Why Does Shoulder Pain Happen?

There are several reasons why you might experience shoulder pain, including:

  • Rotator cuff injuries involve tears, strains, or inflammation in the muscles and tendons that help keep the shoulder stable.
  • Shoulder impingement happens when the rotator tendons and bursa get compressed between the shoulder bones.
  • Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, occurs when the shoulder capsule thickens and scar tissue forms.
  • Bursitis and tendonitis are conditions where the bursa or tendons become inflamed, often causing sharp pain, especially during movement.
  • Joint dysfunction and arthritis involve misalignment or wear in the shoulder joint, which can cause ongoing discomfort.
  • Repetitive stress from overuse or repeated motions, often seen in sports or some jobs, can irritate the shoulder.
  • Postural imbalances, such as poor posture, can change how the shoulder moves and may lead to stress, strain, and pain.
  • Referred pain means discomfort that starts in another area, like the neck or upper back, but is felt in the shoulder.

Chiropractic care and supportive therapies can help with these conditions by improving mobility, easing tension, and correcting movement imbalances.

Shoulder Pain FAQs

Q: Does chiropractic help rotator cuff pain?

Yes. Adjustments, soft tissue therapy, dry needling, and movement rehabilitation can help improve mobility and reduce pain from rotator cuff problems.

Q: When should I see a chiropractor for shoulder pain?

If your pain does not improve with rest, changing activities, or self-care after a few weeks, or if it limits your movement, seeing a chiropractor can help.

Q: Can shoulder pain be related to neck issues?

Yes. The shoulder, neck, and upper back are connected, so problems in one area can lead to symptoms in the others.
