Pain Shoulder and Car Accidents Gresham.

Shoulder Pain is a common problem after an auto injury, and it’s something that Dr. Robert Ramsey sees often in our Gresham, OR office. The key to recovering from shoulder pain caused by a crash is to understand the root cause of the problem and how chiropractic care can help.


There are at least two ways that you can develop shoulder pain after an accident: by direct injury to the shoulder or by referred pain from the neck.


Direct trauma can be caused by striking your shoulder on a hard surface in the car during the impact, or can occur if you have a tight grip on the steering wheel during a rear end collision. With this type of injury, you’ll often be aware of the pain shortly after the crash.


More frequently, Dr. Robert Ramsey finds that shoulder or arm pain does not immediately appear after a collision, but starts a few days or weeks after the injury. This type of shoulder discomfort actually starts in the cervical spine. Injured soft tissue in your spine can tweak nerves in your neck, causing numbness, tingling, or soreness in your shoulder, elbow, or wrist.

We’ve worked with both kinds of shoulder pain in our Gresham, OR


 office. This approach involves chiropractic adjustments to restore your spine’s natural flexibility and home exercises that strengthen your neck and shoulder.


Dr. Robert Ramsey is here in Gresham, OR to help you recover from shoulder pain. We’ve been helping patients since 1997 and we can probably help you, too. Dr. Robert Ramsey will first determine what’s causing your pain and then work to restore your body to its natural functioning. Ready to make an appointment?
