Shoulder Pain and Chiropractic Care

As I practice and continue to learn better ways to help my patients, I am impressed how often people have a painful shoulder or restricted shoulder. Again and again I see patients who have lost their shoulder range of motion (frozen shoulder) or have strong pain or weakness when using thier shoulder.

Patients who have had surgery to repair the rotator cuff tendons and muscles and still have pain or restriction. Those who have had shoulder replacement and still want to have more comfortable motion in their shoulder. People who have been injured or who don't even have a cause they can name, find their shoulder pain and restriction continues to be a big issue for them.

The shoulder is highly muscle stabilized and influenced joint...probably more than any other body part. Using the special pain stopping techniques and motion freeing methods I have learned in the last few years, I have been able to restore these shoulders in many (not all) cases with reliable and gentle methods that patients like.

With chronic or acute shoulder muscle, joint or tendon pain and impairment, the techniques I have learned are amazing to me on a daily basis. I always medically refer a patient if I suspect or see a pathology like a tumor, infection, fracture, severe tear, etc...that won't be helped by my function-enhancing methods. But many come to me with ongoing problems even after all the other care they have tried.

Muscle Pain, Weakness, Liver Problems from Cholesterol Lowering Dugs

I have had several patients in the past year or so who suffered side effects due to the use of Cholesterol lowering drugs. Though the percentage of those who have these unintended reactions are small, when they get them they suffer 100%.

For more info Google this topic or go to http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8695102.stm to get started.

On a brighter note, I have helped these people recover faster with the Meridian Therapy(acupuncture points) testing and treatment(no needles). If you are someone you know has this reaction, call for an acupuncture point exam.

Dr DiVelbiss is not currently certified to use needles. He has practiced non-needle care for more than a decade including people with these side effects. However, each individual is different and not everyone can be helped by any methods. Examining you is the place to start! CALL 614-529-8171

Myofascial Trigger Points- Causing Your Pain or Symtoms

The muscles and soft tissues of the body can develop trigger points that cause pain, numbness, weakness, burning, posture changes, tightness, and a variety of visceral(internal organ mimicking) symptoms like dizziness, sinus pain, bowel problems, frequent urination or leaking...etc.

Dr. DiVelbiss works on these tender points and trigger points and has found that they exist in muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, skin and even organs like the large bowel.

By gently deactivating these points, the area function and health returns to normal in many cases.
