Shoulder Pain Treatment in Round Rock
Restore Your Shoulder Function: Expert Care That Understands
Dr. Harris brings unique insight to shoulder pain treatment because he’s experienced it firsthand. Having dislocated his shoulder, torn cartilage, and suffered multiple shoulder injuries, he understands exactly what you’re going through – not just clinically, but personally. This combination of professional chiropractic care expertise and personal experience creates an unusually empathetic and effective approach to shoulder care.
Your shoulder is remarkably complex, with an incredible range of motion that allows you to reach, lift, and move in countless ways throughout your day. However, this mobility comes at the cost of stability – your shoulder essentially “dangles” from your body, held in place by a capsule that creates suction and the network of rotator cuff muscles surrounding it.
Advanced Treatment for Complex Problems
Shoulder injuries often involve multiple components that must be addressed together for complete healing. Dr. Harris combines precise joint adjustments to restore normal range of motion with targeted treatment for rotator cuff injuries, depending on their severity. His Gonstead training allows him to increase nerve flow from your neck to your shoulder muscles, which is crucial because these muscles need to be strong to support this mobile joint.
Addressing Hidden Complications
One surprising finding in shoulder treatment is how certain muscles in the back of your shoulder can become tight from sleep posture, leaning on your arm, or previous injuries. When these muscles tighten, they can actually pinch nerves and cause numbness and tingling down into your arm and hand. Dr. Harris uses specialized soft tissue work to relax these muscles and relieve pressure on the axillary nerve, which not only eliminates the numbness but also helps restore strength to your shoulder.
Many patients don’t realize their shoulder weakness and arm numbness are connected, but addressing both issues together often produces dramatically better results.
Correcting Postural Problems
Family Wellness at Teravista sees many patients with forward head posture and shoulders that have rotated forward from desk work, phone use, and daily habits. Dr. Harris’s shoulder adjustments help relax tight chest muscles and allow patients to finally correct their posture and recenter their head over their body’s center of gravity. This creates lasting improvements that go far beyond just pain relief.
Remarkable Recovery Stories
Dr. Harris has helped hundreds of patients avoid shoulder surgery and regain full function. Success stories include patients with frozen shoulder who couldn’t lift their arms regaining complete range of motion, and even a patient with spastic paralysis in their arm who regained normal joint motion immediately after adjustment. While every case is unique, these examples demonstrate the remarkable healing potential when the right expertise meets the right treatment approach.
