How Our Chiropractors Diagnose Chronic Shoulder Pain and Injuries

If you are suffering from some type of acute injury, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible. If the pain you’re experiencing is not too significant, you might be able to rest for a few days in order to effectively treat your condition. Your personal AICA Jonesboro Chiropractor can perform a complete examination of your injury in order to decide what type of treatment process will best address the characteristics of your specific condition.

How Your Family’s Medical History Can Influence Chronic Shoulder Pain

Understanding your family’s medical history as it relates to shoulder pain is one of the first steps your Chiropractor will take in diagnosing your injury and how it should be treated. They will most likely ask you a variety of questions that relate to the origins of your pain, whether or not you have noticed any type of pain before, and how you may have treated prior injuries.

Chiropractic Examinations

Each of our patients is offered a thorough examination that reviews the entirety of your injury, as well as any possible connections to other existing ailments that may have developed as a result of your shoulder pain. During your examination, your Chiropractor will look to identify areas that appear to be swollen, deformed, or abnormal. They will most likely ask you to perform a number of stretches and follow through with a variety of actions in order to assess your complete range of motion.

Imaging Devices Help Create Custom Treatment Solutions

Depending on the extent of your injury, your Chiropractor may ask to perform a number of tests that help provide additional insight into the nature of your injury. These tests include:
X-rays – May be ordered to see if a fracture exists.
MRI or Ultrasound – Understand whether or not there is any soft tissue damage or if the ligaments and tendons that surround your shoulder joints are torn.
Electrical Studies – May be used to examine and evaluate the degree of your nerve function.
Arthrogram – This sees your Chiropractor add dye to your X-ray study in order to better see whether or not your joints or muscles are damaged.
CT Scans – Combines X-rays with digital technology in order to create a specific, detailed view of the bones that exist within your shoulders.

Our Chiropractors treats hundreds of senior citizens throughout the Jonesboro community and offer each patient a unique treatment regiment that allows them to live a pain-free life.

Recovering From Shoulder Pain or Injuries

  • Your age.
  • Experience with prior injuries.
  • The extent of your injury.
  • The type of damage that’s been done.
  • How you respond to each recommended treatment method.

Depending on the circumstances, your doctor may offer you a number of activities and exercises that you can perform outside of your office visits, in order to compliment your recovery process.
