Shoulder Pain:
Symptoms & Diagnosis

It's important to keep a close eye on all symptoms related to a shoulder injury or condition, as some may be more severe than others. If you experience any of the following symptoms, seeking an evaluation for your shoulder complex is strongly advised: shoulder pain lasting more than a week, frequent occurrences of shoulder pain that disappears and then returns, difficulty lifting your arm above your head, pain or difficulty when carrying objects, shoulder joint pain that intensifies in the evening, any visible signs of damage to the joint, such as swelling or bruising, or any unusual clicking or snapping sensations in the joint during movement.


Like many conditions, the appropriate treatment for shoulder pain depends on the root cause. That's why receiving an accurate diagnosis is essential to the evaluation process. At Elm Chiropractic in Elmhurst, our chiropractors are well-equipped and trained in a variety of diagnostic techniques to determine the cause of your shoulder pain. They will gather clinical information from your history, perform advanced imaging procedures, and utilize orthopedic tests to pinpoint the exact cause of your discomfort. With this information, they can create a personalized treatment plan designed to address your specific needs.

Chiropractic Care
Treatment Options

Shoulder pain is a common condition that can have various causes, and finding the right treatment depends on the underlying issue. At Elm Chiropractic, we believe that chiropractic care can be an effective option for most shoulder conditions. Our chiropractors will first evaluate your spine, particularly the neck region, which is where the muscles and structures that control the shoulder joint originate from. If spinal misalignments interfere with nerve communication, it can lead to a cascade of problems that can result in shoulder pain. Additionally, research shows that many cases of shoulder pain are actually referred pain from the neck.


After correcting spinal misalignments, our doctors at Elm Chiropractic are also trained to provide adjustments to the shoulder complex. We may also use manual and passive therapies to help speed up your recovery. Whether your shoulder pain is caused by spinal issues or damage to the shoulder joint itself, chiropractic care can offer a non-invasive and effective treatment option. Contact our Elmhurst office today to see if chiropractic care can benefit you.
