What Causes Shoulder Pain?

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body — which also makes it one of the most unstable.

Many people are told they have:

  • “Just inflammation”

  • “Tendonitis”

  • “Aging”

  • “You just need to rest”

But shoulder pain often comes from:

  • Poor scapular mechanics

  • Rotator cuff dysfunction

  • Labral irritation

  • Neck-to-shoulder nerve referral

  • Postural stress (hello, laptop + nursing moms)

  • Old sports injuries that never fully healed

We focus on correcting joint motion, muscle imbalance, and nervous system dysfunction so your body can truly recover.

Shoulder Conditions We Treat

At Momentum Chiropractic, we treat a wide range of shoulder conditions, including:

Rotator Cuff Injuries

Strains, partial tears, impingement, and chronic irritation.

Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Pain when lifting your arm overhead or reaching behind you.

Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)

Progressive stiffness and loss of range of motion.

Shoulder Bursitis

Inflammation causing pain with movement and pressure.

Labral Irritation or Instability

Clicking, catching, or deep joint pain.

AC Joint Dysfunction

Pain at the top of the shoulder, especially after lifting or falls.

Sports-Related Shoulder Injuries

Common in CrossFit, tennis, swimmers, runners, and weightlifters.

Pregnancy & Postpartum Shoulder Pain

From nursing posture, baby carrying, and upper back tension.

Why Shoulder Pain Doesn’t Always Show Up on Imaging

Many patients come in after normal X-rays or MRIs — but still have pain.

That’s because:

  • Joint restrictions don’t show on imaging.

  • Muscle inhibition doesn’t show on imaging.

  • Biomechanical dysfunction doesn’t show on imaging.

We assess:

  • Scapular movement

  • Glenohumeral joint motion

  • Cervical spine involvement

  • Rib mechanics

  • Functional strength patterns

Because your shoulder doesn’t work alone — it’s part of a system.

Our Approach to Shoulder Pain Treatment

We don’t believe in cookie-cutter care.

Your care plan may include:

Specific Shoulder & Extremity Adjustments

Restoring proper joint mechanics to reduce pain and improve motion.

Cervical & Thoracic Spine Correction

Because neck and upper back dysfunction often drives shoulder pain.

Shockwave Therapy

For chronic tendon irritation and stubborn soft tissue injuries.

Corrective Exercises

To retrain stability, strength, and functional movement.

Functional Medicine Support (When Needed)

If inflammation, hormones, or nutrient deficiencies are contributing to slow healing.

Our goal?
Not just temporary relief — but long-term resilience.

Signs You Should See a Chiropractor for Shoulder Pain

  • Pain lifting your arm overhead

  • Pain sleeping on your side

  • Weakness or instability

  • Clicking or catching in the joint

  • Pain that hasn’t improved with rest

  • Recurring sports injuries

  • Pain traveling from neck into shoulder

If it’s affecting workouts, sleep, or daily life — it’s time to address it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shoulder Pain

Can chiropractic help rotator cuff injuries?

Yes. Many rotator cuff injuries respond extremely well to restoring proper joint mechanics and reducing compensatory movement patterns. Rotator cuff injuries respond well to shockwave therapy as well. 

Is shoulder adjustment safe?

When performed by a trained extremity specialist, shoulder adjustments are safe, specific, and gentle. Prior to adjusting, a full evaluation is done to insure safety and stability of the joint. 

How long does it take to heal shoulder pain?

Acute cases may improve within a few visits. Chronic cases can take several weeks depending on severity and consistency. Each person's case is different.
