Shoulders are an exceptionally active part of the body. Raising your hand, lifting anything, brushing your hair all involve shoulder movement. This area of the body is commonly subject to overuse. Anyone who suffers from chronic pain in the shoulder or has just experienced an acute injury should contact the chiropractic offices Manhattan NY to seek care and quick relief.

The structure of shoulders may be a bit of a mystery to many people. The shoulder is called a ball and socket joint. It has three main bones, the upper arm, shoulder blade and the collar bone. The hip is another body part with a ball and socket joint. These joints are unique and enable circular movements.

The shoulders are held together with a combination of tendons, muscles and ligaments. Of all the joints in the body, the shoulder is the one with the biggest range of motion. This amazing range can make the area vulnerable to damage due to what may be considered normal use.

Since shoulders are so complex in structure, there are many causes of injury. Overuse presents itself in many forms. Bursitis, tendinitis and muscle strain are a few indications of injury to soft tissue and bones. Some damage is due to age or disease. Osteoarthritis is a common cause of shoulder pain. Whatever the cause, chiropractic care can provide quick relief.

The many soft tissues surrounding shoulder bones can also sustain injury, which may be as bad or worse than a bone injury. An injury may be the result of an acute event or a chronic condition. In either case, regular care from a chiropractor will provide relief and help manage the pain.

If you are experiencing shoulder pain it needs to be evaluated to determine the source and the care. Shoulders are considered a referral site where the real source of pain may be indicative of other, more serious health issues. For these reasons, delaying care is not advised. There are several chiropractors in Manhattan who can provide the needed care.
