We manage many car accident cases in our Jacksonville office, and a widespread symptom we see in our patients is shoulder pain. If you are suffering from shoulder pain after a car crash, don't worry. Shoulder Pain is a common problem after an auto injury, and it's something that Silver Chiropractic & Wellness sees often in our Jacksonville office.
There are at least two different ways that you can develop shoulder pain after a car crash: by direct trauma to the shoulder or by radiating pain from the neck.
Direct damage can be caused by striking your shoulder on a hard object in the car during the impact, or can occur if you have a tight grip on the steering wheel during a rear end crash. With this type of trauma, you'll often be aware of the pain soon after the crash.
More commonly, Silver Chiropractic & Wellness finds that shoulder or arm pain doesn't immediately appear after a crash, but starts a few days or weeks after the accident. This type of shoulder pain actually starts in the cervical spine. Injured soft tissue in your neck can pinch nerves in your neck, causing tingling, numbness, or soreness in your shoulder, elbow, or wrist.
We've worked with many types of shoulder problems in our Jacksonville office. This approach involves chiropractic adjustments to restore your spine's natural flexibility and home exercises that strengthen your neck and shoulder.
You don't have to suffer from shoulder pain. Silver Chiropractic & Wellness is conveniently located in Jacksonville to help you recover, whether you've been in a car crash or not. If you've been hurt in a car crash and you're struggling with shoulder pain, Silver Chiropractic & Wellness is here to help. The first step is to get an accurate diagnosis to determine what's causing your pain and then we will determine an appropriate treatment approach. Silver Chiropractic & Wellness will first determine what's causing your pain and then work to restore your body to its natural functioning.
