Neck And Shoulder Pain
Neck and shoulder pain affects people of all ages and occupations, but with safe and effective muscle therapy and chiropractic adjustments as part of a holistic approach to neck and shoulder pain treatment, it’s possible to alleviate if not eliminate the pain that you’re experiencing.
At Northbridge Chiropractic in Perth, our experienced and highly-qualified practitioners treat neck and shoulder pain with traditional chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, trigger point therapy, Gua Sha (ancient Chinese massage therapy) and other muscle therapy techniques to relieve tension and decrease pain. If your neck and shoulder pain is affecting your ability to work or preventing you from leading a full life, we can help.
Why Is Neck And Shoulder Pain Related?
Neck pain and shoulder pain are often related, with the pain commonly caused by soft tissue injuries to the ligaments, muscles and tendons in these areas. Pain in the area can also be caused by degenerative conditions and diseases, including hernias and arthritis that cause pinched nerves (cervical radiculopathy), tendinitis, and rotator cuff injuries which cause pain in the shoulder that can spread to the neck.
During your initial examination, your practitioner will determine the causes of your neck and shoulder pain and devise a suitable treatment plan. Depending on your situation, your treatment plan could involve a combination of traditional chiropractic adjustments and one or more muscle therapy techniques, like active release therapy and myofascial release therapy which treat soft tissue with a combination of movement and manipulation.
Stretch The Tension Away
