Common Questions About Shoulder Pain Relief

Back pain and shoulder pain are both common reasons for a doctor’s visit. Unfortunately, many patients turn to their primary care physician who verifies they don't have any serious injuries and advises them to rest, stretch, and take over the counter anti-inflammatory medicines. If the pain doesn't go away after a week, most practitioners will refer the patient to a physical therapist or a chiropractor. The good news is at Reed Chiropractic Clinic in Solon, we can treat your back pain and help reduce future injuries.

The Causes of Shoulder and Back Pain

There are dozens of ways to hurt your back and shoulders. A common reason is improper workstation ergonomics. For example, a computer chair that's too low, a keyboard that's too high, or a monitor that's too far away can easily through your back out of whack. Additionally, many people injure themselves playing recreational sports and hitting the gym a little too hard or with the wrong techniques. Another example is examining what you carry throughout the day. Students with heavy backpacks and professionals lugging around laptops and heavy briefcases are at risk of developing shoulder issues.

Our Chiropractor Can Help Treat Shoulder and Back Pain

Chiropractic treatment involves non-invasive pain management techniques. The most common techniques include chiropractic adjustments for vertebral alignment, spinal decompression therapy, soft tissue massage, cold laser treatment, and complimentary recommendations for exercises that help rebuild and strengthen muscles.

It's essential to work on ways to prevent these injuries from reoccurring. Make sure you have the right setup at work with your desk, chair, and computer to reduce neck, back, and shoulder strain. In addition, if you're dragging around a heavy backpack or briefcase, find a way to reduce your load or distribute it in a way that doesn't put too much pressure on your body.
