Shoulder pain can be frustrating, limiting, and sometimes downright exhausting — especially when it starts affecting your sleep, work, or daily activities. But here’s the good news: many of the most common shoulder problems we treat in our clinic are manageable and often respond well to chiropractic care.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the issues we see most often — and how we help patients find relief and restore movement.

🔹 1.Referred Pain from the Neck or Upper Back
Many people we see have tried physio led exercises for a long time and not got anywhere, but here’s something many people don’t realise: shoulder pain isn’t always coming from the shoulder itself. In many cases, tension, misalignment, or nerve irritation in the neck or upper spine can cause pain to travel into the shoulder.

That’s why a full postural and spinal assessment is often the key to uncovering the real source of discomfort.

🔹 2. Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
This condition develops slowly and can be quite limiting, but it’s not permanent — and it’s more common than people think.

Symptoms: Stiffness, pain, and reduced range of motion that worsens over time.

🔹 3. Shoulder Impingement
Often caused by repeated overhead movement or poor posture, impingement happens when the tendons of the rotator cuff get pinched during shoulder motion.

Symptoms: Sharp pain when lifting your arm, weakness, or a “catching” sensation in the joint.

🔹 4. Rotator Cuff Strain or Tendonitis
Whether you’re an athlete, a desk worker, or somewhere in between, rotator cuff issues are incredibly common. Overuse, poor posture, or minor injuries can lead to inflammation and pain in the tendons that support your shoulder.

Symptoms: Aching in the upper arm, difficulty lifting overhead, or pain when lying on your side.

 

✅ The Bottom Line
You don’t have to live with shoulder pain — and you don’t have to jump straight to painkillers, injections, or worst-case-scenario thinking either. In many cases, the root cause is something we can address naturally and effectively through chiropractic care, movement correction, and postural support.
