Shoulder Pain Treatment with Chiropractic Adjustments

Estero, Bonita Springs Chiropractic Very Beneficial for Shoulder Issues

According to research, around 5 percent of the population will experience painful issues like frozen shoulder syndrome at some point in their lives. That makes shoulder pain a common problem and one that Dr. Green sees in our Estero, Bonita Springs clinic on a regular basis.

Research Supports Chiropractic Treatment Helps With Shoulder Pain

By and large, this problem is more common for people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, and it tends to affect women more often than men. While ice, heat, and gentle stretching can sometimes help lessen the pain, so too can chiropractic care.

As an example, a study published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine looked at 50 patients with frozen shoulder who received chiropractic care. The duration of care varied from 11 days to 51 days, with 28 days being the average.

The researchers found that almost all of the patients fared extremely well with chiropractic care. The study found:

8 of the subjects reported 50-75 percent improvement
25 indicated improvement ranging from 75- 90 percent
1 participant had complete resolution of their frozen shoulder pain

Only one of the original 50 reported an improvement of 50 percent or less, so studies like this demonstrate just how beneficial chiropractic care can be when it comes to decreasing shoulder pain and improving quality of life.
