🗣️What is Frozen Shoulder and Can Chiropractic Care Help?

Frozen shoulder aka adhesive capsulitis can feel frustrating — painful stiffness that makes everyday movements like reaching overhead, fastening a seatbelt, or even brushing your hair painfully difficult. Chiropractic care can play an important role in helping you recover.

✅ Benefits of Chiropractic for Frozen Shoulder

Chiropractic Adjustments – Restoring proper motion in the spine and shoulder joints helps reduce nerve irritation and improve overall mechanics.

Soft Tissue Therapy – Techniques like active muscle release, iastm or muscle scraping, stretching, and myofascial work help reduce tightness and improve mobility.

Improved Circulation – Chiropractic care can enhance blood flow and lymphatic drainage, supporting and promoting healing of inflamed tissues.

Therapeutic Exercises – Specific stretches and strengthening movements restore range of motion and help prevent future stiffness.

Whole-Body Support – Chiropractors look at posture, alignment, and lifestyle factors to address the root cause and speed up recovery, including nutrition and supplementation.

🌟 Results You May Notice
✔️Reduced pain and inflammation
✔️Gradual return of mobility and flexibility
✔️Better posture and shoulder function
✔️Faster healing when combined with physical therapy and therapeutic exercise

If you’re struggling with shoulder issues schedule an appointment and get checked out. Consistency is key in treating this painful shoulder issue.

🌟 Protect Your Low Back & Pelvis 🌟

Did you know your ligaments in the lower spine and pelvis act like seatbelts? 🚗 They keep everything stable, but if they’re overstressed, you can feel pain and weakness.

✨ How to Keep Them Strong & Supported:
• 🔹 Core Work → Planks, bird-dogs, dead bugs🐞, Curl ups
• 🔹 Glute Strength → Bridges, squats, clamshells 🍑
• 🔹 Smart Movement → Lift with a neutral spine, avoid slouching
• 🔹 Gentle Stretching → Hip flexors, hamstrings, and spine for balance

💪 A strong core + strong hips = less stress on your ligaments and more stability for your back!
