Your shoulder is the most flexible joint in your body, but that elasticity also makes it prone to injury. Shoulder pain often is caused by a sports injury, auto accident, or other trauma that directly damages the joint, but it may also be triggered by an issue originating in the back or neck. Around a quarter of whiplash patients also report experiencing shoulder pain, and in some cases chronic pain may indicate a degenerative disease. A skilled chiropractor can diagnose the underlying causes of shoulder pain, and will develop a treatment plan that restores mobility and reduces shoulder pain.
