Shoulder Pain Relief in Fargo
From overhead athletes who tax their shoulders while playing sports to laborers who routinely lift heavy objects, many people experience shoulder pain and injuries. What many people don’t realize is that chiropractors work not only on the spine, but also on the extremities, which of course, includes the shoulders.
Types of Shoulder Issues We See
At Fargo Moorhead Chiropractic and Wellness, we see shoulder issues that include impingement to the shoulders, rotator cuff tendinitis, and tears. For these individuals, they can’t lift overhead, and working out is difficult. Many patients experience shoulder and neck issues, so we want to address both.
What to Expect
During your exam, your chiropractor will evaluate your shoulder and see if there’s limited range of motion. If you have true shoulder pain in the joint itself, we can then use SoftWave therapy. This modality can have immediate results on people. About five minutes after receiving the therapy, they may experience full range of motion, where they were only limited to 60 or 70% of a full range of motion before the treatment.
A Patient Success Story
Brian, a boom truck operator who owns his own business, came in with bilateral shoulder pain, which prevented him from climbing up into the boom of his truck. The first day he came into the practice, he couldn’t even raise his arms to 90 degrees out to the side. He was just looking for any help he could get here.
Within 10 minutes of treatment, he almost touched his hands above his head. The patient was able to get in and out of his truck much easier, and wasn’t so miserable throughout the day either. We helped this self-employed patient get back to making his living, and he’s done great!
