Treatment Details

When Sue first came to the office with this problem in her left shoulder, she thought that it was a rotator cuff, muscle injury. However, it became clear during her examination and muscle testing that she was experiencing a frozen shoulder. In the past, Sue had been treated for neck and upper back pain, and did not respond well to typical chiropractic adjustments, so I used a combination gentle arthrostim adjustments to her neck and back, Active Release Techniques (ART), muscle activation, massage therapy, cupping, and targeted rehabilitation with elastic bands geared towards strengthening and activating the specific muscles that tested weak. Susanne made a full recovery, never had her shoulder freeze all the way and lock down because we were able to catch it early and treat the shoulder capsule and the muscles effectively with active release techniques, etc.
