Shoulder pain is a common condition we treat at Salt Chiropractic. Whether caused by injury, overuse, or poor posture, shoulder pain can significantly impact your ability to perform daily activities and enjoy an active lifestyle.

Common Causes of Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can result from a variety of factors, including:

• Poor posture or rounded shoulders

• Repetitive strain or overuse injuries

• Trauma, such as falls or sports injuries

• Rotator cuff injuries or impingement

• Shoulder joint arthritis or degeneration

• Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)

• Referred pain from the neck or upper back

Treating Shoulder Pain at Salt Chiropractic

At Salt Chiropractic, we take a holistic approach to treating shoulder pain, focusing on the entire neuromusculoskeletal system rather than just the painful area. This includes the shoulder joint, surrounding muscles, ligaments, and the interconnected spine and nervous system.

Our process begins with a comprehensive assessment, including a detailed clinical history and physical examination. We use orthopaedic, neurological, and musculoskeletal tests to pinpoint the cause of your shoulder pain. If required, we may recommend further diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays.

Once we have an accurate diagnosis, we will clearly explain our findings to you. From there, we will create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and shoulder stability.

If we determine that additional care is necessary, we will refer you to the appropriate healthcare professionals to ensure the best outcomes.

Prevention and Education

To help you maintain long-term results, we provide guidance on improving posture, optimising movement patterns, and incorporating targeted stretches and strengthening exercises into your routine. By addressing the root causes of shoulder pain, we aim to help you stay active and pain-free.
