The glenohumeral joint is the most mobile joint in the human body. The complexity and mobility of the shoulder unit, makes it a common area for many injuries and movement dysfunctions. Shoulder injuries are typically caused by athletic activities that involve excessive, repetitive, shoulder motion, such as swimming, racquet sports, throwing sports and weightlifting. Shoulder injuries can also occur as a result of everyday activities, such as, manual labour, desk work or housework!
Most shoulder conditions involve the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bursa. Some of the common shoulder conditions that we treat include:
Successful treatment of shoulder conditions relies on an accurate diagnosis and thorough understanding of the cause of injury. At Impulse Chiropractic, we examine the shoulder closely through orthopaedic and functional movement testing. This helps us to develop the best and most specific treatment plan for you. Often with shoulder injuries, ultrasounds and MRI’s can help us understand the injury better and help point you in the right direction more quickly.
Treatment of the shoulder depends on the type of condition. In some circumstances, such as shoulder instability, “hands off” treatment is the best option through an exercise rehabilitation program. Other conditions will need a combination of manual therapy and exercise rehabilitation. At Impulse Chiropractic, we use a number of treatment methods to help achieve optimal results. These include:
Low back pain is our most common complaint presenting to Impulse Chiropractic. Low back pain affects approximately 60-80% of people throughout their lifetime.
Increased usage of technology, increased sedentary lifestyles, working from home and adoption of poor postures has contributed to more people suffering from thoracic and rib pain.
Coccyx/tailbone pain can be an extremely painful and debilitating condition. Females are 5 times more likely to experience this pain than males.
The shoulder is a complex, mobile and dynamic joint! Most shoulder conditions involve the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bursa.
The temporomandibular joint (jaw joint) or TMJ is one of the most heavily used joints in the body. It therefore can be a common source of pain and dysfunction.
Plantar fasciitis is a common, painful foot condition that can affect people of all ages and activity levels.
Our chiropractors are well trained in the specific mechanisms involved in sports injuries as well as having backgrounds participating in high level sports themselves.
Osteoarthritis can affect any joint in the body, but it most commonly affects the knees, hips, low back, neck, and fingers/hands.
