred pain - A pinched spinal nerve can sometimes refer pain to the shoulder.
