Shoulder & Knee Pain Treatment Center
Shoulder and Knee Pain Treatment in Matawan, NJ
Dr. Sharon Barnum: A & A Chiropractic
Shoulder pain is treated without surgery or medication at our facility using gentle chiropractic adjustments combined with other non-invasive modalities including electric muscle stimulation
The shoulder joint can shift out of alignment causing the muscles and ligaments to pull differently. This leads to muscle spasms, inflammation and pain that may not go away on its own. Dr. Sharon Barnum will provide gentle adjustments to the shoulder to distract the joint or shift it forward or backward, depending on symptoms. She will also adjust the spine to bring balance to the body and improve posture. By having the neck and upper back adjusted, it will also help relieve shoulder discomfort.
Dr. Barnum also provides other treatments that effectively help reduce shoulder pain. All of our therapies work with the muscles and tissues to reduce inflammation and allow the body to stay aligned. These treatments will also help release stubborn knots from tight or damaged muscles and tissues.
These treatments include:
- Electric Muscle Stimulation
- Ultrasound Therapy
- Moist Heat
- Myofascial Therapy
- Rehabilitation Exercises
- Isometric Stretching
Chiropractic care can help with knee pain
Osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis in the knee, is caused by the gradual degradation of the cartilage in the joint. A deformity can lead to arthritis in the knee, but more often, obesity or excess weight, or repetitive stress injuries from sports are the culprits. Symptoms include pain, swelling, stiffness or locking joints.
The knee is a joint that relies heavily on ligaments and muscles for stability. When pain is perceived as coming from the knee, all the anatomical components need to be examined. In addition to the knee joint, the low back, pelvis, hip, ankle and foot need to be evaluated due to the direct influence they have on the knee, and vice versa.
How we treat patients with knee pain
Each patient that visits our facility is unique, therefore the course of treatment recommended by Dr. Barnum will vary from patient to patient. Most commonly, Dr. Barnum will utilize specific chiropractic manipulation techniques to areas of restricted movement in the knee and surrounding joints. These manipulations can increase movement, improve function and reduce pain.
Inflammation is also reduced with ice and a customized rehabilitation and exercise program will be provided by Dr. Barnum. This individualized program will include rehabilitative exercises to complete at our facility, as well as the patient’s place of residence.

10/10 recommend. I’m the “trouble” patient with issues in multiple areas of my back due to a car accident and the level of treatment I receive from the chiropractor is unmatched from other chiropractors I’ve seen in the past. Personable & friendly, and genuinely cares about your wellbeing along with getting a detailed history to determine the best treatments. I’ve followed her from two locations and will continue to follow her until the end of time due to the quality of services she provides.

Dr. Barnum is the best. She’s been treating me for multiple issues the last few months and I’m significantly better.

My back was tight and in a lot of pain. After being adjusted, I woke up the next morning feeling much better and able to move around without feeling tight.

I’ve had lower back issues from a herniated disc for about 7 years. I went to see Dr. Barnum about 6 weeks ago after not getting the results I wanted from other chiropractors. Dr. Barnum is very thorough and detailed in her assessment and care. I love the fact that she stresses preventive care (strengthening and stretching) along with medical treatments. I haven’t felt this pain free in years. She is easy to get ahold of and even made sure there was another doctor available when she was on vacation. I will continue to see Dr. Barnum and highly recommend her services. I couldn’t not be happier.

Dr Barnum is outstanding doctor. Easy to talk to. She really cares about her patients. One of my issues was that I could not move my neck. Within a a few weeks with Dr Barnum I had full range of motion. I highly recommend Dr Barnum.
