Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can have a negative impact on your everyday life. Not only are you struggling with pain, but your routine poses some difficulty. To return to your daily life, you need pain relief. Our Advantage Spine and Disc chiropractor in Boise, ID, can help you find the pain relief you need. Here are some ways to manage your shoulder pain.

Exercise

While it might seem like moving your shoulders will worsen the symptoms, exercise is essential to managing your pain. You should exercise every day. If you’re not exercising already, start slowly. Walking each day can help you get in some good movement for your heart. Then incorporate exercises that target the muscles in your shoulders. If you’re unsure how to do so safely, talk to our chiropractor. While you need to listen to your body and not push too hard, you must keep moving to keep your heart and muscles healthy.

Massage

A massage can provide quick relief from your shoulder pain. Shoulder pain is often caused by damage or inflammation in your shoulder muscles. Our massage therapists can use their hands to release tension and promote healthy circulation through the tissue. As the pressure is eased, your pain will diminish. Regular massages can also help with stress management, reducing the tension in your shoulders. All of these things together will help with shoulder pain.

Trigger Point Therapy

Our chiropractor might also suggest trigger point therapy to help reduce your pain. Trigger point therapy targets specific points of the body to release tension and improve movement. Our chiropractor might also incorporate other techniques and equipment in the office to speed up recovery.

You’ll likely have assignments between sessions, so you must follow your chiropractor's instructions and do these exercises at home. These exercises will ensure you develop good habits and keep up the mobility in your limbs. In addition, this promotes faster healing, which will eliminate your pain.
