Unlocking Shoulder Function: Comprehensive Care at Chirohouse Clinic in Prior Lake/Savage, MN
The shoulders play a crucial role in our daily activities, from lifting objects to reaching overhead. When shoulder function is compromised, it can significantly impact our quality of life. At Chirohouse Clinic, we take a comprehensive approach to shoulder care, focusing on four key pillars that contribute to optimal shoulder function. Through advanced diagnostics and personalized treatment plans, we are dedicated to helping you overcome shoulder conditions and regain pain-free mobility.
#1. Alignment: Assessing the Foundation
Alignment is fundamental to shoulder health. We utilize digital X-rays to evaluate the alignment and function of your spine in relation to your shoulders. By understanding the intricate relationship between the spine and shoulders, we can identify any misalignments or postural imbalances that may contribute to shoulder dysfunction. This comprehensive evaluation enables us to develop targeted treatment strategies tailored to your specific needs.
#2. Orthopedic Testing: Identifying Dysfunction
To further assess and isolate areas of dysfunction, we perform thorough orthopedic testing. These specialized tests allow us to evaluate the integrity and functionality of the shoulder joint, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. By pinpointing the specific areas of concern, we can develop a precise treatment plan that addresses the root cause of your shoulder condition.
#3. Strength and Coordination: Restoring Functionality
The muscular system plays a vital role in shoulder function. We conduct a comprehensive functional evaluation to assess the strength, coordination, and balance of the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint. Through targeted exercises and rehabilitative techniques, we aim to restore optimal strength and functionality to the affected muscles. This approach not only helps alleviate pain but also enhances overall shoulder performance and reduces the risk of future injuries.
#4. Flexibility and Quality of Motion: Unleashing Range of Motion
Flexibility and motion within the shoulder joints are essential for pain-free movement. We evaluate the range of motion and flexibility in the joints to identify any areas of weakness or dysfunction. This comprehensive assessment allows us to pinpoint the source and location of your shoulder problems accurately. By utilizing specific techniques and therapies, we aim to improve joint mobility, reduce stiffness, and enhance the overall quality of motion in your shoulders.
