[Trombone-l] Shoulder impingement

[Gary Sloane]

 An MRI can reveal structural/functional problems that even the best chiropractor or physical therapist cannot. Assuming that something like shoulder cuff surgery is not indicated, diagnostic imaging can suggest what therapies, manipulations or exercises would help and which might cause further damage. 

FWIW, although we have lots of experience with chiropractic, yoga, acupuncture, and physical therapy, my wife had the surgery, and it was successful. I got evaluated and found that my condition didn't warrant the surgery (which I didn't want anyway) but that some exercises I was doing were making it worse. 

YMMV, of course. Good luck whatever you decide.

 Just speaking from own similar troubles: It could be a nerve impengement
where the nerve to your shoulder exits your cervical spine, or an
impingement in the shoulder itself. A good chiropractor can evaluate these,
and either treat them or refer you to an MD. Also, simply sleeping with
your head or shoulder in a stressed position can leave a kink that stays
after you get up. Movement can be helpful: I get benefits from yoga or
other workout most mornings.
