What causes shoulder pain?
The shoulder is a highly mobile joint that relies on a complex interaction of muscles, tendons, and the surrounding spinal structures to function well. Shoulder pain can arise from several sources, which is why a thorough assessment is important before any care plan is developed.
Common contributing factors include rotator cuff strain or overuse, reduced mobility in the shoulder joint itself, referred pain or restricted joints in the cervical or thoracic spine, postural strain from sustained desk work or overhead activity, and injury sustained during sport. In many cases, the neck and upper back are involved even when the primary complaint is in the shoulder.

Patients presenting with shoulder pain at Family Chiropractic Chatswood commonly describe one or more of the following:
Pain in the shoulder, upper arm, or the side of the arm

Aching across the upper trapezius and into the neck

How chiropractic care may help with shoulder pain in Chatswood
Chiropractic assessment of shoulder pain at Family Chiropractic Chatswood includes examination of the shoulder joint itself as well as the cervical and thoracic spine, which can refer symptoms into the shoulder and arm. Dr Brett identifies areas of restriction or altered mechanics that may be contributing to your symptoms and develops a care plan accordingly.
Many patients report improvement in shoulder mobility and reduced discomfort through chiropractic care. Individual results vary.
