How is Shoulder Pain Diagnosed and Treated?
Dr. Blakely will begin by providing an initial consultation and evaluation of your shoulder pain symptoms, when you feel them the most, and how severe or painful they have become. As part of the examination, certain items will be evaluated such as:
Posture
Reflexes
Flexibility
Range of Motion
After the evaluation has been completed, if needed, Dr. Blakely will provide an x-ray examination of your spine to see if there are any spinal misalignments that are causing your shoulder pain. Depending on what these x-rays show, chiropractic treatment may be recommended as well as:
Heat and Cold Therapy
Stretching and Exercise
Chiropractic Adjustments
To help out with your shoulder pain treatments, Dr. Blakely will work with you to develop a "chiropractic wellness plan" to help improve the overall health of your body. This will also include pain management strategies, stretching and exercise techniques.
