Common shoulder and upper arm problems we help with
We commonly evaluate and treat:
-
rotator cuff–related shoulder pain

work-related and overuse shoulder injuries
-

Why shoulder and upper arm pain often develops
Shoulder and upper arm pain is usually influenced by a combination of:
-
limited shoulder or upper-back joint motion
-
altered shoulder blade and arm movement patterns
-
reduced strength or endurance
-
soft-tissue stiffness
-
sensitivity to repeated or heavy use
Our job is to determine which of these factors matter most for you.
Our approach to shoulder and upper arm care
We provide rehabilitation-focused chiropractic care to help you move more comfortably and tolerate daily and work activities.

-

What makes our shoulder care different

Our chiropractic-led rehabilitation approach focuses on:
-
detailed movement assessment

progressive strengthening and activity exposure

targeted hands-on treatment

clear, functional goals
The objective is to help your shoulder tolerate:
lifting, reaching, overhead work, and daily activity — more reliably and with fewer flare-ups.

Your initial visit focuses on:

how and when your shoulder or arm pain started

which movements and activities make symptoms better or worse

shoulder, upper-back, and neck movement assessment

strength, mobility, and movement control testing
If appropriate, you will receive clear findings and a recommended care plan focused on restoring function.
