Shoulder Pain

Whether you're struggling to reach overhead, lift weights, throw a ball, or simply sleep comfortably, shoulder pain can quickly interfere with the activities you enjoy most.

The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body, but that mobility also makes it vulnerable to injury, irritation, and dysfunction. At Elevated Health Chiropractic, we focus on identifying the root cause of your shoulder pain and creating a personalized treatment plan to help you move better and feel better.

Shoulder pain can develop from a variety of causes. Some of the most common conditions we see include:

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that help stabilize and move the shoulder. Strains, tendinitis, and tears can lead to pain, weakness, and limited range of motion.

Occurs when structures within the shoulder become compressed during movement, often causing pain when reaching overhead or behind the back.

Inflammation of the shoulder bursa can create pain, stiffness, and difficulty with everyday activities.

Characterized by significant stiffness and loss of shoulder mobility that can gradually worsen over time.

Sometimes shoulder pain isn't caused by a specific injury but by poor movement patterns, muscle imbalances, or restrictions in the neck, upper back, or shoulder joint itself.

The shoulder is a complex joint that depends on multiple structures working together efficiently. Pain can develop when one or more of these structures aren't functioning properly.

Common causes include:

• Repetitive overhead activities 
• Weightlifting or sports injuries 
• Poor posture 
• Muscle imbalances 
• Rotator cuff irritation 
• Previous trauma or falls 
• Restricted mobility in the neck or upper back 
• Age-related wear and tear 

Many shoulder problems develop gradually over time rather than from a single injury.

Successful treatment involves more than simply treating the painful area. We evaluate the entire movement system to identify contributing factors.

Chiropractic care may help by:

• Improving shoulder joint mobility 
• Restoring movement in the neck and upper back 
• Reducing muscle tension and compensation patterns 
• Improving posture and biomechanics 
• Enhancing overall shoulder function 

Our goal is to help your shoulder move the way it's designed to move while reducing stress on irritated tissues.

Every shoulder condition is unique, which is why we tailor treatment to your specific needs and goals.

Your care plan may include:

• Chiropractic adjustments to the neck, upper back, and shoulder complex 
• Soft tissue therapy to address tight muscles and restricted tissues
• Laser Therapy to reduce pain and inflammation and accelerate healing
• Corrective exercises to improve strength, stability, and movement quality 
• Mobility training to restore healthy range of motion 
• Activity modifications to reduce irritation while healing
