What is frozen shoulder and what causes it in Wheat Ridge CO?

The shoulder is a ball and socket joint made up of the humerus (upper arm), the scapula (shoulder blade) and the clavicle (collarbone) along with all the supporting muscles, ligaments and tendons. With frozen shoulder, the muscles that support and move the joint become "switched off" and now you can no longer raise your arm above your head. Over time adhesions form leading to debilitating pain and stiffness further limiting the movement of the shoulder.

No clear cause has been established however in our experience we have seen that there is a neurological inhibition present because after a patient has been adjusted they have had instantaneous results.

What can chiropractic do frozen shoulder?

All of the muscles in the body are controlled by the brain via the nerves. When a chiropractor adjusts the spine we restore the nerve communication allowing the muscles to "fire" properly and the shoulder regains its range of motion. In our clinical experience utilizing chiropractic care, our patients typically see results after their first adjustment.
