What Causes Shoulder Pain?

Seek treatment promptly for mild or severe shoulder pain to prevent symptoms and conditions from worsening. Common causes of shoulder pain include the following injuries.

Chiropractic Care for Shoulder Pain

When you visit our facility, our Dr. Moran will do a physical exam to determine the cause of your pain. Depending on you condition, we may use one or more of the following methods to alleviate your shoulder pain.

  • Massage therapy: Through massage therapy, the blood flow to your shoulder will improve and promote healing.
  • Spinal adjustments: Spinal adjustments mean realigning the vertebrae of the spine. This improves the shoulder’s range of motion and decreases pressure on the joints.
  • Corrective exercises: With stretching and strengthening exercises, you can improve your shoulder’s range of motion and alleviate pain. These exercises can also help you avoid future injuries.
