Help for Shoulder Pain in York
Shoulder pain can really interfere with your daily life—from reaching for items on a high shelf to simply getting a good night’s sleep. At Sheaffer Family Chiropractic, we’ve helped many York community members find relief from shoulder discomfort by addressing the underlying cause rather than just masking symptoms.
The Neck-Shoulder Connection
Often, when our patients present with shoulder pain, they have irritation of the nerves in their neck that supply the shoulder. Your spine houses the nervous system that controls everything in your body, including your shoulders. When a nerve is pinched in the mid to lower neck, it can cause pain, numbness, tingling, burning, or weakness in the shoulder.
The good news? By correcting subluxations or nerve issues caused by neck vertebral misalignment, we can often help patients with a variety of shoulder issues.
Our Approach to Shoulder Care
At our office, we take a thorough approach to understanding your shoulder pain. We perform specific shoulder muscle testing to determine whether there’s a subluxation or shoulder joint dysfunction. This helps us identify exactly where the problem originates, whether it’s in the neck, the shoulder joint itself, or both.
By aligning the shoulder and neck, we free the nerves to function properly. We’ve seen this approach help a wide range of shoulder issues, from rotator cuff problems to frozen shoulder and everything in between.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Our commitment is to identify the underlying cause of your shoulder pain and recommend a care plan to deliver results. We’ll explain our findings clearly and offer ways you can participate in your recovery. Remember, you’re the boss when it comes to your health—we’re here to serve and guide you.
