Common Shoulder Injuries

Direct hits from sporting equipment, repetitious motions from work or daily activities, auto accidents and degenerative conditions are just a few causes that can source shoulder pain. These are some of the most common shoulder injuries we see at Bakke Chiropractic Clinic in Tacoma, WA.

Shoulder Sprains and Strains: A small twist or a slight jarring to the region can cause shoulder strains and sprains. Anything from poor posture and heavy lifting to accidents or routine daily tasks can be the culprits.

Dislocated Shoulder: This is when the shoulder falls out of its supportive socket, and it is very painful. Many people can ‘knock it back into socket. However, without proper treatment, this injury can become repetitive and creep up on you at the least opportune moments.

Rotator Cuff Injuries: There are four muscles in the rotator cuff of the shoulder. Any activity that involves the repetitious use of the shoulder’s rotation can lead to straining and swelling of the rotator cuff, which can lead to limited or loss of mobility and range of motion. Without treatment, this condition can lead to tendonitis.

Tendonitis in Shoulder or Rotator Cuff: These degenerative conditions typically occur with age or if you’ve neglected to care for prior injuries. Tendonitis causes numbness, tingling and radiating pain to connected nerve endings and associated bodily regions.

Frozen Shoulder: When the shoulder just refuses to move, this condition is medically referred to adhesive capsulitis—what we call frozen shoulder. Lack of mobility symptoms associated with whiplash can result in frozen shoulder as a side effect.

Shoulder Bursae/Shoulder Bursitis: When the lubricating fluid within the bursa sacs that are located throughout the body, moving joints begin to rub against one another to cause swelling and pain.
