A Personal Message From Dr. Brittany A. Forbes
- Are you troubled by persistent shoulder pain and stiffness that seems unaffected by rest?
- Do you feel frustrated that traditional remedies like pain medications, massages, or chiropractic treatments haven't alleviated your shoulder discomfort and may even have exacerbated it?
- Are you finding it difficult to fall asleep due to discomfort in your preferred sleeping position?
- Are you someone who prioritizes their health and seeks a sustainable solution to live an active lifestyle free from pain?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, you’ve come to the right place!
It’s common to dismiss shoulder pain as inconsequential, assuming it will resolve itself over time.
Many people attribute it to “sleeping awkwardly” or consider it a normal part of aging that everyone must endure at some point in life.
If you’re experiencing these sentiments, rest assured, you’re not alone. At Alpha Osteopractic in Hampstead, NC, we encounter such concerns frequently.
In fact, shoulder pain is a prevalent issue among runners and athletes whom we assist in our clinic.
Before seeking treatment at Alpha Osteopractic, many of our patients suffering from shoulder pain are advised to:
- "Just rest" or take a break from exercise, expecting the pain to dissipate (only to find themselves still suffering months later).
- Accept shoulder pain as a normal part of aging that must be endured.
- Rely on pain medication for lifelong mobility and exercise.
- Believe that surgery and injections are the sole solutions.
The Truth About Shoulder Pain for Runners and Athletes Is…
- Resting alone doesn't resolve the issue. While it may offer temporary relief, once you resume activity, the shoulder pain returns—an experience you may already be familiar with.
- Shoulder pain and stiffness are not inevitable consequences of aging.
- Pain medication can be addictive, harmful, and lead to additional health concerns.
- Surgery and injections are not the only options; they're simply the options your surgeon may propose.
