Shoulder pain is common, affecting people of all ages. The shoulder joint is vulnerable to injuries and overuse from sports, work, and everyday activities. The good news is visiting True Wellness Chiropractic for treatment may be a great way to find relief. There are also exercises and lifestyle adjustments you can make at home to help ease shoulder discomfort. For more information about how our team can help you get relief, contact us at True Wellness Chiropractic.

Shoulder Stretches

Gentle stretching can help relax tight shoulder muscles and improve range of motion. The across-body stretch is an easy stretch to try - hold one arm straight across your chest and use the other arm to gently pull it closer to stretch the shoulder. Hold for 30 seconds, relax, and repeat on the opposite side. Arm circles are another good stretch, slowly circling both arms forward and backward with small movements. For more exercises tailored to your specific needs, call us, and a chiropractor on our team will help create a personalized stretching and exercise program for you.

Posture and Lifestyle Tips

Good posture and habits can also help alleviate shoulder strain. Maintain an upright posture at your desk rather than hunching forward. Avoid carrying heavy bags on just one shoulder. Distribute weight evenly in backpacks or purses. Warm up your shoulders thoroughly with gentle motions before exercise. Take frequent breaks when doing repetitive upper body tasks to avoid overuse.
