Chiropractic care for shoulder and elbow pain

Shoulder or elbow discomfort can make lifting, desk work, sport and ordinary tasks difficult. There are several possible causes, so it helps to understand when symptoms began and which movements aggravate them. MyChiro in Bondi Junction offers chiropractic assessment for suitable musculoskeletal concerns. You can meet Dr Steven Lockstone (Chiropractor) before deciding whether to book.

What is elbow and shoulder pain?

Shoulder and elbow symptoms can be related to tendon irritation, joint problems, an injury or another health condition. Tennis elbow, frozen shoulder and other conditions do not all have the same cause or management. If pain is severe, follows significant trauma or is associated with weakness, swelling or other concerning symptoms, seek appropriate medical assessment.

What can you expect from My Chiro chiropractic care for shoulder and elbow pain?

Your first visit starts with a discussion of your symptoms, relevant history and everyday activities. An appropriate examination can help determine whether chiropractic management may be suitable or whether a GP, physiotherapist or other professional should be involved.

If treatment is recommended, we’ll explain what it involves, relevant risks, alternatives and the likely costs before you decide. For related information about another spinal condition, see our article on scoliosis assessment and care options.

What options might be discussed for shoulder and elbow pain?

The appropriate approach depends on the assessment. Options may include activity modification, exercise advice, treatment for relevant musculoskeletal concerns or referral for further medical evaluation. No single treatment suits everyone, and responses vary.

If shoulder or elbow pain is getting in the way of work or exercise, you can ask MyChiro a question or book a free initial consultation at our Bondi Junction clinic. The offer is for new patients and includes assessment and advice. Treatment is not included; optional same-day treatment is $125 if clinically appropriate, with no obligation to proceed.
