Arm and Shoulder Pain Treatment
Arm and shoulder pain can be caused by many common issues such as arthritis, damaged cartilage, torn tendons or muscle, and bursa irritation. This results in joint pain and inflammation, which will commonly start in the shoulder and radiate down into the arm. Chiropractic manipulation has been proven to be extremely effective in alleviating people who suffer from these symptoms.
Chiropractic Arm and Shoulder Pain Treatment
According to a study on the
National Center of Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database, chiropractic treatment should be considered for chronic shoulder and arm pain prior to arthroscopic surgery. The study showed that with conservative chiropractic treatment and physical therapy that a patient could see a 75% improvement after only 4 chiropractic sessions.
Here at Cocke Chiropractic, we have seen very similar results when it comes to alleviating shoulder and arm pain. We have also found that many of our patients were very happy they came to see us first because we ended up saving them from having to go through a costly surgery.
