What is causing my shoulder pain?

When it comes to shoulder issues, there are four major issues to consider:

It’s much less common for an infection, nerve problems or a tumor to cause shoulder pain.

How will a chiropractor treat my shoulder pain?

There are some lifestyle changes that we may recommend you adopt to reduce your pain including ergonomic changes to your workplace, special exercises you can perform to strengthen the shoulder, taking time to rest the shoulder, etc. As a chiropractor, we can also provide manual adjustments, in which we shift the joints back into their proper alignment to improve mobility and reduce symptoms.
