Chiropractic Adjustments Helps Shoulder Pain
Alexandria Chiropractic Therapy Treats Shoulder Pain
According to experts, roughly 2-5 percent of the population will suffer from painful issues like frozen shoulder syndrome at some time in their lives. That makes shoulder-related pain a common occurrence and one that Dr. Wagner sees in our Alexandria practice on a regular basis.
Research Shows Chiropractic Adjustments Helps With Shoulder Issues
By and large, this issue is more common for people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, and it tends to affect women more frequently than men. While ice, heat, and gentle stretches can often times help lessen the pain, so too can chiropractic care.
For example, a study released in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine looked at 50 patients with frozen shoulder who were given chiropractic treatment. The duration of care varied from 11 days to 51 days, with 28 days being the average.
The doctors found that practically all of the study participants fared extremely well with chiropractic care. Here are the results:
8 of the subjects reported 50-75 percent improvement
25 indicated improvement ranging from 75- 90 percent
1 participant had complete resolution of their frozen shoulder pain
Only one of the original 50 reported an improvement of 50 percent or less, so studies like this demonstrate just how beneficial chiropractic care can be when it comes to lessening shoulder pain and improving quality of life.
