Shoulder pain includes any pain around the shoulder area. It could also originate from the joint or from any ligaments, muscles, or tendons that surround the shoulder. The pain generally gets worse when the shoulder or arm moves.
The shoulder is consists of a ball and socket joint that can move in many directions. The ball and joint features are great for the arms because it gives a wide range of motions. However, it does make the joints more prone to injury. Are you in need of a Sacramento chiropractic doctor?
Shoulder pain happens when you are sleeping in the wrong position or overusing the shoulder muscles. Many other reasons cause shoulder pain. Some are very serious and may need assessment by a professional. People want relief from severe pain, which is normal. What are these critical reasons?
It is essential to treat shoulder pain. The best place towards recovery is to start by finding out what is causing it. This requires a professional who knows where to look and how to find the underlying causes. Dr. Donald Erwin of Body Balance Spinal Care, a Sacramento chiropractic doctor, may be able to help you with your concerns.
Upper cervical chiropractors have extensive experience and success in treating patients suffering from shoulder pain. We understand that because the head is quite heavy, it weighs 12-14 lbs. That is roughly the weight of a bowling ball.
If the head is not positioned on the body properly due to a misalignment in the neck area, it can cause a significant total of health problems. This may cause the body to shift and compensate for the misalignment, affecting the person’s posture. The next series of compensations can further affect the shoulders. However, once the misalignment is corrected, the body begins to heal, and annoying shoulder pain may be a thing of the past!Set an appointment with Dr. Erwin to start benefiting from upper cervical chiropractic care.
As a Sacramento upper cervical chiropractor, I help patients suffering from any pain, including aches in their shoulders. Shoulder pain can occur without warning. Most people do not think about their shoulders until they start to hurt. Then they wish they could have done more to take care of them.
Many factors can bring about shoulder pain. Some of them include the following:
Doctors often suggest anti-inflammatory or over-the-counter pain relievers to patients with shoulder pain. Medications help in reducing the pain. However, their effects are temporary. Shoulder pain will most likely return until the root cause of the problem is corrected.
In many cases, shoulder pain is due to misalignments of the spine. Poor posture and body mechanics are also culprits. If one of your shoulders is slightly higher than the other side, it may mean that your posture is incorrect. An upper cervical chiropractor can help in bringing relief to your shoulder pain.
Upper cervical chiropractic care can help examine your neck closely to see if a neck misalignment is causing your shoulder pain. The C1 and C2 vertebrae in the neck are prone to misaligning. This unique form of care uses scientific measurements and x-rays to identify the exact location of your misalignment. It is both gentle and precise to encourage the bones of the neck to realign naturally.
As a Sacramento upper cervical chiropractor, I can confirm that this is a safe method. Only low force is used in every adjustment, and it does not involve popping or cracking of the bones. Many of my patients have vouched for upper cervical chiropractic as nearly all of them have seen improvements in their shoulder pain and other health issues after receiving my care.

Shoulder pain usually happens suddenly. Usually, the one experiencing pain doesn’t realize their shoulder is even damaged. In most cases, the pain is the result of a worsening of a condition or injury that may have originally occurred several years in the past. The reason for this is overuse of the joint or just repeated movements of that area. Here are a few more specific reasons for shoulder pain:
Many cases of shoulder pain and injury have been connected to the slightest misalignment in the upper vertebrae of the neck. Misalignment in this area of even ¼ of a millimeter can disrupt the communication process of the body, resulting in the possibility of a variety of health problems. The misalignment also causes the rest of the body to compensate to maintain balance. This compensation can affect the entire spine, and other major joints such as the hips and shoulders.
At Body Balance Spinal Care, we apply a gentle adjustment method that encourages the bones to settle back into proper alignment. We do not need to twist or crack the spine, but instead we allow the bones to shift into place naturally. After alignment is restored, proper communication between the brain and body can resume, and damaged tissues and muscles in the shoulder area and neck begin to repair. Very often our patients report great improvement in their shoulder pain after receiving upper cervical chiropractic care.

For people who live with shoulder pain, they may dream of a day without pain. One reality of life for them is that if their shoulder acts up throughout the night, they didn’t just lose a night of sleep, but their next day is a struggle as well. Why does shoulder pain happen to certain individuals? How can it be prevented, or what can people do to cope with it?
Here are few of the common reasons for pain in the shoulders:
The top two vertebrae of the neck that are located just under the base of the skull are particularly susceptible to misalignment. This can progress into a number of chronic conditions over time as the misalignment adds stress on the nerves, the brainstem, and blood vessels. This displacement of the vertebrae can also be a factor in cases of improper posture because it increases pressure on the neck and shoulders. When the vertebrae are out of alignment, the rest of the body often tries to compensate and ends up uneven or unbalanced too.
An upper cervical chiropractor is able to determine whether there is a misalignment and a need for readjustment. When the vertebrae are encouraged back in place using a gentle adjustment method, the pressure is released from the affected structures. At that point, the body can begin to heal itself, and the rest of the body parts that were unbalanced can start to return to their proper alignment and range of motion.
Anyone with shoulder pain could benefit from this form of chiropractic care. By correcting the misalignment, the shoulder pain can decrease and sometimes will continue healing over time. If you have not found an adequate solution for your shoulder pain, call us for a complimentary consultation. This natural and gentle method could be the very thing to bring your body the relief it needs.

What sort of shoulder pain are you experiencing? Are you feeling weakness in the shoulder? Do you have numbness or tingling that reaches all the way down the arm? Is it a sharp, stabbing pain? Listed below are just a few common causes of shoulder pain:
When your shoulder itself is the underlying cause of the problem, therein lies the possibility of nerve irritation due to a misalignment in the neck. The nerves in your shoulder reach down the arm and to the hand. Therefore, any tingling, numbness or pain in the hand, arm, or shoulder could very well be related to a misalignment in the neck. If you have a history of head or neck trauma, you are more likely to have such a misalignment.
In order to address this underlying issue, we highly recommend you see an upper cervical chiropractor. We are trained to detect any misalignment that you have that could be causing nerve irritation. We begin the process of care with x-rays of the upper cervical area. Then we can begin gentle adjustments designed specifically for your needs.
Many patients have experienced great relief after just one adjustment. Even if this isn’t the case for you, it’s very important that you continue to seek and receive upper cervical care. The advantage you receive from upper cervical care is that the adjustments work better and last longer than general chiropractic. These adjustments are performed without the twisting, popping, or cracking involved in general chiropractic. This offers a more natural means of pain relief. As a result, the body has more time to heal from the nerve irritation, and pain relief can be more enduring.
