  • Shoulder Pain
    Health News from Ponte Vedra Wellness Center Family Chiropractic Care in Ponte Vedra Beach & Nocatee Town Center Dr. Erika Hamer, DC, DIBCN, DIBE CHIROPRACTIC FROM HEAD TO TOE – SHOULDER PAIN he shoulder is a very unique and complex joint. It is the only articulation in the body whose stability is granted primarily by muscular balance instead of being held Ttogether by the integrity of its ligaments. Have you ever heard of the ROTATOR CUFF? This is the collection of four shoulder muscles that help perform this function: namely the supraspinatus, the infraspinatus, the teres minor and subscapularis. In addition, there are multiple bones that come togeth- er to make up the shoulder joint: the humerus (upper arm), the scapula (the shoulder blade) and the clavicle (the collar bone). Therefore, problems with the align- ment of any of these bones will directly aff ect shoulder function, potentially leading to dysfunction and painful symptoms in this joint. Finally, many nerves lead to the shoulder, infl uencing motor control of the shoulder and providing sensory feedback from the shoulder to the brain. The main source of these nerves is the cervical spine (the neck). How Chiropractic Helps Shoulders So, how can your chiropractor help when you have a shoulder problem? Just like every other joint in the body, the shoulder works best when all its moving parts are in proper alignment. As you will discover below, the most important factor contributing to the proper function of the shoulder is the alignment of your spine, with each major area of the spine contributing in a signifi cant way to the health of your shoulder.

  • WCAT Decision 2005-02580
    WCAT Decision Number: WCAT-2005-02580 NOTEWORTHY DECISION SUMMARY Decision: WCAT-2005-02580 Panel: Joanne Kembel Decision Date: May 19, 2005 Pre-existing Conditions – Shoulder Dislocation – Wage Loss Benefits – Section 29(1) of the Workers Compensation Act – Section 30(1) of the Act – Policy Item #15.60 of the Rehabilitation Services and Claims Manual, Volume II (RSCM II) This case is noteworthy as an example of the application of those portions of policy item #15.60 of the Rehabilitation Services and Claims Manual, Volume II (RSCM II) which provide rules for the payment of benefits in shoulder dislocation claims where the worker has previously experienced a non-compensable shoulder dislocation. Item #15.60 of the RSCM II provides that if a worker has a prior non-compensable shoulder dislocation and suffers another dislocation at work, the later dislocation will only be compensable if there was a work incident of “sufficient causative significance to induce the further dislocation”. Once the claim is accepted the policy provides rules in respect of the payment of benefits. The policy provides, firstly, that temporary wage loss benefits will “normally endure no more than two weeks,” and secondly, that any surgery, after the injury, which is directed at repairing damage from the prior dislocation will not be compensable except in cases where: a) the shoulder has been stable for many years prior to the dislocation at work, or b) the dislocation at work was induced by “severe trauma.” In this case, the worker dislocated his left shoulder. The worker had a long history of left shoulder dislocations, and had surgery on his left shoulder three years earlier.
