There are a number of common knee and shoulder injuries that could be causing your pain, including:
- Dislocated shoulder
- Rotator cuff injury
- Acromioclavicular (AC) joint sprain
- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury
- Medical meniscus injury
- Medial ligament injury
Common Knee Injuries
Fractures
There are three bones that form your knee joint: the thigh (femur), shin (tibia), and the kneecap (patella). Usually, the patella is the one that is fractured in an injury, but the femur and tibia are also vulnerable to fractures as well. A fracture typically occurs from a severe injury such as a car accident or a fall from a considerable height.
Dislocations
Dislocations occur when the bones in your knee are either partially or fully out of place. A dislocation is more common in athletes, but can also occur from an auto accident.
Tears
Both the ligaments and cartilage in your knee are susceptible to tears. Common causes of tears usually occur in athletic events due to sudden changes in movement such as pivots and twists. Additionally, these types of injuries tend to happen in adults who are older and land awkwardly after a jump.
Common Shoulder Injuries
Overuse Injuries
Shoulder injuries that are caused by overuse typically are observed in individuals that work or play in a setting that requires repetitive movements. The joint and surrounding tissue undergo more stress than usual, which results in an injury.
Acute Injuries
Acute shoulder injuries are frequently experienced as sudden and severe pain in the joint. Bruising and swelling might also occur after the initial injury. Acute injuries are generally the result of falling on an arm, twisting it suddenly, or bending the shoulder in a way that it is not designed to bend.
Chiropractic Adjustments For Joint Pain
Chiropractic care can provide the solution you need to get relief from your pain. Depending on the severity of your injury, your chiropractor might also suggest massage therapy to help bring relaxation to the surrounding muscles.
