Shoulder Pain Treatment
During your initial consultation, Dr. Blakely will perform a thorough examination of the shoulder. He will work to learn more about the pain you are experiencing, when it occurs, or what possible injuries you may have had in the past that could be the source for the shoulder pain. As part of the evaluation, we will check:
Posture
Reflexes
Flexibility
Range of motion
Once the evaluation is done Dr. Blakely will create a comprehensive treatment plan for you to help relieve your shoulder pain. This may involve a gentle non-invasive adjustment to your neck and back to help release any pressure that is causing the shoulder pain or irritation.
