What Causes Shoulder Pain?

The shoulder is a complex joint prone to a range of painful conditions. Our chiropractors are trained to diagnose and treat various causes of shoulder pain, including:

• Rotator Cuff Injuries: Strains, sprains, and tears that cause pain and limit shoulder mobility.
• Tendonitis and Bursitis: Inflammation in tendons or bursae due to repetitive motion or overuse.
• Frozen Shoulder: Stiffness and restricted movement, often worsened by inactivity.
• Arthritis: Joint inflammation, causing pain and decreased range of motion.
• Pinched Nerves: Nerve compression from the neck or back, leading to pain that radiates to the shoulder.
• Dislocations and Fractures: Trauma-related injuries that need proper alignment for healing.
