Before starting treatment for shoulder pain, despite the
type of injury or condition, correcting the body’s ability to stabilize the
affected individual’s shoulder blades can help reduce symptoms. People who
frequently sit with a poor posture with their shoulders rounded and their neck
pushed forward while staring at a computer screen for an extended period of
time may often experience a much more painful shoulder injury. Shoulder blade
pinches are an effective and simple exercise that can help stabilize the
shoulders. First, you have to bring your shoulder blades together and down,
making sure you don’t move your arms and then, you hold that position for about
5 seconds. Approximately 30 shoulder blade pinches can help improve the
stability of the shoulders and relieve some of the symptoms.
Another treatment option for shoulder pain that can also be
used effectively for improving shoulder injury symptoms is elastic therapeutic
tape. The therapeutic tape is an elastic, cotton strip with an acrylic adhesive
that usually comes in a variety of colors. Although this product can be purchased
at a sporting goods store for personal use, using the therapeutic tape
improperly can render it ineffective. It’s recommended to seek a medical
professional who specializes in the accurate use and placement of elastic
therapeutic tape. If properly applied, the elastic therapeutic taping method
can greatly benefit an individual’s shoulder injury or condition and help
alleviate shoulder pain and other symptoms.
Finally, chiropractic treatment can be an effective
treatment option for many types of shoulder injuries and conditions as well as
help keep the symptoms away for good. The shoulder is considered the most
mobile joint in the human body, surrounded by a complex system of muscles,
tendons, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels. Even with all the different
tissues supporting the shoulder joint, it can shift out of alignment and cause
the other structures within the shoulder to function incorrectly. According to
the individual’s symptoms, shoulder adjustments and manual manipulations can be
performed by a chiropractor to slowly shift it in its proper placement.
Additionally, the chiropractor can also adjust the neck and upper back to further
help relieve shoulder pain and discomfort. Regular chiropractic care for a shoulder injury or condition can ultimately restore an individual’s natural
body functions.
