Why Shoulders
Start to Hurt
The shoulder moves more than any other joint in the body, which also makes it easy to strain.
A shallow, mobile joint
The shoulder trades stability for range. The muscles and tendons of the rotator cuff hold it in place, and they take the strain.
Overuse and posture
Overhead work, lifting, sports and a forward-rounded posture can irritate the tendons over time.
Pain from the neck
Some shoulder pain starts in the neck, where a pinched nerve sends pain toward the shoulder and arm.
How We Treat
Shoulder Pain
Most plans combine hands-on care with rehab, set after your exam.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle adjustments to the neck, upper back and shoulder that restore motion.
Dry Needling
Fine needles that release tight knots in the shoulder and upper back.
Shockwave Therapy
Acoustic sound waves applied over sore tendons. Research has looked at shockwave for shoulder tendon problems.

Exercises that rebuild strength and range in the rotator cuff.
