The underlying causes of shoulder pain in Grimes IA are often associated with tissue disturbance from your neck, not tissue injury to the shoulder.

What Causes Grimes IA Shoulder Pain?

Shoulder pain is one of the most common reasons for visiting a physician, especially a chiropractor. The underlying causes of shoulder pain are often associated with tissue disturbance from your neck. Shoulder pain and symptoms that are aching, dull, constant-even without use, located on top of the shoulder blade, between your shoulders, at the nape of your neck, or even down the arm into your hands and fingers are most attributed to your neck tissues. These tissues become irritated, inflamed, or damaged and will refer to and radiate pain and symptoms in your upper back and shoulder. They can even feel like you have a “muscle knot” or a “tight” feeling. A clear understanding of what is causing the symptoms is the first step to effective treatment and the results you want to achieve. Examining pain and referred symptoms, especially chronic pain and symptoms, shouldn’t be limited to the location of your symptoms. That type of examination wouldn’t even be appropriate for a blinking car engine light on your dashboard. The lightbulb is the apparent problem, but a deeper look into the cause of the blinking light needs to be realized and repaired effectively.
