Non-Surgical Treatments for Chronic Shoulder Pain

Dealing with chronic shoulder pain on a daily basis can make even the smallest of movements difficult, such as reaching up to get something off the shelf, enjoying your favorite activities, or playing with the grandkids. While most doctors recommend medication or shoulder replacement surgery for treatment; however, there are other drug-free, non-surgical treatment options available for lasting shoulder pain relief.

Surgery can often be a risky procedure that opens the body up to potential complications, such as blood clots and infections. Additionally, surgery is typically not a one-and-done procedure. Most people have to undergo rehabilitation and downtime after surgery, which can take weeks or months until full recovery.

Thankfully, there are alternative treatment options that are effective for those who suffer from severe shoulder pain.

Alternative Treatments for Shoulder Pain St Petersburg, FL

Alternative Treatments for Shoulder Pain

Our clinic offers treatments that are a safe alternative to surgery and medications that get to your pain’s root cause for effective relief.

One treatment that can help repair and revitalize your painful shoulder is platelet-rich plasma therapy. PRP therapy works through the extraction of a small sample of your blood. From there, the blood is spun through a device called a centrifuge, in which the healing properties, platelets, and plasma, separate from the other components in the blood. The rich, golden PRP solution remaining is what is then injected into your shoulder so that the growth factors and proteins within the PRP solution encourage and enhance your body’s naturally occurring healing mechanisms for effective relief.

PRP injections get to the source of the condition or injury to heal the root cause rather than cover up the symptoms, and these treatments have little to no risk of rejection or complications.

Chiropractic Care for Shoulder Pain Relief St Petersburg, FL

Chiropractic Care for Shoulder Pain Relief

Another effective alternative method of treatment is chiropractic care. Through simple manual adjustments, a chiropractor can relieve severe shoulder pain, and bring the body back into alignment. Chiropractic adjustments are an effective treatment option to restore mobility to the shoulder and help you avoid surgery. In many cases, a quick hands-on manipulation could be all a patient needs to get them out of pain and reposition their shoulder, benefiting not only the shoulder area but realigning the body as a whole.

These alternative treatment options are effective solutions for treating shoulder pain at the source and require no downtime post-treatment, unlike surgical procedures.

PRP therapy and chiropractic care are effective solutions for all types of shoulder pain, including:

  • Strain
  • Sprain
  • Tendonitis
  • Bursitis
  • Rotator cuff injury
  • Frozen shoulder
  • Degeneration due to aging
  • Dislocated shoulder
  • Injury
  • And more
