Shoulder pain can affect your ability to perform everyday tasks, from reaching overhead to lifting. Whether caused by muscle strain, poor posture, or previous injuries, The Mountains Chiropractic offers targeted treatments to relieve discomfort and improve shoulder function.

Are you experiencing the following:

• Stiffness or tension in the neck and shoulders?

• Limited range of motion?

• Pain with lifting or reaching?

• Aches in the shoulder joint or upper back?

The shoulder is required for many daily movements such as, carrying something, picking something up, reaching for an object or doing any upper body exercise, which is why the pain can be so debilitating.

Shoulder pain can be caused by several different events or conditions such as rotator cuff tears, strains, frozen shoulder, bursitis, general wear and tear due to ageing, bruising, and many more. This is why an accurate diagnosis is critical to successful treatment.

Most Common Causes of Shoulder Pain:

• Poor posture and in particular rounded shoulder

• Inactivity/sedentary lifestyle

• Incorrect ergonomic set up

• Poor sleeping positions

• Sporting injuries

• Repetitive movements

• Underlying disease or pathology (rare)
