Is Chiropractic Neurology right for my frozen shoulder? 

As Chiropractic Neurologists, we are leading experts in shoulder, spinal and orthopedic conditions. Our post-doctoral neurology education allows us to diagnose the true source of your shoulder pain. Our greater understanding of how your muscles, joints, posture, nerves, and brain interact to form normal function enables us to locate the roots of dysfunction and design a specific treatment plan to treat your frozen shoulder.

We incorporate a deep understanding of the spine, muscles, nerves and brain into all of our diagnosis and treatment by not only the addressing the physical components of shoulder joints and muscles, but also their relationship with the neurological system. This greater understanding of neurology within the entirity of the body and brain allows us to restore function from the simplest to the most complex lower back and spinal disorders and symptoms. By utilizing the most effective, scientifically proven treatments we're able to enhance joint mobility, restore nerve signaling, reduce muscle tension, and create accurate brain mapping that is essential for normal, symptom-free shoulder function.  

Our treatment approach is more than just adjusting your spine, we incorporate a comprehensive approach to shoulder pain, combining chiropractic, physical rehab and neurology with aspects of stretching, strengthening, electrical muscle stimulation, active muscle release, percussor muscle therapy, disc decompression, graston therapy, neurological rehabilitation and taping, depending on your condition and particular needs. We reintegrate function and health at every level of shoulder dysfunction, restoring optimal health at the root source of your pain. 

You may be wondering why frozen shoulder might require a chiropractic neurology expert? Our diagnosis and treatment fits every complexity, from the most simple strains/sprains to complex shoulder conditions that have failed other treatments. Our extensive post-doctoral neurology training is interwoven into the deep fabric of our treatments, often unbeknownst to our patients. We specialize in treating difficult and complex cases, often having failed other treatments. Our chiropractic neurology approach locates the root cause, looking in depth at all systems and their interactions through the complexities of the nervous system. Once we have located the problem(s), we then create a specific treatment plan to address and restore function to all of the involved structures and connections, creating complete restoration for the individual as symptoms abate.
