Here is what the research says:
Shoulder pain can be frustrating – whether it’s from impingement, a rotator cuff injury, or simply overuse. What many people don’t know is that chiropractic care, when combined with the right exercises, can be more effective than exercise along.
Research has explored the best ways to manage shoulder pain, and one study found that patients who received chiropractic care alongside a targeted exercise program experienced greater improvements in both pain and function compared to those who only did exercises at home. Interestingly, chiropractic care on its own or exercises on their own did not lead to significant results – it was the combination that made the difference.
This highlights the important of not only getting chiropractic care but also committing to your rehab routine.
