Understanding Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints, affecting both office workers and active individuals. The shoulder is the most mobile joint in your body, which makes it particularly vulnerable to injury and pain.
Common causes include rotator cuff injuries (tears or strains), frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), shoulder impingement syndrome, bursitis, tendinitis, arthritis, labral tears, and referred pain from neck problems. Many people develop shoulder pain from repetitive overhead activities, poor posture, sports injuries, or degenerative changes with aging.
The shoulder joint is complex, made up of the glenohumeral joint (ball and socket), the acromioclavicular joint (collarbone and shoulder blade), and the scapulothoracic joint (shoulder blade and ribcage). Problems with any of these structures, or with the surrounding muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bursa, can cause shoulder pain.

We don't just treat symptoms – we identify and address the underlying cause to provide lasting relief and prevent future problems.

Our Shoulder Pain Treatment Approach
We provide comprehensive relief by addressing the root causes of your shoulder pain:
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle adjustments restore proper shoulder, spine, and rib alignment. This reduces nerve irritation and improves joint function, allowing you to move with less pain.
Physical Therapy
Targeted exercises strengthen rotator cuff muscles, improve posture, and correct movement patterns. We teach you strategies to prevent shoulder pain from recurring.
Myofascial Release
Hands-on therapy releases tension in shoulder, neck, and upper back muscles. This improves mobility and reduces the muscle tension that contributes to shoulder pain.
Shockwave Therapy
Advanced treatment for chronic shoulder tendinitis and calcific deposits. Stimulates healing and reduces pain in stubborn cases that haven't responded to other therapies.
