Chiropractors focus on finding safe, non-surgical, and drug-free pain management and treatment methods. If you’re suffering from shoulder blade pain in Lynchburg, VA Chiro-Med Health Center can determine the underlying cause of your pain, rather than just treating the symptoms with painkillers. Here are some effective, non-invasive chiropractic shoulder pain treatment methods. 

Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic adjustments can correct spinal imbalances and posture issues that might be putting added stress on your spine, nerves, joints, and muscles. During a chiropractic adjustment, our chiropractor will use their hands or a small instrument to maneuver your spine, limbs, and muscles into proper alignment. This will relieve pressure on your nerves and spine, and can ease muscle tension and strain. 

Laser Therapy

Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment method for arthritis, repetitive stress injuries, and muscle, ligament, and tendon issues. During laser therapy, our chiropractor will use a small, handheld laser device to apply laser light to the targeted treatment area. You won’t feel any pain or discomfort, just a slight warmth as the laser light moves over your skin. Laser therapy promotes healing, tissue regeneration, and cell regrowth. The procedure can relieve pain and inflammation and improve muscle strength and movement. 

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy has long been a non-invasive, drug-free pain management technique. Massage therapy can promote the release of natural pain killing endorphins and improves movement and flexibility. Different massage therapy techniques can address muscle spasms, sprains and strains, and injury or stress of ligaments and tendons. 

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy will help you begin using your shoulder again after a shoulder injury. Our chiropractor will guide you through therapeutic exercises and stretches to restore function, range of motion, and flexibility of the shoulder muscle and joint. They will also assist you with activity and movement modification to help you complete daily activities without stressing out your shoulder or reinjuring it. The goal of physical therapy is to improve muscle strength and range of motion so you can get back to using your shoulder without pain.
