An X-ray would be unrevealing In The event of a small rotator cuff injury. A thorough examination requires an MRI.

Avoid the chiropractor, most of them are useless. Find an acupuncture specialist and embrace the miracle of their treatments.

However I would also get a second and third opinion and find a doctor who will do their job and send you for an MRI before shooting you up with hormones that can have questionable side effects.

Upper Cervical Chiropractic has done wonders for me. Conventional ones were so so to OK.

I used to think accupuncture was corny. Skeptic me wound up trying it after some stuff happened. It feels kind of weird but it’s the best rest I get. Apparently it helps a little with snoring too.

The chiropractor I went to was really good. Had a nerve pinch due to a bulged disc in my neck. It was so bad I couldn’t move my head at all and had numbness in my left arm. The first week was three visits with the electrodes on my neck and shoulder with my head in a sling like thing that applied traction to my neck. They did the manipulation starting the second week. Overall it was ten sessions in five weeks, and now going on six years since the treatment I havnt had an issue.
