Shoulder & Arm Pain
What is Shoulder & Arm Pain?
The shoulder is a marvel of complex engineering, robust enough to withstand a seriously heavy-duty workload. Yet, when it encounters a problem, it can transform the simple act of hitting the snooze button from a morning nuisance into a full-contact sport. You might even find yourself mastering the art of the one-armed jacket twirl— the list of challenges can seem endless.
Sometimes the shoulder conspires with other body parts, with the elbow often seemingly becoming one of its ‘partners in crime’. In such cases, symptoms in the elbow, arm or even hand can play a frustrating game of ‘now you see me, now you don’t’. When they do manifest, you might find that the idea of shaking hands instead turns into an awkward nod, or your high-fives have turned into a ‘limp low two’.
Tackling the shoulder and its ‘co-conspirators’ is no small task, but we are adept at deciphering and managing the frustrating smorgasbord of symptoms that stem from a wide variety of shoulder complaints. For a more detailed insight into some of the symptoms and causes of shoulder and arm dysfunction check out ‘Function & Flourish’ our website blog.
But— and it’s a big but, the intricacies of the shoulder joint mean effective treatment often requires both time and effort. That’s why our initial aim when evaluating your shoulder or your arm is ensuring you are clear on the mechanics behind the problem. If you understand clearly what the problem is, you are in a much stronger position to maximise the benefits of your treatment plan and avoid further irritation.
Utilising our experience and knowledge, we will work closely with you to create a treatment strategy tailored specifically around you and your lifestyle. Our goal is to restore as much functionality to your shoulder and surrounding structures as quickly as possible. That said, your active participation is a crucial factor in that success. Therefore, as part of our commitment to you, we also want to ensure our services align with your needs and circumstances. If our partnership isn’t suitable for you at this moment, we will inform you promptly and provide guidance on any next steps if necessary— this also includes referring you for any specialist tests or imaging studies.
If you’re seeking a chiropractor with the experience to offer bespoke, practical care for relief from either shoulder or elbow dysfunction, we are just a click or a call away.
