Causes of Shoulder Pain

Dr. Pete Lazarnick has years of experience helping Carrollton, GA, residents manage shoulder pain issues. His first step is addressing what caused the pain and helping manage your suffering to ensure you're happy. By fully understanding the underlying causes of serious pain, you can ensure you live a happy and comfortable life without unnecessary suffering.

Rotator Cuff Injuries

The rotator cuff is a collection of muscles and tendons in your shoulder that help it operate correctly. Unfortunately, strain in this area can cause real pain and require physical therapy and chiropractic care. Often, these injuries occur in many ways to trigger pain throughout the shoulder.

Problems as diverse as rotator cuff tears, tendonitis, bursitis, and even shoulder impingement syndrome can cause long-term pain that refuses to go away. You may even develop a frozen shoulder, which makes it nearly impossible to move your shoulder. Thankfully, Dr. Pete can help with these issues.

Neck and Back Problems

While rotator cuff injuries are the most common cause of shoulder pain in Carrollton, GA, neck and back conditions may contribute. For example, cracked or ruptured spinal columns can cause extensive pain that rapidly spreads into your shoulder. Chiropractors can help manage this issue in many ways.

For instance, they can decrease your neck and back problems and stabilize your spinal cord. They can also provide hands-on care for improving your shoulder's strength and stability. In this way, you get a whole-body recovery that minimizes unnecessary suffering and improves your overall health.

Other Issues That May Contribute

While the problems listed above trigger most shoulder issues, many other conditions can cause severe pain. These vary depending on your overall health and other factors. Just a few concerns that you need to watch for that could cause pain your shoulder include:

  • Shoulder osteoarthritis, which can cause a deep ache in your shoulder
  • Calcific tendonitis, which is caused by calcium deposits in the tendons
  • Arthritis in the shoulder, including rheumatoid arthritis
  • Avascular necrosis or a lack of blood flow to the shoulder

Thankfully, a chiropractor like Dr. Pete can help with these issues. He can address the underlying problems, create a healthy treatment plan, and ensure that you're pain-free. Steps like chiropractic adjustments, massages, and deep-tissue therapy may help you recover more successfully.
