Shoulder pain can sneak up on you—whether it's a pinch when reaching overhead, tightness during workouts, or aching at night. The shoulder is a complex joint that relies heavily on balance, control, and stability. Whether it’s rotator cuff irritation, impingement, or general shoulder dysfunction, we help restore pain-free movement and strength.

Shoulder & Rotator Cuff Discomfort

  • How We Treat It

    Shoulder discomfort often stems from poor mechanics, muscle imbalances, past injuries, or overuse. We focus on identifying and correcting the underlying cause, not just managing symptoms.

    Our approach includes:

    Chiropractic Adjustments: Restore proper motion in the shoulder, neck, and upper back to reduce compensation and strain.

    Soft Tissue Therapy: Target tight or overactive muscles like the pec minor, upper traps, posterior cuff, or biceps tendon.

    Dry Needling: Calm down overactive rotator cuff or scapular stabilizers and improve neuromuscular activation.

    Shockwave Therapy: Accelerate healing in chronic conditions like rotator cuff tendinosis or calcific tendonitis.

    Rehabilitation Exercises: Improve scapular control, rotator cuff strength, and shoulder stability through progressive, functional movement.

    Benefits to you:

    Reduced pain with lifting, reaching, or sleeping

    Improved range of motion and joint control

    Increased strength for training or daily activity

    Long-term shoulder health and injury prevention

  • FAQs About Shoulder & Rotator Cuff Pain

    How do I know if it’s my rotator cuff?
     Pain with overhead movement, weakness, or pain while sleeping on your side may indicate a rotator cuff issue. We assess thoroughly to pinpoint the cause.

    Is chiropractic care helpful for shoulder pain?
     Yes! When combined with soft tissue work and rehab, chiropractic care can improve joint function and relieve surrounding tension.

    Do I need imaging first?
     Not usually. We can often diagnose and treat the issue without imaging unless there's trauma or severe dysfunction.

    Do I have to stop lifting or working out?
     Nope—we’ll guide you through modifications and safe progressions so you can keep moving while recovering.

    How long until I feel better?
     Many people start feeling relief within a few visits. Long-term improvement and return to full activity often take 6–8 weeks, depending on severity.
