Shoulder Pain Treatment in Montvale, and Closter, NJ

Shoulder pain can be caused by various medical conditions, including rotator cuff pathology, impingement syndrome, labral tears, bursitis, AC joint arthritis/separation injuries, tendinopathy, and fractures. These causes are typically due to overuse or a traumatic event.

Shoulder pain can vary in intensity, but the most common sensation is a dull ache that radiates down the arm. Other symptoms may include difficulty sleeping on the affected side, localized tenderness and swelling, limited range of motion, and difficulty lifting heavy objects or performing other activities.

At The Spine and Health Corp, we offer a comprehensive shoulder pain treatment plan that includes physical therapy, medications, corticosteroid injections (for joint inflammation), and in some cases surgery if necessary. Our team also works with you to develop an appropriate home exercise program for you to do at your own pace.

If shoulder pain is left untreated, it can lead to further complications and cause more serious issues. These issues may include chronic instability, increased risk of re-injury, decreased range of motion, muscle weakness, and fatigue. Therefore, it is important to seek medical care early on for the best chance at a successful treatment plan.

The best way to prevent reinjury is to follow the treatment plan that your doctor develops for you. This includes taking all medications as prescribed, participating in physical therapy, and performing the exercises at home, to strengthen the muscles around your shoulder joint.  Additionally, it is important to avoid activities that put too much strain on your shoulder until it has had time to heal properly. If you are unsure of what exercises or activities are safe for you to do, always consult with a doctor before engaging in them.

Yes, chiropractic care can be beneficial for shoulder pain. Chiropractic adjustments are designed to reduce joint restrictions in the cervical spine, which can result in improved shoulder mobility and decreased muscle tension. Additionally, chiropractors may also provide therapeutic exercises that focus on strengthening the muscles around the shoulder joints as well as addressing any underlying postural issues that could contribute to your shoulder pain condition.

Chiropractic care works by adjusting and manipulating the joints of the body, specifically focusing on the spine. This allows the chiropractor to reduce imbalances in joint movements or restrictions that can cause pain. The adjustment helps restore normal joint mobility and reduces inflammation. Chiropractors may also use other treatments such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, soft tissue mobilization, or joint taping to help reduce symptoms.

The time it takes for shoulder pain to heal depends on the severity and type of injury. It is important to follow your treatment plan as prescribed by your doctor or physical therapist. This will help ensure a successful recovery and reduce the risk of further injury. Most mild cases of shoulder pain can be resolved within weeks with proper treatment, while more severe cases may take months to heal fully.
