Many people today live everyday with chronic shoulder pain. You see them at work, pushing back in their chairs, rolling the shoulder and grimacing with the pain. You see them at the grocery store wincing and rubbing their shoulders as they reach for a box on the top shelf. You might even be unable to sleep at night because you cannot find a comfortable position that allows you to relax into slumber. The fact is that many of us live with moderate to severe pain everyday – it inhibits our activities, limits our mobility and interferes with our sleep. Causes of neck, back, leg and shoulder pain can range from repetitive stress injuries to impact injuries received in car accidents, but no matter what the cause, the results of the pain are the same.
Traditional methods of dealing with shoulder pain have included orthopedic surgery, physical therapy, chiropractic care and pain management or anti-inflammatory drugs. Taking drugs will never be the answer to long term back care. The fact is drugs are designed to treat the symptoms and do not address the underlying causes of the pain. In fact, with any of these traditional methods of treatment, if effort is not made to identify the source of the problem and correct the underlying causes then no matter how effective the treatment is in the short term, your pain and symptoms will return.
Your spinal column is designed to flex – to compress and release. When any of your discs lose that ability to flex, the resulting compressed state can lead to pinched nerves and shooting pain into the shoulder and beyond. To truly treat this shoulder pain you need to treat the lack of flexibility in the spine and restore the natural compress and release function of your discs.
Luckily there is a new form of treatment called Spinal Compression Therapy or DTS. DTS therapy will not only relieve the current pressure on your spine that is causing shoulder pain, but it will ‘re-educate’ the muscles and ligaments that support the spinal column to help ensure that full flexibility and the normal compress and release pattern is restored. Like all truly effective therapies, DTS will require a commitment from you to continue physical exercises and good posture practice. With DTS therapy and a dedication to restorative and strength building exercises you can live an active and fulfilling life free from shoulder pain.
