Help for Shoulder Pain in Burlington
Shoulder discomfort can be especially challenging if your work is hands on or physically demanding. Because the shoulder is a highly mobile joint that relies on coordination between muscles, joints, and posture, ongoing tension or irritation can affect lifting, reaching, carrying, and even sleep. Because shoulder discomfort can have many contributing factors, non-invasive care may help you move with greater ease in daily life.
Adhavan’s Story
Adhavan is an active warehouse worker who takes pride in showing up for his team. Over time, repetitive lifting and reaching started to take a toll. He noticed a persistent ache through one shoulder that became harder to ignore, especially after long shifts. Simple tasks began to feel uncomfortable, and restful sleep became more difficult.
That’s when he decided to visit our practice to see if chiropractic care could help him move more comfortably.
Getting Started
At his first appointment, Dr. Andrew took time to listen, learn about Adhavan’s routine, and understand what he was experiencing. A thorough assessment of his shoulder, neck, and upper back was completed to better understand joint motion, muscular tension, and movement patterns that may be contributing to strain. Next, they created a customized care plan using precise, gentle adjustments aimed at improving mobility and function.
How Care Progressed
Initial Phase (Month 1-2):
During the first phase, Adhavan visited three times per week and reported early changes such as less discomfort after work and improved sleep.
Rehabilitation Phase (Months 2-3):
Visiting two times a week, Adhavan noticed easier lifting, improved reach, and reduced discomfort throughout the workday.
Maintenance Phase:
Now visiting every two weeks, Adhavan reported that his shoulder felt more stable, and he felt more confident keeping up with his usual workload with less daily discomfort.
Everyone responds differently. Adhavan’s story reflects his own personal experience.
Supporting Comfortable Shoulder Motion
Adhavan’s experience illustrates how chiropractic care may help improve joint mobility, reduce muscle tension, and support everyday comfort. The gentle, precise approach made it easier for him to stay consistent, one of the key factors in his progress.
