What is The Role of a Chiropractor in Treating Shoulder Injuries and Pain? 

Chiropractic treatment and adjustments are considered the most effective and non-invasive solution. By using spinal manipulations and adjustments, a chiropractor restores normal alignment of the shoulders, which helps reduce inflammation, pain, and discomfort. In some cases, a chiropractic specialist may also use additional equipment, including a drop table piece, reflex-type hammer tool, and a speeder board.
