However, chiropractic care can help alleviate the pain and help you return to your normal routine quickly. At Weisbrod Chiropractic in Chandler, AZ, we offer a variety of treatments that are designed to reduce your symptoms and improve your health.
Symptoms of Shoulder Pain
As the most mobile joint in your body, the shoulder requires stability and mobility from its surrounding muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, bones, and joint capsules. When the shoulder is injured or irritated, you may experience a wide range of symptoms. Some of these symptoms include:
- Sore, achy, shooting, or throbbing
- Stiffness and reduced mobility
- Weakness, numbness, or tingling in the arm and hand
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Upper back pain
Causes of Shoulder Pain
Symptoms of shoulder pain can develop suddenly or gradually and are often associated with underlying conditions. Some causes of shoulder pain include the following:
- Muscle strains and ligament sprains
- Inflammation and swelling of tendons and bursae near the joint
- Shoulder dislocation
- Osteoarthritis
- Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder
- Pain that is referred to the shoulder from a pinched nerve in the neck, known as cervical radiculopathy
