Common Reasons for Shoulder Pain

Shoulder discomfort can develop from:

• Rotator cuff irritation
• Postural strain and upper back stiffness
• Bursitis or impingement
• Overuse or repetitive movements
• Reduced mobility in the shoulder joint
• Weakness in the shoulder blade stabilisers
• Previous injuries

Many shoulder issues are also linked to how the spine, ribs and neck move.

Your Shoulder Assessment

Your chiropractor will assess:

• Shoulder range of motion
• Muscle strength and control
• Scapular (shoulder blade) movement
• Neck and upper back contribution
• Functional movements related to your daily activities

This guides a tailored plan designed to restore comfort and function.

How Chiropractic Helps Shoulder Pain

Treatment may include:

• Shoulder joint mobilisation
• Soft-tissue therapy for rotator cuff and surrounding muscles
• Dry needling for tight or irritated areas
• Chiropractic adjustments (if the neck or upper back is involved)
• Stability exercises for the shoulder blade and rotator cuff
• Postural correction and movement coaching

Our goal is to ease pain, improve movement and help you return to the activities you enjoy.
