Common Questions about Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain is a common complaint with various causes, ranging from minor injuries to more serious underlying conditions. You probably have a few questions if you’re suffering from shoulder pain. Our Accident & Injury Center in Fayetteville, NC, answers the most common questions below.

Why do I have shoulder pain?

Shoulder pain can be caused by several factors, including rotator cuff injuries, tendonitis, bursitis, shoulder impingement, frozen shoulder, arthritis, shoulder dislocation, fractures, and referred pain from conditions like gallbladder disease or heart problems. This pain usually comes from a recent injury, such as a car accident.

Can chiropractic care help with shoulder pain?

Chiropractors treat issues with the back but address issues throughout the musculoskeletal system, including the shoulders. The first step in addressing shoulder pain is to determine what is causing the pain. Adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and more will eliminate the pain, restore the range of motion, and prevent the issue from returning.

Is there anything I can do at home?

Resting, icing your shoulder, and gentle movements can all help with tension, pain, and inflammation. Our team will also recommend gentle, targeted movements that will stretch and strengthen the target area, enhancing your recovery.

How long will it take to feel relief?

Recovery time can vary depending on the cause and severity of the shoulder pain. Minor injuries or inflammation may resolve within a few days to weeks with proper rest and conservative treatments. However, more serious conditions or injuries may require more extended periods of treatment and rehabilitation.
