  • Arthritis
  • Instability

When to Turn to a Chiropractor

When people think of chiropractic care they often think of the spine; however, a chiropractor is able to adjust all areas of the body, from the spine and neck to the extremities and even the smallest joints within the shoulders and toes.

When you come into our chiropractic office in Broken Arrow for care we will run diagnostic tests and a thorough physical exam to determine the cause of your shoulder pain. In many cases we will be able to make a diagnosis through a series of orthopedic tests and by talking to you about your symptoms; however, imaging tests may be necessary for a proper diagnosis.

From there, we can create a treatment plan that will work best for you based on your symptoms and the cause of your shoulder problems. Chiropractic adjustments can help realign certain tendons, ligaments, and joints within the shoulder to improve how they function, to reduce inflammation and pain, to boost blood flow (which facilitates faster healing) and to enhance mobility and range of motion.

Other treatment options include Adjustments, Electrotherapy, Low-level laser therapy and Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM). Sometimes these treatment options may be recommended in conjunction with chiropractic adjustments to provide faster and more effective relief.
