Relief Starts at Performance Sport & Spine

Performance Sport & Spone offers personalized treatments using advanced, evidence-based practices and techniques. Our goal is to treat injuries, pain, and movement issues through comprehensive care that targets the cause of the condition, not just its symptoms.

Identifying the Causes and Symptoms of Shoulder Pain

Numerous issues can cause shoulder pain.

Discomfort may cause your shoulder movements to become rigid or restricted. Additionally, your arm or shoulder may feel too weak to perform daily tasks, or the pain may worsen at night and spread down your arm.

Mild shoulder pain can occasionally be experienced after exercising or participating in sports. However, restricted shoulder movement, painful movement, and ongoing shoulder blade knots could indicate a more serious issue. If your afflicted joint seems malformed, the pain persists for more than four weeks, or the swelling or pain is too severe, get medical help.

Innovative Treatments for Lasting Relief

For mild discomfort, icing your shoulder and using over-the-counter medication may be helpful. However, shoulder pain can also be effectively treated holistically. Physical therapy and chiropractic care, which employs manual adjustments to increase range of motion and reduce pain, are among them.

Another cutting-edge treatment for issues like frozen shoulder or knots that result in excruciating muscle tension is dry needling. In order to help the soft tissue loosen and heal, a Dr. Creech or Dr. Nothold will carefully insert sterile, thin needles into the affected area. Among the advantages of dry needling are:

Better performance of the muscles
Increased mobility in the shoulders
Pain alleviation

Performance Sport & Spine provides personalized care. By increasing shoulder flexibility and releasing tense muscles, we hope to deliver long-lasting relief.

The Role of Targeted Chiropractic Care in Healing

One of the best ways to take control of your healing and recovery process is to visit with our doctors for a full exam. Anything from shoulder pain to other issues can be addressed by chiropractic adjustments.

Chiropractic care is a comprehensive, non-invasive method of treating shoulder pain, in contrast to surgeries and prescription drugs. Chiropractic adjustments can improve your quality of life by addressing the underlying causes of pain, discomfort, and restricted range of motion.

We at Performance Sport & Spine are aware of the advantages and practicality of chiropractic adjustments in the management of shoulder pain. Our medical professionals provide thorough, individualized treatment programs. Exercise therapy and different muscle release techniques are examples of possible treatments.

Preventing Shoulder Pain With Lifestyle Adjustments

Posture, particularly for people who use computers or desks for work on a regular basis, can play a major factor in shoulder pain. One way to avoid shoulder pain is to improve your posture.

The ergonomic advice listed below will help you continue to be productive at your desk without experiencing shoulder issues:

Maintain eye-level computer screens.
When at your desk, make sure your hands and elbows are at a 90-degree angle.
Take brief rest periods to support healthy muscles and spines.

By making these adjustments to your work life, you will experience fewer shoulder issues. Your posture will improve, lowering your chance of developing shoulder blade knots. Regularly stretching your neck joints and pectoralis major muscle will also help.
