Specialized Care for Shoulder Discomfort
Understanding Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can significantly impact your daily life, affecting your ability to perform simple tasks like reaching, lifting, or even sleeping comfortably. Whether caused by injury, overuse, or conditions like rotator cuff tears or frozen shoulder, persistent shoulder pain can limit your range of motion and decrease your quality of life. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons reports that shoulder problems are common, with about 7.5 million people visiting the doctor for shoulder pain each year. According to the Mayo Clinic, early diagnosis and proper treatment can help prevent chronic shoulder issues and maintain optimal function.
At Health and Fitness Professionals, we offer a multidisciplinary approach to shoulder pain treatment. Our team of experts in acupuncture, chiropractic care, occupational therapy, and physical therapy work together to provide personalized treatment plans that address your specific shoulder concerns, helping you regain mobility, strength, and comfort in your daily activities.
Our physical therapists design customized exercise programs to strengthen the muscles supporting your shoulder, improve flexibility, and enhance overall stability. They may also use modalities like ultrasound or electrical stimulation to promote healing.
Our chiropractors use specialized techniques to address misalignments in the shoulder joint and surrounding areas. Chiropractic adjustments can help improve joint mobility and reduce discomfort.
Acupuncture can help alleviate shoulder pain by targeting specific points that reduce inflammation and promote healing. This technique is particularly effective for conditions like frozen shoulder and rotator cuff tendinitis.
Occupational therapists work with you to modify daily activities and work environments to reduce strain on your shoulder. They also provide strategies to improve shoulder function and prevent future injuries.
