Frozen Shoulder

Carolina Chiropractic Center treats numerous musculoskeletal problems, such as “frozen shoulder.” Also known as adhesive capsulitis, frozen shoulder is a condition that involves stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. This happens when the tissue around the shoulder joint loses its synovial fluid and causes limited mobility. If you have significant shoulder pain, we recommend that you come in for a visit so that the root of the problem can be diagnosed and we can get you on a treatment plan.

Symptoms of frozen shoulder:

• 
  

  Stiffness

  
  


• 
  

  Very limited mobility

  
  


• 
  

  Dull or achy pain

  
  


• 
  

  Difficulty doing daily activities

  
  


• 
  

  Increase in these symptoms over time

  
  

Women are more susceptible to this condition than men, and especially affects people who have had a stroke or mastectomy. We at Carolina Chiropractic Center are committed to helping our patients reach the full extent of their mobility and live pain-free lives. We treat frozen shoulder with a variety of exercises that help with range-of-motion, joint manipulation, and chiropractic adjustments.

Chiropractic Care for Personal Injury

When bodily harm occurs from being involved in any type of accident, specifically outside of your workplace, it is considered personal injury. We at Carolina Chiropractic Center recommend coming in for a visit so that we can assess the damage and get you on the road to recovery. Whether it be a single or series of adjustments, your chiropractor is one of the best options for uncovering underlying issues from your accident.

Examples of personal injuries:

• 
  

  Auto accidents

  
  


• 
  

  Motorcycle accidents

  
  


• 
  

  Bicycle accidents

  
  


• 
  

  A slip, trip, or fall

  
  

While a doctor treats symptoms with prescriptions, a chiropractor works to correct the problem with focused stretching of the affected muscles and careful adjustments. We recommend against letting your injury go untreated since this can cause more problems down the line, and affect your quality of life even more than the accident already has. If you find that everyday tasks cannot be done without significant pain, it may be time to schedule an appointment with Dr. James Huggins Jr.

Carolina Chiropractic Center is located at 1627 S Irby Suite C, in Florence, SC 29505. For more information on chiropractic adjustments or to schedule an appointment, visit carolinachirocenter.com or call 843-665-9192.

 

Benefits of Custom Foot Orthotics

At Carolina Chiropractic Center, our custom foot orthotics are a great way to help with issues related to walking and alignment. These issues include, but are not limited to knee, foot, and lower back pain. Custom foot orthotics also reduce peak pressure due to shock absorption to provide patients with relief from daily stress and injury. Overall, this is a great investment into your overall health and wellbeing through a biomechanical standpoint.

The mechanical properties of foot orthotics help to ensure the correct positioning of the bones in the feet, ankles, and knees. This is because the muscles and ligaments leading up to the hips and holding leg bones in place are prevented from stretching over time, which can lead to further injury and aggravation. In general, orthotics are really for anyone with an issue or discomfort related to walking or have imbalances in the body that are known to cause related pain. Additionally, custom foot orthotics are made for you and only you so they offer optimal comfort!

If you think you may benefit from custom foot orthotics, please give us a call. To learn about the services we provide at our office, visit www.carolinachirocenter.com for more information.
