Reisterstown pain relief of shoulder injuries can be facilitated by a qualified chiropractor who is trained to assist patients with musculoskeletal issues. An injury of the shoulder joint can cause it to become misaligned, resulting in loss of mobility and pain during extension.
If this joint has become subluxated it means that the way the joint fits together has been altered. It can no longer move as it was designed to do, resulting in varying degrees of pain and discomfort for the patient. Strain placed on the joints during normal activity increases pain and may lead to a worsening of the problem.
Rather than dull the symptoms by taking pain medication that only offers temporary relief, patients can seek relief from a qualified chiropractor. A chiropractor is able to alleviate the symptoms of your pain and discomfort by using specific techniques of physical manipulation that focus on the cause of the problem.
An initial chiropractic consultation will involve you receiving a thorough medical examination to establish the nature of your injury along with the chiropractor delving into your medical history. He does this to gain a better understanding of the nature of your injury before selecting the most effective method for correcting the misalignment.
A chiropractic adjustment is normally painless and realigns the joint properly, so that the inflammation of the soft tissues in the surrounding area can subside naturally. This is a natural process that does not require the use of medication or surgery and the patient will notice first a dramatic improvement followed by the alleviation of any residual pain over the coming days that follow the initial adjustment.
Any residual pain will slowly fade away as your body heals itself. Aside from the adjustment, your chiropractor may well advise you to take a rest period after the adjustment or he may provide a series of strengthening exercises to aid in the healing of your shoulder.
