Arm and shoulder pain can significantly hinder your daily activities, making simple tasks like reaching, lifting, or even typing difficult. Whether it’s caused by an injury, poor posture, repetitive strain, or underlying medical conditions, it’s important to address the root cause of the pain for lasting relief.
At Battersea and Chelsea Chiropractic, we specialize in treating arm and shoulder pain with non-invasive, tailored chiropractic care that restores mobility and reduces discomfort.
Common Causes of Arm and Shoulder Pain
Understanding the cause of your arm and shoulder pain is crucial to finding the right treatment. Here are some of the most common conditions that lead to pain in these areas:
Shoulder Pain:
Rotator Cuff Injuries: Damage to the muscles or tendons in the shoulder, often caused by repetitive overhead motions or trauma.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): Stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint that limits movement, often linked to inflammation and scar tissue formation.
Shoulder Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa (a fluid-filled sac) in the shoulder, usually due to repetitive motion or trauma.
Shoulder Impingement: When the tendons of the rotator cuff become irritated and inflamed due to compression from nearby structures.
Arm Pain:
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Pain on the outer elbow caused by overuse and repetitive motion of the forearm muscles.
Golfers Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Inflammation on the inside of the elbow, often due to repetitive motions that strain the muscles and tendons.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the median nerve in the wrist, causing numbness, tingling, and weakness in the arm and hand.
Nerve Impingements: Compression of nerves along the spine, particularly in the neck, can radiate pain down the arm.
At Battersea and Chelsea Chiropractic Clinic, we take a holistic approach to diagnosing and treating arm and shoulder pain by addressing both the symptoms and underlying causes.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Relieve Arm and Shoulder Pain
Chiropractic care is a proven, drug-free approach to treating back pain. Chiropractors focus on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those affecting the spine. Using gentle spinal adjustments, chiropractic techniques can help alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility. Some of the chiropractic treatments we offer for back pain include:
Chiropractic care provides a drug-free, non-surgical solution to treating arm and shoulder pain. By focusing on spinal alignment, soft tissue health, and posture, we can help alleviate pain and restore function. Here’s how we treat arm and shoulder pain:
Spinal and Joint Adjustments
Misalignments in the spine, particularly in the neck and upper back, can affect the nerves that control arm and shoulder movement. Chiropractic adjustments can realign the spine and release pressure on the nerves, helping to alleviate pain and restore normal movement.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Chronic muscle tension and tightness in the muscles surrounding the shoulder and arm can exacerbate pain. Techniques such as myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and deep tissue massage help release muscle knots and improve blood circulation, reducing inflammation and relieving pain.
Postural Correction and Ergonomics
Poor posture can contribute to arm and shoulder pain, especially for those who sit for long periods or perform repetitive tasks. We assess your posture and provide corrective exercises and ergonomic recommendations to reduce strain on the shoulders and arms, preventing future pain.
Rehabilitation Exercises
We create personalized exercise programs to strengthen the muscles around your shoulders and arms, improve flexibility, and prevent further injuries. These exercises help restore normal function and support long-term recovery.
Nerve Mobilization Techniques
If nerve compression is causing your arm pain, we use gentle nerve mobilisation techniques to help relieve irritation and reduce symptoms like tingling, numbness, and weakness.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Arm and Shoulder Pain
Chiropractic care offers a variety of benefits when treating arm and shoulder pain:
Pain Relief: Chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapies reduce pain by improving joint mobility, reducing inflammation, and addressing nerve compression.
Restored Function: Chiropractic care helps restore normal range of motion in the shoulder and arm, making it easier to perform daily activities and return to sports or exercise.
Non-Invasive: Chiropractic treatments are non-invasive and avoid the need for medication or surgery, making them a safer, more natural alternative.
Long-Term Healing: By focusing on the root cause of the pain, chiropractic care provides long-term solutions that reduce the likelihood of future injuries.
Personalised Treatment: Each treatment plan is tailored to your specific condition, ensuring that you get the most effective care for your needs.
What to Expect During Your First Visit
When you visit Battersea and Chelsea Chiropractic Clinic for the first time, you will undergo a comprehensive consultation and physical examination to assess the cause of your back pain. Based on this assessment, your chiropractor will explain your diagnosis and recommend a personalized treatment plan designed to meet your goals.
If chiropractic care is appropriate for your condition, we will begin your treatment during your first visit. Many patients experience noticeable relief after just one or two sessions, but longer-term results often require consistent care and at-home exercises to improve your posture and strengthen supporting muscles.
