Effective Shoulder Pain Treatment

Lincoln Chiropractic Relieves Shoulder Pain

According to research, approximately 5 percent of the population will suffer from painful problems like frozen shoulder syndrome at some point in their lives. That makes shoulder pain a common problem and one that Dr. Jerrad Swanson DC, FMT, DN1 sees in our Lincoln practice on a regular basis.

Research Supports Chiropractic Care Helps With Shoulder Issues

Usually, this ailment is more common for people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, and it tends to affect women more often than men. While ice, heat, and gentle stretches can sometimes help lessen the pain, so too can chiropractic.

For example, one study published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine looked at 50 people with frozen shoulder who were given chiropractic adjustments. The duration of care varied from 11 days to 51 days, with 28 days being the average.

The doctors found that almost all of the patients fared extremely well with chiropractic care. The study found:

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 patient reported an improvement of 50% or less, so reports like this show just how effective chiropractic can be when it comes to lessening shoulder pain and increasing quality of life.
