When dealing with a shoulder injury minor or major, you may find how vitally affected day to day life is, as the shoulder is one of our most important body parts. The shoulder enables us to do a variety of things, and shoulder pain has its way of creating major limitations to perform simple tasks. It can affect things such as; getting dressed, daily exercise, playing sports, and even lifting your hands above your head to get dressed, which also leaves it more susceptible to damage and wear over time.

Chiropractic Care for Shoulder Injuries
For minor shoulder pain or injuries we use chiropractic care for relief. Chiropractic care is a combination of gentle manipulation, and specialized stretches to move the vertebrae back into correct alignment relieving any pressure that may be causing pain. This technique rarely causes any discomfort, with most patients experiencing immediate relief.
Regenerative Medicine For Severe Shoulder Injuries
When it comes to chronic shoulder pain or severe shoulder injuries we offer a non-surgical treatment called Platelet Rich Plasma therapy. PRP therapy is an all-natural injection option made from your own blood.
How PRP works:
- A sample of your own blood is taken in the office.
- The blood sample is placed into a centrifuge machine that spins at high volume separating the Platelet-Rich Plasma from the blood.
- Once the PRP sample is ready it is then injected into the site of pain and or injury.
- The high concentration of platelets is placed right at the site of the injury.
Many people turn to Platelet Rich Plasma for chronic conditions and older injuries that have not responded to other care. If you or a loved one are suffering from a shoulder injury contact our office today to schedule a free consultation.
