Frequently Asked Questions
Is my arm pain actually coming from my neck?
It’s very possible. Many cases of arm pain are caused by nerve irritation or misalignment in the cervical spine. We’ll evaluate the entire system to find the true cause.
Do you treat rotator cuff injuries or shoulder impingement?
Yes. We often work with patients experiencing shoulder joint dysfunction, muscle strain, or impingement. We’ll tailor your care plan based on your diagnosis and goals.
Will adjustments be done on my shoulder or just my spine?
Both, if needed. Chiropractic care can include adjustments to the shoulder joint itself, along with spinal work to relieve nerve pressure and restore proper movement patterns.
How long before I notice improvement?
Many patients report reduced pain and better range of motion within a few visits. Chronic or complex cases may require a longer course of care.
