Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder is caused by inflammation of the joint lining, causing scar tissue to form around the joint. This scar tissue restricts movement in the shoulder joint. If this is an issue you're facing, we offer excellent frozen shoulder treatment Arvada, CO and the surrounding areas can rely on.
Rotator Cuff Injuries
Rotator cuff injuries are typically associated with motions that require repeated overhead motions or forceful pulling motions. This is an injury that is very common in athletes, especially baseball pitchers, football players, weightlifters, rugby players, volleyball players, swimmers, boxers, tennis players, bowlers, and cheerleaders. At Caldwell Chiropractic Center PC, we provide rotator cuff pain treatment Arvada, CO athletes and residents can trust.
Throwing Shoulder
Shoulder instability occurs when the head of the humerus slips out of the shoulder socket (dislocation). When the shoulder is loose and moves out of place repeatedly, it is called chronic shoulder instability.
In throwers, instability develops gradually over years from repetitive throwing that stretches the ligaments and creates increased laxity (looseness). If the rotator cuff structures are not able to control the laxity, then the shoulder will slip slightly off-center (subluxation) during the throwing motion.
Pain and loss of throwing velocity will be the initial symptoms, rather than a sensation of the shoulder and it "slipping out of place." Occasionally, the thrower may feel the arm "go dead." A common term for instability many years ago was "dead arm syndrome."
Shoulder Injuries
Whether throwing a ball, paddling a canoe, lifting boxes, or pushing a lawnmower, we rely heavily on our shoulders to do a number of activities.
The shoulder is made up of two main bones: the end of upper arm bone (humerus) and the shoulder blade (scapula). The end of the humerus is round and fits into a socket in the scapula. Surrounding the shoulder is a group of muscles and ligaments. Ligaments connect the bones of the shoulders. Tendons connect the bones to the surrounding muscle.
To keep shoulders healthy and pain-free, it's important to know how to spot and avoid common injuries. Normally, the shoulder has a wide range of motion, making it the most mobile joint in the body. However, because of this flexibility, it's not very stable and is easily injured.
