Do they eventually heal on their own ? Tweaked my (right) shoulder abut 3 months ago and then again about 3-4 weeks ago. Since then I get sporadic pins and needles in my neck and up the side of my face. It seems like maybe... ? it's getting better ? I've been stretching and doing shoulder exercises but it's slow going at best. If I turn my head to the right I can almost turn it on and off like a rheostat. Do these things eventually heal on their own ?
I tweaked it bodysurfing, it's happened before but this is the first time it's resulted in pins and needles up my neck and face. My thoughts are to just wait it out but it's lingering and starting to get irritating lol. Any helpful hints ? I know most of you in here have been fucked up every which way from Sunday at some point in time so it seems like as good a place as any to seek out any healing tips or do's and don'ts

If you've been dealing with that for close to a month there's probably more to it.
Seeing a Chiropractor who also does Acupuncture, Ultra Sound and soft tissue electro stimulation.
It won't heal on it's own i have put it off for a couple years and now it is chronic and i will be at least another couple months before it's all good again.Of course i'm 61 so if you are younger probably with therapy it will go faster for you.
I would find a good Chiro that does soft tissue work as well they will bring you around pretty quick.
I ruptured my left shoulder rotator cuff in 16 in a moto crash and this same Chiro had me back on the bike in 3 months.
No surgery it will heal better and you will have more range of motion if you do the therapy and let it heal naturally.
The Shop
What was the recommendation that helped you sinus infections if you don't mind me asking ?
Deep tissue massage may help as well, but don't be scared of the back-cracker
Most of the time it is due to someone having something out of place for a long time and the muscles and other tissue attached get used to the new out of place position. When a Chiro moves the bone back to where it is supposed to be the muscles and tissue get traumatized with that sudden movement and of course get painful as they adjust to being torn from their previous position thus folks feel that the Chiro did more damage but really they have fixed the damage and it will take a few days for the surrounding tissue to heal.
This is where the soft tissue manipulation comes in it helps heal it much faster and minimizes the trauma of the adjustment.
If you have had something out for a long time it will get worse/painful before it gets better but they will bring you around if you keep up the therapy.
If you ride a lot or race i would recommend seeing a Chiro at least once a month to keep everything tuned up and in proper alignment so major issues never crop up as your spine really takes a beating on a dirt bike.
