As the seasons change from winter to spring, there also comes a change in what sports we or our children will be involved in. When the baseball and softball season starts, our office begins to see one of the most common issues that develop from throwing -
Shoulder Pain
. Shoulder pain is most likely caused by the repetitive motion and overuse of throwing a ball.
Overuse is the number one cause of throwing injuries.
Your first response to
pain in the shoulder
should be to
rest the shoulder and apply ice
. If the shoulder pain persists or gets worse, even with ice and rest, it is time to have it evaluated and treated.
Seeing a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP), with advanced training to treat sports injuries, can help ensure the shoulder heals properly and gets you back on the field faster.
If you have any other sports related injuries, Dr. Matt is here to answer questions for you. Call our office or email any sports-related questions you may have to

Good luck to all of our athletes and remember
we are here to help!
