Understanding Shoulder Pain
The shoulder is one of the most mobile and complex joints in your body, allowing for a wide range of motion in multiple directions. This mobility comes at the cost of stability, making the shoulder vulnerable to injury and pain. Shoulder pain can significantly impact your ability to perform daily activities, from reaching overhead to lifting objects or even sleeping comfortably.
Common causes of shoulder pain include rotator cuff injuries (tears or strains), shoulder impingement syndrome, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), bursitis, tendonitis, arthritis, and poor posture. Athletes, manual laborers, and people who perform repetitive overhead activities are particularly susceptible to shoulder problems. Even desk workers can develop shoulder pain from poor ergonomics and prolonged computer use.

Our Shoulder Pain Treatment Approach
We create personalized treatment plans that address your specific shoulder condition:
Chiropractic Adjustments
Precise adjustments to the shoulder, thoracic spine, and cervical spine restore proper joint mechanics and reduce nerve irritation. Proper spinal alignment is essential for optimal shoulder function.
Physical Therapy
Targeted exercises strengthen rotator cuff muscles, improve scapular stability, and restore full range of motion. We teach you exercises to continue at home for lasting results.
Myofascial Release
Hands-on therapy releases tension in shoulder muscles and surrounding fascia, improving mobility and reducing pain. This technique is especially effective for frozen shoulder and chronic tightness.
Shockwave Therapy
Advanced acoustic wave technology stimulates healing in chronic shoulder conditions like calcific tendonitis and rotator cuff tendinopathy, accelerating recovery without surgery.
