Shoulder Pain Relief Accelerated By Chiropractic In Singapore

By Fernando Ketter


Shoulder problems (joint issues, pain, restricted movement) are easily one of the most common type of malady seen by chiropractors. It's been estimated that up to three-in-ten adults suffer with some kind of shoulder pain at any one time. With the help of a Singapore chiropractor sufferers can avoid potentially harmful pharmaceuticals and reduce their pain in a gentle, natural way.

One of the main benefits of the shoulder joint is also it's main weakness: flexibility. Its excellent range of motion has a downside in as much as the joint is less stable than other, less mobile joints. This inherent weakness combined with a sedentary lifestyle and poor postural habits can often lead to problems.

So-called frozen shoulder (or adhesive capsulitis to give it its medical name) stems from inflammation of the shoulder joint and is a common complaint for those seeking chiropractic care. Likewise, rotator cuff damage (issues with the shoulder muscles and tendons). Another common malady (known as impingement syndrome) arises when a tendon gets caught in the shoulder joint.

Fortunately, shoulder pain can be successfully alleviated when properly identified and attended to. The kind of procedures used very much depend upon a patient's particular problem. Chiropractors have a range of techniques at their disposal with the emphasis very much on getting to the root cause of pain.

Manipulation techniques can be used for unlocking stiff joints and restoring natural movement. Tense muscles can be relaxed with ultrasound, massage, heat penetration and other therapies. When these fundamentals are attended to, pain relief can often be very significant.

That said, it can take time to get the best results. While many patients experience a dramatic reduction in pain within 1-3 sessions, those with more complex issues may require more. However, all chiropractic care is gentle and natural and can save patients considerable time and money when compared to conventional approaches.
