Like the spine, your shoulders, elbows, and wrists are designed for flexibility and mobility. Also just like the spine, these joints can become stiff or even out of alignment.
Shoulder and wrist pain can be the symptoms of problems caused by the neck affecting the nerves that radiate into the arm. This can interfere with normal mobility and function of the associated ligaments and muscles, which can cause common symptoms including shoulder pain, arm pain, elbow and wrist pain.
At Shine Chiropractic we commonly see people with numbness and/or pins and needles in the arm, which is often caused by pinched the nerves in the neck. This can cause significant pain or discomfort and if left untreated can cause loss of function and affect a person’s quality of life.
Nearly every joint in the human body can be prone to dysfunction which in turn can interfere with normal biomechanics. The extremities of the body are no exception; trauma and/or repetitive stress in joints such as the shoulder, elbow and wrist can cause pain, numbness, tingling or weakness which can result in serious functional problems if ignored. One such condition is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, in which nerves in the wrist can be compressed by irritated ligaments or small bone misalignments that form a tunnel in the wrist.
Chiropractic offers a non-invasive effective treatment which has been shown to be effective in the management of carpal tunnel syndrome, and other repetitive stress or trauma injuries.
Pain in the shoulder region is influenced by structures in the neck and mid-back as well as the shoulder; nerves from the neck travel through the bones in the spine into the arm to supply nerves, tissue and bone. One of the most common problems associated with shoulder pain is rotator cuff injury, which occurs when the rotator cuff muscle becomes damaged or even tears. It’s often that shoulder problems are caused by neck problems, so it is important that both the whole spine and the shoulder are checked when being assessed.
Common symptoms include shoulder pain, decreased shoulder mobility and numbness.
At Shine Chiropractic we can assess and treat shoulder injuries and pain.

Common complaints include:
While some problems may be associated with the misalignment of bones in the wrist pinching nerves, some of the symptoms could be coming from the elbow, shoulder or even spine.
