Shoulder Pain Treatment
What can cause shoulder pain?
There are many reasons you might develop shoulder pain. Common causes we see include:
- Postural strain from long hours at a desk or device
- Muscle overuse or fatigue
- Restricted movement in the shoulder or upper back
- Rotator cuff dysfunction
- Referred pain from the neck or upper spine
We’ll conduct a thorough assessment to understand the root of your issue before beginning treatment.
Chiropractic treatment for shoulder pain
Chiropractors are trained to assess and treat the musculoskeletal system, including the spine, shoulder, and related structures. If your pain is coming from a mechanical or joint-related cause, we may help using the following methods:
Gentle joint mobilisation or adjustments
Targeting restricted movement in the spine or shoulder to help restore function.
Soft tissue techniques
Addressing muscle tension, tightness, or overuse.
Postural & ergonomic advice
Supporting you to maintain better shoulder and spinal alignment. Especially important if your job involves desk work or repetitive movements.
Exercise guidance
We may recommend tailored mobility and strengthening exercises to assist recovery and support your long-term shoulder health.
If needed, we’ll refer you to another health practitioner for additional care.
