Shoulder and Arm Pain Chiropractic Treatment and Relief Options

Shoulder pain and arm pain often are a result of one another. Your shoulder (or GH joint) is the most moveable joint in the body. With all this range of motion occurring in the GH joint it is often the site of dysfunction and pain. The shoulder is composed of four rotator cuff muscles, which when working in harmony help keep the shoulder centrated in the socket. Any muscle imbalance in one of these four muscles causes abnormal joint motion and stress/strain to the soft tissues in the area often resulting in pain down the arm/into the hand, and trouble moving your arm overhead.

Abnormal motion of the shoulder/dysfunction causes forces and motion to be compensated for elsewhere in the body. This is often the cause of neck pain.
