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:
- Inflammation from overuse
- Pinched nerves
- Instability of the shoulder joint
- Strains from overexertion
- Dislocation

Common Shoulder Pain Relievers
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 – A Natural Solution for 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.
