A recent study of over 6,500 patients identified the most effective treatments for shoulder problems:
Manual therapy (like what we do in our office)
Exercise
Exercise plus manual therapy
Acupuncture
Thoracic (upper back) manipulation can increase muscle activity and improve shoulder blade motion. That’s why in our practice, we typically address the upper back while treating the shoulder to help patients feel better faster.
