CHIROPRACTIC FOR SHOULDER PAIN IN CHARLOTTE
Shoulder pain treatment in Charlotte is offered through Proactive Chiropractic & Rehab Center. The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body. It is also the one that can experience the most damage, given that is the workhorse, handling everything from lifting heavy objects to throwing the winning touchdown in a high school football game.
If you are suffering from shoulder pain, chiropractic care and physiological therapies will help. Dr. Khlebopros offers shoulder pain chiropractic treatment and has worked with hundreds of patients who have suffered from a variety of shoulder problems and has a solid track record of restoring mobility and decreasing or eliminating pain.
If you suffer from shoulder pain, it’s important to see a doctor who understands the anatomy of the region, which is extremely complex. The shoulder is composed of four tendons, often called rotator cuffs, that stabilize the upper arm bone to the shoulder socket and allow the should itself to have its amazing range of motion.
Because of its complexity and the stresses that are placed on it, you may be experiencing difficulty carrying objects, using your arms normally, raising your arms above your shoulders or have pain, even when resting.
These are all signs of problems that can be successfully treated by chiropractor, Dr. Khlebopros, including bursitis, tendonitis, rotator cuff or labral tear, a frozen shoulder, as well as more serious injuries, such as a shoulder separation, dislocation or general instability that is caused by a loose joint.
