We had an interesting patient visit our office yesterday. He had acute right shoulder pain, and he could not lift his shoulder above 90 degrees with out severe pain. The pain was not exactly in his shoulder, but in a joint known as the sternoclavicular joint. Where your collar bone attachs to your sternum, or breast bone. He was in so much pain, and he literally could not lift his shoulder. He claimed he didn't do anything to cause this, he just got out of bed quickly, and was in sudden pain.

After a detailed patient history and physical examination, we began treatment on his sternoclavicular joint. Ultrasound therapy for 3 mintues in and around the joint, and a specific manipulation to the joint which removed the adhesions within the joint, and allowing it to return to its normal biomechanical ranges of motion with shoulder elevation. It only took several minutes for the treatment, but his pain was reduced from 9/10 to barely a 1/10. There is some residual inflammation in the area which should subside naturally in the next several days.
