Understanding Rotated Shoulder
Rotated shoulder, also known as shoulder subluxation or shoulder instability, occurs when the head of the upper arm bone (humerus) partially or completely slips out of the shoulder socket (glenoid). This condition can be caused by traumatic injuries, repetitive overuse, muscular imbalances, or congenital factors.
Common Symptoms
If you have a rotated shoulder, you may experience the following symptoms:
- Pain and discomfort in the affected shoulder
- Reduced range of motion
- Weakness and instability
- Popping or clicking sounds during movement
- Trouble with daily activities and sports
Treatment Options
At IAOM-US, we offer a comprehensive range of effective treatment options to address rotated shoulder:
1. Physical Therapy
Our skilled physical therapists will create a personalized treatment plan that focuses on restoring shoulder stability, improving strength, and enhancing range of motion. They will use various techniques such as manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and modalities to help you regain optimal shoulder function.
2. Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic adjustments can play a crucial role in treating rotated shoulder. Our experienced chiropractors will perform gentle manipulations to realign the shoulder joint and reduce muscle imbalances. This can provide significant pain relief and enhance the overall stability of the shoulder area.
3. Rehabilitation Exercises
Our knowledgeable team will guide you through a series of targeted rehabilitation exercises that promote proper shoulder mechanics and strengthen the supporting muscles. These exercises will help prevent future shoulder injuries and improve overall shoulder function.
4. Lifestyle Modifications
We will educate you on ergonomics, proper posture, and techniques to prevent further shoulder strain. Making appropriate lifestyle modifications can significantly reduce the risk of recurring rotated shoulder episodes and support long-term shoulder health.
Prevention Strategies
Prevention is always better than cure. To avoid rotated shoulder, consider the following tips:
- Warm up adequately before sports or physical activities
- Practice proper technique and form during exercises
- Use protective gear, especially in contact sports
- Maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle
- Listen to your body and rest when needed
