OVERVIEW

Chiropractic Care for Shoulder Pain

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body — and that mobility comes with vulnerability. Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints we see, ranging from a dull ache after repetitive activity to sharp, debilitating pain that limits your ability to dress, sleep, or work.

At Midtown Chiropractic Clinic in Raleigh, we take a comprehensive approach to shoulder pain, assessing not only the shoulder joint itself but also the cervical and thoracic spine, which often contribute to shoulder symptoms through nerve referral and postural dysfunction.

TREATMENT

Our Approach to Shoulder Pain

Shoulder & Thoracic Spine Adjustments — We perform gentle mobilization and manipulation of the glenohumeral joint, acromioclavicular joint, and thoracic spine to restore proper mechanics and reduce impingement.

Cervical Spine Care — Many patients with shoulder pain have a cervical component — pinched nerves in the neck that refer pain and weakness into the shoulder and arm. We address both regions for comprehensive relief.

Rotator Cuff Rehabilitation — We prescribe specific strengthening and mobility exercises targeting the rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers to restore shoulder function and prevent recurrence.

Laser & Soft Tissue Therapy — Our laser therapy and myofascial release techniques reduce inflammation, break down adhesions, and restore healthy muscle and tendon function around the shoulder complex.
