Chiropractic or Injections for Shoulder Pain

Shoulder Pain is one of the top reasons people come to see us Drs,

In fact the only things more popular are neck pain and low back pain

It is estimated that up to 34% of the entire population will have shoulder pain

There are several reasons for shoulder pain

- Rotator Cuff tendon

- Bursa

- Bone

- Joint

- Impingement Syndrome

- Adhesive capsulitis

Research showed that steroid injections have substantial clinical effects in pain reduction and functional regain in the SHORT TERM, however the benefits are not long lasting

That is exactly why you would need and get a steroid injection. To improve the ability of a patient to start moving, as movement based care is the best option to get the shoulder healing.

Studies have shown the effects of steroids on the tendons , they can degrade collagen, decrease fibroblast proliferation, increase inflammation and cytotoxicity and interfere with normal biomechanics in the tendons.

Research coming out in 2022 looked at the follow up of people, whom some received only Chiropractic and some received only steroid injections

Those who had steroid injections, had a 1 in 10 chance of having a Rotator cuff tear on follow up several years later

those who got no steroid injections had rotator cuff tears incidence of 1.2%

This correlates to a 717% increase chance of having a rotator cuff tear when receiving an injection versus not receiving an injection

They also found you are likely to have a tear if

- you are a smoker

- have chronic liver disease
