Injuries We Treat Most: Shoulder Pain
Whether you're an athlete or just trying to stay active, we treat a variety of shoulder injuries and overuse conditions every week.
Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy or Tear
Overuse or trauma can irritate or tear the rotator cuff muscles/tendons, causing pain with lifting, reaching, or sleeping on the affected side.
Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
Occurs when the rotator cuff or bursa is compressed between bones during overhead motion, often leading to inflammation, weakness, and pain.
Labral Tear (SLAP Tear)
A tear in the cartilage ring of the shoulder joint (labrum), often seen in throwing athletes or weightlifters. It can cause clicking, instability, or deep joint pain.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
A painful condition marked by stiffness and a gradual loss of motion, often without a clear injury. It can severely limit overhead function.
AC Joint Sprain or Osteoarthritis
Pain at the top of the shoulder, especially with bench press or cross-body motions, caused by joint inflammation, trauma, or wear-and-tear.
Shoulder Instability or Dislocation
A partial or full dislocation of the shoulder joint that can cause chronic instability or fear of movement.
Biceps Tendinopathy
Irritation of the long head of the biceps tendon, which can lead to pain in the front of the shoulder, especially during curls or overhead lifting.
Postural Dysfunction
Poor alignment or shoulder blade mechanics often contributes to muscle imbalance and shoulder impingement, especially in people who sit often.
Symptoms We Commonly See:
- Pain with reaching, lifting, or pushing/pulling
- Difficulty sleeping on the affected shoulder
- Clicking, popping, or grinding in the joint
- Weakness or loss of overhead strength
- Pain during workouts, especially pressing or pulling movements
- Stiffness or reduced range of motion
- Radiating pain into the upper arm or neck
- Instability or fear the shoulder might “give out”
Our team is trained in manual therapy, dry needling, and advanced movement assessment to pinpoint the exact cause of your pain and create a plan that gets you back to doing what you love—without pain.
