Did you know that there are roughly 15 to 20 primary muscles that actively contribute to, stabilize, and control the major movements of the shoulder joint and girdle, though up to 30 muscles can affect the broader shoulder complex. But the core movement depends on the familiar rotator cuff muscles of which there are 4, the deltoid, supported by muscles of the chest, back, and neck. This helps you see the complexity of treating a shoulder problem.
With this in mind can a doctor of chiropractic help shoulder problems? Absolutely, especially if it is related to the following:
- Muscle and tendon weakness or injury, rotator cuff issues
- Posture: forward rounded shoulders and head sitting too far forward
- Misaligned joint of shoulder, clavicle or ribs
- Misaligned neck vertebrae, pinched nerve
- Bursitis, restricted motion
