Treatment for Shoulder Pain
When you see Dr. Martin, he will perform a thorough evaluation and consult with you about your symptoms. After he identifies the root cause of your shoulder pain, he can develop a treatment plan for your specific needs.
The shoulder joints are complex. Chiropractic care and treatments are designed to target these joints and the surrounding muscles, tendons and ligaments. We will utilize chiropractic adjustments, which corrects any misalignments, and improves your range of motion. If the shoulder muscles are tight or have pressure points in them, laser therapy or rapid release therapy can greatly help. Deep tissue massage therapy is available with our massage therapists on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Proper posture and core strength are essential for a healthy spine and strong shoulders. In addition to chiropractic treatments, Dr. Martin may recommend specific nutritional supports to help with your shoulder rehabilitation. He’ll also teach you some specific stretches and strengthening exercises for your shoulder muscles. You can implement these exercises into your daily routine to help you heal faster.
