Many doctors and chiropractors will likely agree that shoulder pain is a common complaint among patients. I know I see it frequently in my practice.

​As a chiropractor in Colorado Springs I want to help patients pinpoint the cause of their pain and get them on the path toward recovery as quickly and naturally as possible. When a patient visits a chiropractic professional, they will need to discuss all the symptoms, as well as how long they have experienced those symptoms. They will also need to discuss their daily activities, as well as any sports or recreational activities in which they participate, along with their job and what it entails.
