Frozen Shoulder Treatment
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) occurs when the muscles, tendons and ligaments in the shoulder stay contracted, severely limiting range of motion and sometimes causing intense pain. People who sit at their computer or at a microscope for long periods of time can develop this problem. Sports injuries and chronic poor posture also can cause frozen shoulder.
How Chiropractic Can Help You
In order to properly heal your back, chiropractors perform "adjustments", or manipulations, to your spine. These treatments reduce or eliminate the inflammation on the nerve or in the surrounding soft tissue, like your muscles, tendons or ligaments. With the inflammation gone and your range of motion is restored, you can enjoy a pain free spine that's less likely to become arthritic as you age.
Dr. Schillinger uses a variety of adjusting techniques, which allows you to choose a treatment style that's most comfortable for you.
A major benefit of chiropractic care is that it does not require medications or surgery.
Because Schillinger Chiropractic and Wellness Center is focused on patient education, you'll learn the lifestyle changes you'll need to make (in exercise, diet, stress management) in order to maintain your spinal health on your own.
