Understanding Shoulder Pain: More Than Just a Local Issue
When any part of this system isn’t working properly, it can lead to pain and restricted movement. Your rotator cuff, a group of four muscles that stabilise your shoulder, plays a crucial role in this orchestration. These muscles must work in perfect harmony to keep your shoulder moving smoothly and painlessly. Common causes of shoulder pain include:
- Spinal Misalignments: When vertebrae in your neck are out of position, they can irritate nerves controlling your shoulder function.
- Neck and Upper Back Tension: Tight muscles in your neck and upper back can restrict shoulder movement and cause referred pain.
- Poor Posture: Forward head posture and rounded shoulders can create muscle imbalances and strain on the shoulder joint.
- Sports Injuries: Repetitive movements or sudden trauma can damage the rotator cuff and surrounding tissues.
- Work-Related Strain: Extended computer use and repetitive tasks can lead to shoulder dysfunction.
- Bursitis: The fluid-filled sacs that cushion your shoulder joint can become inflamed, causing pain with movement and pressure.
- Frozen Shoulder: A condition where the shoulder capsule becomes tight and restricts movement.
- Arthritis:Natural wear and tear can cause joint inflammation and restricted motion.
Professional Assessment and Diagnosis
We’ll develop a personalised treatment plan with specific spinal adjustments to improve nerve function and shoulder joint adjustments as needed. You may also benefit from:
