Shoulder Pain Treatment in Safety Harbor, FL

The shoulder joint is the most mobile joint in the body and it’s quite common for it to become impaired due to inflammation, overuse, degeneration, or tears or fractures to the bones, muscles, or tendons of the joint. If you’re dealing with shoulder pain, consult with Dr. Monte Venis at Back & Neck Pain Center for chiropractic treatment to help relieve your discomfort.

How to Treat Shoulder Pain

Your consultation with Dr. Venis will include a discussion of your medical history and learning the details of your injury. He will then examine your shoulder condition. From there, imaging scans may be recommended to give Dr. Venis the full picture of your shoulder joint pain so that he can develop a comprehensive treatment plan.

There are many kinds of chiropractic treatments available to help relieve shoulder pain, including:

• Hands-on spinal manipulation – The most common chiropractic adjustment, this technique uses controlled pressure and high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts to realign the shoulder joint.
• Heat/cold therapy – This treatment restores blood flow to the shoulder joint and provides necessary pain relief. We can use hot and cold therapy together or just one type by itself.
• Ultrasound physical therapy – This therapy uses an ultrasound unit that vibrates rapidly, releasing a stream of energy that is gently massaged into the injured shoulder joint.
• Muscle massage therapy – With this treatment, Dr. Venis uses slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your shoulder joint’s muscles and connective tissues, effectively reducing tension in the shoulder.
