Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
The shoulder is a joint with many functioning parts. When one or more of these parts become aggravated or inhibited, it leads to pain in the entire shoulder area. Common causes we see are:
- Rotator cuff injury: Injury to the muscles and tendons in your shoulder often present as a dull ache in the shoulder that is aggravated by applying additional pressure to the area. Repeated overhead motion makes people more prone to this injury.
- Shoulder Bursae: Bursae are small sacs of fluid that are present in various joints in the body in order to reduce friction. The shoulder is one of the areas where bursae are found, and bursitis is brought on by inflammation of these areas.
- Neck-referred pain: Cervical issues can sometimes send shooting pain from the neck into the shoulder; leading people to misidentify structural issues as a shoulder injury.
- Poor posture: Rounded shoulders and a consistent forward lean of the head places the rotator cuff under constant strain, which leads to a gradual wear and tear without an acute injury incident.
The nature of shoulder injuries is a wide spectrum. We would love to meet you and get to the source of your pain.
"Amazing experience with Wilson Family Chiropractic. I visited them with a frozen shoulder, and they were kind enough to accommodate me and gave immediate relief to my shoulder pain. Dr. Jake and Heysha are wonderful; they took care of everything.
Subsequent visits made my shoulder 99% functional in very short time. Thank you, Wilson Family Chiropractic, very much for your service."

"My shoulder was frozen and hand was numb. They adjusted me, did shock and lazer treatment and now I have full movement, no numbness and pain free."
