Shoulder pain treatment, rotator cuff.

A recent study shows definite improvement in pain levels and function in the shoulders of patients suffering from signs of rotator cuff tendon injury.The rotator cuff are a group of muscles in the shoulder that provide stability to this highly mobile joint. Muscles like Supraspinatus can become pinched as it passes beneath the shoulder joint, a condition called impingement syndrome. Tests indicating the presence of impingement syndrome showed significant improvement following spinal manipulation in the test group.Research published in the Journal of Orthopeadic and Sports Physical Therapy followed the fortunes of 30 patients treated using spinal manipulation of their upper back joints. This is the kind of manipulation used by chiropractors and physiotherapists at Winchester Sports & Spine.If you are suffering shoulder pain give us a call, research supports the use of our treatment methods.If you are interested in the full article here is the referrence; The effects of thoracic spine manipulation in subjects with signs of rotator cuff tendinopathy.
