Shoulder Pain Treatment The Gap
Shoulder pain can affect people of all ages and activity levels. Whether it’s a dull ache, sharp discomfort when moving the arm, or restricted mobility, shoulder pain can interfere with work, sleep, and daily life. For tradespeople and those who perform repetitive tasks or heavy lifting, shoulder pain can be especially frustrating and limiting.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can stem from a variety of issues, including:
Muscle strain or overuse injuries
Rotator cuff injuries or tendinopathy
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
Shoulder impingement or bursitis
Poor posture and altered shoulder mechanics
Referred pain from the neck or upper back
For many individuals, shoulder pain develops gradually over time due to repetitive stress or postural habits. In other cases, pain may arise suddenly following an injury or strain.
How Chiropractic May Help Your Shoulder Pain
At Spine Studios, we begin with a detailed history and physical examination to understand the root cause of your shoulder pain. In some cases, the issue may originate from the shoulder joint itself, while in others it may relate to the neck, upper back, or even the nervous system.
Chiropractic care may assist by:
Improving joint mobility and alignment
Reducing muscular tension
Enhancing shoulder stability and movement
Supporting posture and biomechanics
Guiding you with tailored rehab exercises
Your care plan is always personalised, and we may also co-manage with other healthcare providers or refer for imaging if needed.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
When you come in for your first visit to Spine Studios, we’ll take the time to thoroughly assess your shoulder pain. Your appointment will begin with a detailed discussion about your medical history, lifestyle, and symptoms. You may be asked about the onset of your pain, daily activities, and any previous injuries.
Following your consultation, we will perform a physical examination to identify any areas of dysfunction or misalignment. If needed, we may refer you for imaging or diagnostic tests such as X-rays to ensure we have a clear understanding of your condition.
Once we’ve gathered all the necessary information, we will discuss your diagnosis and explain the best approach for your treatment plan. This may include chiropractic adjustments, muscle therapy, and stretches to improve mobility and function. We’ll also provide advice on posture and movement to help prevent further issues.
