Home Remedy #5: How To Stamp Out Shoulder Pain & Stiffness
Welcome back to another issue of the Home Remedy Series!
How To Stamp Out Shoulder Pain & Stiffness

Pain in your shoulders can happen at anytime. It usually happens from over exertion, or
doing something repetitively. If the pain goes on too long, your shoulder can freeze up. The experts call this: "Frozen Shoulder Syndrome".

The best home remedy I've found for shoulder pain and stiffness with Frozen shoulder involves swinging a gallon jug or a light free weight (or a gallon water jug) in a circular motion with the arm hanging down. Imagine this..you are sitting down and leaning forward slightly while your arm hangs down. You are holding a small jug or free weight and swinging your arm in a circular motion to get more movement in your "frozen shoulder".
You Fill a one-gallon jug with about 2 inches of water. Remember, this isn't a weightlifting exercise. We only want the water to help you create momentum as you swing the gallon jug.

Swing the gallon jug in a circular movement . . . 10 circles clockwise . . . and 10 circles counterclockwise.. . with each arm. Do this twice daily. Once in the morning, and once in the evening. Please leave the jug on the kitchen counter, or on a kitchen table to remind you. If you put the jug away, you'll forget to do this simple exercise.

Now, you can work up to larger circular movements to get more range of motion in the shoulder.
Please be patient, your results will come if you keep doing this exercise.
**Note: Use this exercise at your own risk. Obtain a thorough consultation and proper diagnosis before treatment or exercises are performed. Please consult our office if you are experiencing any pain or restriction in your shoulder, neck or back as Chiropractic and Massage have helped many people with these conditions.
