What We Do
We take a holistic, patient-centered approach to treating shoulder pain. Understanding that the shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body but also one of the most prone to injury, our chiropractic treatments focus on restoring proper function to the joint, relieving pain, and improving mobility. We combine various treatment modalities, including spinal adjustments, low-level laser therapy, and joint mobilization, to address the underlying causes of discomfort and prevent future injuries.
Shoulder pain can arise from numerous factors, including poor posture, injuries, overuse, and degenerative conditions such as arthritis. Our chiropractor is skilled in diagnosing these issues and creating tailored treatment plans that target the specific causes of pain. By using a combination of manual therapies and corrective exercises, we help patients regain shoulder function and enjoy long-lasting relief.
We also emphasize preventive care by offering patients practical lifestyle advice and exercises to maintain shoulder health and avoid recurring injuries. This approach ensures that our treatments provide sustainable results.
How We Can Help Relieve Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can arise from various conditions, including rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, and bursitis. At our clinic, we create personalized care plans that not only address the immediate symptoms but also target the root cause of your pain for a lasting solution.
Spinal Adjustments for Shoulder Pain
The shoulder joint gets all its power and nerve input from the nerves in the neck and upper back, meaning that misalignments in the spine can contribute to shoulder pain by creating nerve interference. Spinal adjustments are a key part of our approach to treating shoulder pain. Our chiropractors gently realign the spine to reduce pressure on the nerves that affect the shoulder and upper body.
By correcting misalignments in the cervical and thoracic spine, we help alleviate pain, improve posture, and restore mobility to the shoulder joint. Chiropractic adjustments are particularly effective for patients suffering from conditions such as nerve impingement, poor posture, or repetitive stress injuries.
Spinal adjustments are a safe, non-invasive treatment that not only provides immediate relief but also improves long-term spinal health. This form of care ensures that the muscles, tendons, and ligaments around the shoulder function properly.
Cold/Low-Level Laser Therapy for Shoulder Pain
In many cases, shoulder pain can cause degeneration to the surrounding tissues and cells. Low-level laser therapy is regenerative by nature, and stimulates the healing process of these inflamed cells. This therapy is an essential component of our shoulder pain treatment plans. This laser stimulates ATP (cellular energy), which kickstarts the healing process, by improving circulation and promoting healing in the affected tissues.
This therapy is particularly beneficial for patients suffering from conditions such as shoulder bursitis, tendinitis, or rotator cuff injuries. By adding this regenerative component, patients are much more likely to recover, and recover faster!
Corrective Exercises and Rehabilitation
In addition to chiropractic adjustments and low level laser therapy, we offer corrective exercises and rehabilitation programs designed to strengthen the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint and prevent future injuries. Many cases of shoulder pain are caused or exacerbated by muscle imbalances, poor posture, or improper movement patterns. Our chiropractors will work with you to develop an exercise plan that addresses these issues.
Corrective exercises are designed to improve shoulder stability, increase flexibility, and correct any postural imbalances that may be contributing to your pain. These exercises play a crucial role in preventing recurring injuries and ensuring long-term shoulder health. Our team provides personalized guidance on performing these exercises correctly, ensuring that you get the maximum benefit from your rehabilitation program.

Frequently Asked Questions
Chiropractic care is an effective, non-invasive treatment option for shoulder pain. Chiropractors focus on correcting spinal misalignments, which can contribute to shoulder pain by putting pressure on the nerves that affect the shoulder joint. Through gentle spinal adjustments, chiropractors help realign the spine, reduce nerve irritation, and restore proper joint function. In addition to spinal adjustments, chiropractors often use low-level laser therapy and exercises to regenerate damaged tissues, and improve mobility in the shoulder area. Chiropractic care treats the underlying cause of shoulder pain, leading to long-lasting relief without the need for surgery or medication.
The most common causes of shoulder pain include rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), and bursitis. Rotator cuff injuries often result from repetitive overhead movements or acute trauma, leading to inflammation or tears in the tendons and muscles. Frozen shoulder occurs when the joint capsule surrounding the shoulder becomes thick and tight, restricting movement. Bursitis is caused by inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the shoulder joint. These conditions can significantly limit movement and cause chronic pain, but chiropractic care can help address the underlying causes and improve function.
Yes, chiropractic care is generally considered a safe and effective treatment for shoulder pain when performed by a licensed and experienced chiropractor. Chiropractic adjustments are non-invasive and designed to improve joint function without the risks associated with surgery or long-term medication use. Chiropractors use gentle, targeted techniques to realign the spine and shoulder joint, helping to reduce pain and restore mobility. Most patients experience significant relief during the initial phase of their treatment plan, but the number of treatments needed can vary based on the severity of the condition. A thorough evaluation will determine if chiropractic care is the right treatment for your shoulder pain.
The time it takes to experience relief from shoulder pain through chiropractic care depends on the severity of the condition and the underlying cause of the pain. Some patients may begin to feel improvements during the initial phase of their treatment plan, particularly if their pain is due to muscle tension or minor joint misalignments. For more chronic or severe conditions, such as rotator cuff tears or frozen shoulder, it may take several weeks of regular chiropractic care to achieve lasting results. Your chiropractor will develop a personalized treatment plan and provide an estimate of how many sessions may be necessary to relieve your shoulder pain.
Yes, chiropractic care can help prevent future episodes of shoulder pain by addressing the underlying issues that contribute to pain and injury. Regular chiropractic adjustments maintain proper spinal and joint alignment, reducing the risk of muscle imbalances and nerve compression that can lead to shoulder pain. Chiropractors often provide patients with corrective exercises and postural advice to strengthen the muscles around the shoulder joint and improve flexibility. By maintaining good posture and strengthening supporting muscles, patients can prevent shoulder pain from recurring and reduce the likelihood of future injuries.
During your first chiropractic visit for shoulder pain, the chiropractor will perform a thorough evaluation to identify the root cause of your pain. This may involve a review of your medical history, a physical examination, and, if necessary, diagnostic imaging such as X-rays. Based on the findings, the chiropractor will develop a personalized treatment plan that may include spinal adjustments, joint mobilization, and low-level laser therapy. The chiropractor will explain each step of the treatment process, ensuring you are comfortable and informed. The goal is to provide relief while addressing the underlying cause of your shoulder pain for long-term improvement.
