Chiropractors receive the reputation of helping people with back pain only, but did you know that our Richmond, VA, chiropractor Dr. Scott Shaw at Shaw Chiropractic Center can help you with shoulder pain as well? Let us take a moment to explain why you should visit a chiropractor for this type of pain.

Chiropractic Care Focuses More Than Just Pain Relief

While our chiropractor in Richmond, VA, can help with shoulder pain, our care goes far beyond that. For one, through the use of exercise and pain relief techniques, our chiropractor can also improve your range of motion after an injury or if you have a chronic condition that's affecting this body part.

Another benefit of our care for your shoulder pain is that we can help with inflammation. While inflammation is part of your body's natural healing power, considering this fluid consists of healing factors, too much of it is actually a bad thing. When there's too much, your healing time may be slowed down a bit. Therefore, with chiropractic care to ease inflammation, you may be able to quickly.

Additionally, by reducing inflammation, we might be able to further reduce the amount of pain you have.

During your treatment sessions, our chiropractor can also provide you with insight on how to prevent an injury in the future.

Types of Treatments We Provide

When it comes to shoulder pain, our chiropractor can provide you with a number of treatments to help. For one, we can perform a joint misalignment, which can help you reduce pain and discomfort while improving your range of motion.

Another treatment we may provide is exercise therapy. For this treatment, our practitioner will guide you through various stretches that work your shoulder slowly. They'll gradually increase in difficulty to continuously increase flexion in the joint.

Each treatment we provide is specifically catered to your specific needs. As a result, you'll be able to heal fully or to the best of your ability if you had an injury. On the other hand, if you're visiting us because your shoulder pain stems from arthritis or another chronic condition, you can increase your range of motion and slow the progression of your problem since the treatments work with your particular issue and never go faster than you can handle.

At Shaw Chiropractic Center, serving Richmond, VA, and the general vicinity, our chiropractor, Dr. Shaw, can help if you have shoulder pain. We offer several different treatment options, all with the goal of helping you recover or at least increase your quality of life, depending on your particular situation.

If you have shoulder pain and want natural relief, call us today at (804) 741-3068.
