According to research, roughly 2-5 percent of the population will experience painful issues like frozen shoulder syndrome at some point in their lives. That makes shoulder-related pain a common occurrence and one that Dr. BenEliyahu sees in our Selden and Coram, NY office on a regular basis.
Research Proves Chiropractic Helps With Shoulder Pain
By and large, this condition is more common for people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, and it tends to affect women more often than men. While ice, heat, and gentle stretches can sometimes help alleviate the pain, so too can chiropractic adjustments.
As an example, a study published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine looked at 50 people with frozen shoulder who received chiropractic care. The length of care ranged from 11 days to 51 days, with 28 days being the average.
The researchers found that almost all of the study participants fared very well with chiropractic care. The study found:
8 of the subjects reported 50-75 percent improvement
25 indicated improvement ranging from 75- 90 percent
1 participant had complete resolution of their frozen shoulder pain
Only one participant reported an improvement of 50 percent or less, so reports like this show just how effective chiropractic can be when it comes to decreasing shoulder pain and improving quality of life.
