Noblesville Chiropractic Care Treats Shoulder Pain

According to experts, approximately 2-5 percent of the population will deal with painful issues like frozen shoulder syndrome at some point in their lives. That makes shoulder pain a common problem and one that Dr. Dahlager sees in our Noblesville clinic on a regular basis.

Research Shows Chiropractic Care Helps With Shoulder Pain

Generally, this condition is more common for people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, and it tends to affect women more frequently than men. While ice, heat, and gentle stretches can sometimes help relieve the discomfort, so too can chiropractic adjustments.

For instance, a study published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine looked at 50 patients with frozen shoulder who received chiropractic therapy. The length of care varied from 11 days to 51 days, with 28 days being the average.

The researchers found that almost all of the study participants 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 participant reported an improvement of 50 percent or less, so studies like this demonstrate just how effective chiropractic care can be when it comes to lessening shoulder pain and improving quality of life.
