Symptoms of Shoulder Injuries:

Fracture Fracture
  • Pain : Persistent discomfort in the shoulder, especially when moving or lifting objects.
  • Swelling : Visible inflammation around the shoulder joint.
  • Limited Mobility : Difficulty raising your arm, rotating your shoulder, or performing daily tasks.
  • Weakness : A feeling of instability or lack of strength in the shoulder.
  • Bruising : Discoloration around the injured area.

If you notice any of these symptoms following a car accident, it’s essential to seek professional medical care immediately. Delayed treatment can increase the risk of complications and prolong recovery.




Our Treatment for Shoulder Injuries


Our approach to treating shoulder injuries combines cutting-edge technology with tried-and-true therapeutic methods. Below are some of the key treatments we offer:


Physical Therapy
1. Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is a cornerstone of our treatment plans. Our licensed therapists design exercises to strengthen the shoulder muscles, improve posture, and increase flexibility. These exercises not only relieve current symptoms but also help prevent future injuries.

Chiropractic Care
2. Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper alignment to the spine and joints. Misalignments caused by car accidents can exacerbate shoulder pain and contribute to other health issues. Our chiropractors use gentle yet effective techniques to realign the vertebrae and reduce nerve interference.

Massage Therapy
3. Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is an excellent complement to other treatments. It helps release tension in the shoulder and neck muscles, reduces inflammation, and promotes relaxation. Many patients find that regular massage sessions significantly improve their comfort levels.

Pain Management
4. Pain Management Techniques

For those experiencing acute pain, we offer various non-invasive pain management options. These include:

  • Heat and cold therapy
  • Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
  • Ultrasound therapy

These methods provide immediate relief while supporting long-term healing.
