Shoulder and Elbow Pain
Understanding Shoulder and Elbow Pain and How Chiropractic and Acupuncture Care at Auckland Wellness Centre Can Help
What is Shoulder and Elbow Pain?
Shoulder and elbow pain can significantly impact your daily activities and quality of life. This type of pain is often persistent and commonly results from overuse. It frequently affects both young and adult athletes, as well as individuals with physically demanding or repetitive jobs. Without proper treatment, shoulder and elbow pain can lead to further issues such as back and neck pain or symptoms like tingling and numbness in the hands.
How Can Chiropractic Care Help with Shoulder and Elbow Pain?
Chiropractic care offers an effective way to manage and alleviate discomfort and swelling associated with shoulder and elbow pain. At Auckland Wellness Centre, we provide a safe, non-invasive, and non-addictive alternative to prescription and over-the-counter medications, which are commonly used to manage such pain.
Our chiropractors use gentle, non-invasive therapies known as chiropractic adjustments. These adjustments aim to reduce joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and other joints, thereby decreasing inflammation and improving the function of the affected joints and nervous system. By enhancing joint mobility and optimizing nervous system function, chiropractic care can help your body better manage the symptoms of shoulder and elbow pain.

Acupuncture can provide a complementary approach to chiropractic care, enhancing the overall effectiveness of your treatment plan.
