Shoulder

“I see knee pain on
a regular basis; I would say second to back pain.” Dr. Collard.
Knee pain is brought on because
of one of three reasons:
1) poor mechanics or overuse of the knee joint
2) traumatic injury from events such as sports and falls, and
3) problems
due to arthritic changes in the joint.
When treating knee pain chiropractic
care & Acupuncture can achieve great results.
As with other joints, shoulder
problems can be caused by trauma as with sports
injuries, mechanical
dysfunction due to imbalances in the muscles, or by wear and tear of
the tissues surrounding the joint. Arthritic changes due occur in the
shoulder joint though not as commonly as the weight bearing joints of
the spine, hips and knees.
The treatment of most conditions
of the shoulder is basically the same. One must correct muscle imbalances
with either soft tissue massage or electrotherapy modalities, restore
proper mobility to the shoulder joints and of course correct any subluxations
in the spine. Special rehabilitation exercises advised by your chiropractor
are also essential in order for a full & fast recovery.
The average person takes between
8,000 and 10,000 steps per day. In addition many of us are engage in
activities such as running and aerobic exercise that add many more steps
and stress to our poor over worked feet. It is no wonder that many people
have aches and pain in this part of the body. Factors such as flat feet
or over-pronated feet, our walking and running style, the type of shoe
wear can determine if we will get foot and ankle pain. However these
factors can also affect the health of your back, knees and legs.
A number of options, including
prescribing arch-supporting insoles called orthotics and performing joint adjustments
can improve foot function and alleviate any symptoms.
