HOW THE LEVATOR SCAPULA IMPACTS SHOULDER MOBILITY 101

This muscle is just a son of a gun and is something I treat quite often with a variety of tools in office such as dry needling, Neubie e-stim, IASTM/scraping, myofascial release, laser, and of course, therapeutic exercise.

While today is focused on shoulder mobility, this muscle also impacts neck pain/range of motion and even headaches.

As always, taking the time to educate patients is my number one tool in office, followed secondly with therapeutic exercise.

Why do I rank those as my top two modalities?

Because education and exercise is how I give folks actual SOLUTIONS to their complaints, not just BAND-AIDS.

If that sounds different than your current chiropractor who only seems to adjust you the same way no matter what your complaint is, it’s because it is!

If you’re ready to see what I call PERFORMANCE chiropractic care can do for you, hit the bio link or go to CoastalPerformanceChiro.janeapp.com to sign up for your ONE HOUR initial exam that includes treatment and your starting therapeutic exercise plan as well any possible lifestyle/nutritional interventions as well.
