Arm & Shoulder Pain and NUCCA
Arm and shoulder pain can significantly impact your daily life, making even simple tasks challenging. Whether it’s a dull ache, sharp pain, or restricted movement, identifying the underlying cause is essential for lasting relief. At Molland Spinal Care, we frequently see patients with arm and shoulder pain stemming from:
- Nerve Compression
- Rotator Cuff Injuries
- Cervical Radiculopathy
- Frozen Shoulder
- Postural Imbalances
- Repetitive Strain Injuries
Why Does Arm & Shoulder Pain Develop Over Time?
Many cases of arm and shoulder pain originate from underlying spinal misalignment. Even a minor misalignment in the upper cervical spine can lead to nerve irritation, muscle compensation, and radiating pain into the arms and shoulders. The typical progression follows:
1. Initial Misalignment: Trauma, poor posture, or repetitive stress shifts spinal alignment, placing strain on the nerves controlling arm and shoulder function.
2. Early Symptoms: Mild discomfort, stiffness, or intermittent pain starts to develop. Most people dismiss these symptoms until they become more persistent.
3. Chronic Pain & Dysfunction: Without correction, nerve irritation intensifies, leading to inflammation, muscle weakness, and significant movement limitations.
How can Upper Cervical Chiropractic Help Arm & Shoulder Pain?
At Molland Spinal Care, our NUCCA Chiropractic approach focuses on identifying and correcting spinal misalignment at its source. We begin with a thorough spinal analysis and postural assessment to pinpoint the exact cause of your pain. If a misalignment is detected, we utilize precise X-ray imaging to determine the specific correction needed.
Through gentle NUCCA adjustments, we restore proper spinal alignment, reducing nerve interference and relieving the underlying cause of arm and shoulder pain. Many patients notice relief shortly after correction, while others experience gradual improvement as their spine stabilizes and heals.
