Why do I have Shoulder Pain?

Shoulder pain is most often caused by an acute or chronic injury to your shoulder. Common shoulder injuries include frozen shoulder, a dislocation of the shoulder joint, a rotator cuff injury, tendinitis, shoulder bursitis and a separated shoulder. You may also experience pain in your shoulder if you have whiplash or text neck.

What are the Symptoms of a Shoulder Injury?

Shoulder injuries often cause pain and loss of range of motion. You may find that lifting an item with your arm is difficult, and you may have trouble raising your arm above your head. You may also hear sounds when you move your shoulder and feel like your shoulder is unstable or about to come out of its socket.

Our chiropractor tailors every treatment program to the injury and the individual. Common treatment programs may include chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, corrective exercises and lifestyle advice to help you avoid reinjuring your shoulder while it heals.

How Long will it Take for My Shoulder to Heal?
