Did you know that chiropractors treat more than just the spine? Chiropractors are trained to address musculoskeletal problems throughout the body, including shoulder and rotator cuff issues. They do this with the use of active release therapy (ART), which uses manual pressure and movement to break down adhesions in the muscles, tendons, and ligaments around the shoulder. This helps to reduce pain and improve range of motion, promoting faster healing by increasing blood flow and mobility in the affected tissues. Chiropractic adjustments help stabilize the shoulder joint, improve biomechanics, and reduce compensatory strain, promoting a more comprehensive recovery for the rotator cuff and surrounding muscles.
