Understanding Shoulder Pain
The shoulder is one of the most complex and mobile joints in the body, making it vulnerable to injuries, overuse, and degeneration. Shoulder pain can arise from problems within the joint itself or from surrounding muscles, tendons, ligaments, or nerves. It may present as a dull ache, sharp pain, restricted movement, or even radiating discomfort down the arm.
Many shoulder conditions are linked to spinal misalignments, particularly in the cervical and thoracic spine, which can affect nerve function and muscle balance in the shoulder region. At iSpine, we address both the shoulder and spine to provide comprehensive relief.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
Rotator Cuff Injuries
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. Tears, strains, or inflammation in these tissues can lead to pain, weakness, and restricted movement.
Shoulder Impingement
When tendons or bursa within the shoulder joint become pinched between bones, it can cause shoulder impingement, leading to pain during overhead motions or lifting.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
This condition occurs when the shoulder joint capsule becomes thickened and tight, limiting motion and causing chronic pain and stiffness.
Arthritis (Osteoarthritis or Rheumatoid Arthritis)
Arthritis in the shoulder can lead to joint inflammation, stiffness, and chronic pain due to cartilage degeneration.
Spinal Misalignments (Cervical and Thoracic Spine)
Misalignments in the neck or upper back can affect nerve function and muscle balance, contributing to shoulder pain or referred pain into the arm.
Poor Posture and Muscle Imbalances
Chronic poor posture, especially with forward head or rounded shoulders, places strain on the shoulder joint and surrounding muscles, leading to pain and dysfunction.
Sports or Repetitive Motion Injuries
Overuse or repetitive activities like throwing, lifting, or working overhead can cause muscle strains, tendonitis, or joint stress in the shoulder.
How Chiropractic Care Relieves Shoulder Pain
Spinal and Shoulder Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments correct misalignments in the cervical, thoracic spine, and shoulder joint to relieve nerve irritation, restore proper mechanics, and reduce pain.
Extremity Mobilization
Our chiropractors at iSpine perform shoulder mobilizations to improve joint movement, reduce stiffness, and promote better function.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Manual therapies target muscle tension, scar tissue, and soft tissue restrictions in the shoulder, neck, and upper back to relieve discomfort and enhance mobility.
Postural Correction and Ergonomic Coaching
We provide posture assessments and ergonomic advice to correct poor movement patterns that contribute to shoulder pain, helping prevent future injuries.
Rehabilitative Exercises
Customized exercises strengthen the rotator cuff, improve shoulder stability, and support long-term recovery and function.
