Shoulder and Arm Pain

Shoulder and Arm Pain is not a common issue that chiropractors see, but it’s something we can help with. The Shoulder and Arm is a versatile structure that needs to maintain a huge degree of mobility to perform their main functions. We rely on the Shoulder and Arm for tasks that required a lot of accuracy, strength and mobility, such as throwing, writing, and building.

If it isn’t treated?

if left untreated, the pain may worsen, the Shoulder and Arm may get stiffer and more restricted. Movement can become painful, and clicking and crunching sounds can begin to develop. At its worst, it may start to refer to nerve pain down the arm and lead to weakness. It can be highly incapacitating when the Shoulder and Arm lose their flexibility and strength and it may have a huge impact on your ability to carry out any work-related task like typing, overhead work or pointing.
