One of the most common complaints Dr. Mollins receives at his Brooklyn chiropractic office is pain in the shoulder area, whether it’s the actual shoulder joint, where the shoulder and neck meet or more toward the shoulder blade. Pain in the shoulder region is extremely common and can be debilitating depending on the severity of the tissue damage and the pain associated with the injury.

Regardless of the type of work people do or how physical they are in their everyday lives, our shoulders take a beating every day, every time we lift our hand, or lean our arms on the computer desk to type.

Although the shoulder joint is the most mobile of the body, the surrounding nerves, tendons and other tissues have the capacity to be irritated fairly easily, and irritation causes pain. Joint or tissue irritation can be the cause shoulder pain, both of which may be eased with chiropractic treatment, such as manipulation.

Those with physical jobs requiring manual labor may be more likely to injure themselves in an accident, slip, trip and fall or other on-the-job incident, as well as those who are stuck at a desk behind a computer all day.

Workers in either industry are susceptible to repetitive motion injuries like carpal tunnel, for example, as their work duties require them to make repetitive motions. This can wreak havoc on their joints, ligaments and tendons, and poor posture can erode proper spinal alignment their over time.

Over the last 25 years, Dr. Jeff J. Mollins, DC has treated thousands of people who have been injured on the job, whether the injury stems from overuse, a fall, or a car accident. The source of shoulder pain varies from person to person, and the origin of your aches and pains in the shoulder region can help your chiropractor determine the best course of treatment to get you healthy and moving again- and allow you to stay agile regardless of age or physical ability.

Dr. Mollins is certified by the State of New York to provide treatment for injured workers by the NYS Workers Compensation Board (CO3541-2). He regularly attends post graduate seminars to keep himself abreast of the latest technology, advancements, and treatment options for his patients.
