Shoulder Pain Relief Accelerated By Chiropractic In Singapore

Shoulder Pain Relief Accelerated By Chiropractic In Singapore


by Fernando Ketter


Shoulder problems (joint issues, pain, restricted movement) are easily one of the most common type of malady seen by chiropractors. It's been estimated that up to three-in-ten adults suffer with some kind of shoulder pain at any one time. With the help of a Singapore chiropractor sufferers can avoid potentially harmful pharmaceuticals and reduce their pain in a gentle, natural way.

Unfortunately, one the shoulder joint's key characteristics - its flexibility - is also its main weakness. Its superior range of motion results in an increased vulnerability to injury. The sedentary lifestyle lead by many people today, along with bad postural habits tend to play on this weakness.

Frozen shoulder (inflammation of the shoulder joint) is perhaps the most common condition seen by chiropractors. Rotator cuff issues (tears/inflammation in the muscles and tendons of the shoulder) is also very common. Similarly, impingement syndrome (a tendon catching in the shoulder joint) is frequently seen, especially in the over-60s.

Although shoulder issues can be complex, with the right care, most patients can enjoy significant relief. The kind of techniques used by the chiropractor will vary depending on the needs of the patient. What all chiropractic care has common however is an emphasis on the root causes of a problem.

As far as joint issues are concerned, gentle manipulation procedures can unlock joints and restore their range of motion. Pent-up tension in muscles and tendons can be released using massage, heat applications, ultrasound and other techniques. When tension is released and range of movement is restored, pain can be considerably reduced.

That said, it can take time to get the best results. While many patients experience a dramatic reduction in pain within 1-3 sessions, those with more complex issues may require more. However, all chiropractic care is gentle and natural and can save patients considerable time and money when compared to conventional approaches.
