🌸 Frozen Shoulder & Menopause: What You Should Know 🌸

Did you know that frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) disproportionately affects women in their perimenopausal and menopausal years?

Hormonal shifts during this time can lead to increased inflammation and connective tissue changes — making joint mobility more vulnerable.

👩‍⚕️ Many women suddenly find themselves unable to lift their arm without pain — simple tasks like reaching for a seatbelt or brushing hair can become agonizing.

But there’s hope! 💪

🏋️‍♀️ Sports Chiropractic offers targeted, non-invasive care that addresses the joint capsule, improves range of motion, and reduces pain and inflammation. With techniques like myofascial release, mobilizations, and rehabilitative exercises, you can restore function and get back to your active life.

🌀 If you’re navigating midlife and dealing with unexplained shoulder pain, don’t ignore it. Early intervention makes a big difference!

🌿 Struggling with a dysregulated nervous system? You’re not alone — and there are natural, science-backed ways to support your healing. 💆‍♀️✨

🧠 Your nervous system controls everything from mood and sleep to digestion and pain. When it’s out of balance due to stress, trauma, or chronic inflammation, your whole body feels it. That’s where chiropractic care and red light therapy come in.

🔹 Chiropractic Adjustments help restore proper alignment in the spine, which plays a key role in regulating the autonomic nervous system (especially the parasympathetic “rest and repair” side). This can reduce nervous system overdrive, improve vagus nerve function, and promote calm.

🔹 Red Light Therapy (LLLT) works at the cellular level, reducing inflammation, increasing ATP (energy) production, and calming overactive nerves. It’s also been shown to support brain health, improve sleep, and reduce pain — all essential for a balanced nervous system.

💡 Together, these therapies form a powerful combo for anyone dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, fatigue, or nervous system dysregulation.

👉 Curious if this approach is right for you? DM us or give us a call — your nervous system will thank you! 💖

We pride ourselves in getting to know our patients and what they may be experiencing in life at that moment that may be affecting their health. Stress plays such a critical role in how are bodies respond on a daily basis.

Stress can manifest as physical pain in the body through a number of well-documented physiological and psychological mechanisms. Here's how that happens:

🧠 1. Muscle Tension

How it works: Under stress, your body activates the "fight-or-flight" response, causing muscles to contract and remain tense.

Common pain areas:

Neck and shoulders (leading to tension headaches)
Jaw (can cause temporomandibular joint pain or teeth grinding)
Lower back

💓 2. Nervous System Activation

Chronic stress keeps the sympathetic nervous system activated.
This increases sensitivity to pain by reducing your pain threshold (called central sensitization).

Result: Even minor aches can feel more intense.

💨 3. Shallow Breathing and Oxygen Deprivation

Stress causes shallow, rapid breathing.
Poor oxygen delivery to muscles and tissues can cause:

Chest tightness
Dizziness
Muscle cramps

🌡️ 4. Inflammatory Response

Chronic stress raises cortisol levels.
Over time, this can lead to chronic inflammation, contributing to:

Joint pain
Autoimmune flare-ups
Gut pain (e.g., IBS, ulcers)

🌀 5. Gut-Brain Axis Disruption

Stress affects the enteric nervous system (the "second brain" in your gut).

Manifestations:

Stomach pain
Bloating
Constipation or diarrhea
Nausea

😣 6. Psychosomatic Symptoms
Stress, anxiety, or trauma can cause pain that has no clear physical origin but is very real.

Often occurs in:

Head (migraines)
Chest (non-cardiac chest pain)
Pelvis (in chronic pelvic pain syndromes)

🔁 7. Pain-Stress Cycle

Pain itself causes stress, which then increases the perception of pain.
This creates a vicious cycle that can be hard to break without addressing both mind and body.

Thankfully, at our office we have many tools to help you break the cycle and live a more fulfilling life. Give us a call today!
