Suffering from Shoulder Pain
Because the human shoulder complex is arguably the most mobile joint in the body, it is subject to a spectrum of injuries and conditions. The causes of shoulder pain are seemingly endless, but the most common reasons for that pain include neck and upper back problems, arthritis in the shoulder, abnormal motor patterns causing unnatural motion, athletic events, and auto accidents.

There are a broad set of reasons that shoulder pain can happen, and it can come on gradually or quite suddenly. Sing the shoulder joint is used in the majority of daily activities, any injury in this area should be taken seriously and treated properly. Even minor injuries can render long- term consequences if not treated early enough.
Symptoms of shoulder injury can vary from person to person. Some symptoms that should be evaluated with urgency would be shoulder pain that last for longer than a week, or if shoulder pain comes and goes pretty frequently, pain or weakness when carrying objects, difficulty raising your arms over your head, shoulder pain that becomes more pronounced in the evenings, obvious signs of damage like bruising to the shoulder joint area, or if the shoulder joint pops or cracks during movement.
Of course, the treatment that is most effective is entirely dependent on the cause of the problem. That is why obtaining an accurate diagnosis is so important. Amarillo chiropractor, Dr. Kaci Roach will use information from your history, and advanced imaging to help determine the exact cause of your shoulder pain. She will create a personalized treatment plan based on that.
