Helping you move without discomfort
How chiropractic care can help with shoulder pain.
Your shoulder is an incredibly mobile joint, relying on the coordinated movement of joints, muscles and tendons throughout your shoulder, upper back and neck.
Pain can develop following an injury, repetitive movements, prolonged strain or gradual changes in how these areas are moving together. You may experience a constant ache, sharp pain with certain movements, stiffness or a noticeable reduction in your range of motion.
Chiropractic care looks beyond the painful area to understand how your shoulder and surrounding joints and muscles are functioning.
By identifying restrictions and other factors that may be contributing to your symptoms, we can create a personalised approach focused on relieving discomfort, improving mobility and helping your shoulder function more comfortably.
Don’t let shoulder pain restrict how you move.
Understanding your shoulder pain
Finding out what’s causing your discomfort.
Shoulder pain can have a number of different causes, and the area where you feel the pain isn’t always where the problem originates.
Your first appointment is focused on understanding your symptoms and how they’re affecting you.
We’ll discuss when the pain started, movements that aggravate it, any previous injuries and how your shoulder is affecting your work, sleep, exercise and everyday activities.
We’ll then assess the movement and function of your shoulder alongside your neck, upper back and surrounding muscles to help identify what may be contributing to your symptoms.
Where clinically appropriate, we may recommend digital X-rays or further investigation to ensure you receive the most appropriate care.
Personalised chiropractic care
Relieving pain and restoring shoulder movement.
Once we understand what’s contributing to your shoulder pain, we’ll create a treatment plan tailored to your symptoms, lifestyle and goals.
Depending on your assessment, treatment may include gentle chiropractic adjustments to improve joint movement, soft tissue techniques to reduce muscular tension and targeted exercises to improve mobility, strength and stability around the shoulder.
We’ll also provide practical advice around movement, posture and everyday activities to help reduce unnecessary strain as your shoulder recovers.
Whether you want to get back to the gym, return to sport, work comfortably or simply reach overhead without pain, your care will be focused on helping you regain comfortable, confident movement.
