Chiropractor shoulder adjustment Cairns can be utilised to help treat frozen shoulder, which is also known as adhesive capsulitis. The symptoms for this condition include stiffness and pain in your shoulder, which sometimes increases at night and can disturb sleep patterns. This generally starts slowly but continues to worsen over time, if left untreated.
What causes adhesive capsulitis? It occurs when the connective tissue (called the shoulder joint capsule) that encases and supports your bones, ligaments and tendons, becomes stiff, inflamed and thickens. As this happens it becomes tighter, restricts movement (hence ‘frozen’ shoulder) and causes pain.
Chiropractic shoulder adjustment Cairns offers a natural and drug free way to help relieve inflammation, and restore appropriate nerve function, which may help relieve the symptoms of adhesive capsulitis.
Bursitis can be a very painful condition which can occur in your shoulder, hip and elbow. This is sometimes known as the sportspeople injury, or cricket injury, as it’s caused by repeated pressure and frequent use of that particular joint in a particular motion (such as bowling). However, we’ve also had carpenters and avid gardeners present with shoulder pain caused by bursitis.
So, what causes the pain? There are small, fluid-filled sacs that cushion the bones, tendons and muscles near joints. They are called bursae and when they become inflamed and painful, then you are suffering from bursitis. Symptoms may include but are not limited to, pain, stiffness and limited range of motion.
Chiropractic bursitis treatment recognises the body’s own natural healing abilities, providing a drug free option for injury management and recovery. Adjustments may provide pain relief and improve mobility. We will also assess spine alignment and assist the restoration of appropriate nerve function.
