Shoulder Pain Treatment
The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body, but with that mobility comes complexity. It’s made up of bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments that work together to provide a wide range of motion. When one or more of these structures becomes injured, irritated, or overused, pain and dysfunction can follow.
Shoulder pain can come on suddenly from a traumatic injury or develop over time due to repetitive strain, poor posture, or underlying conditions like arthritis. Some people experience a dull ache, while others may struggle with sharp pain, stiffness, or weakness when lifting or rotating the arm.
Types of Shoulder Pain We Treat
- Rotator Cuff Injuries: Strains, tears, or inflammation in the group of muscles and tendons stabilizing your shoulder.
- Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): A painful condition marked by stiffness and reduced range of motion.
- Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: When soft tissues become compressed during movement, causing pain or weakness.
- Tendinitis & Bursitis: Inflammation of the tendons or bursa around the shoulder joint.
- Postural Dysfunction: Poor posture that contributes to shoulder or upper back pain.
- Sports or Work-Related Injuries: From overhead sports to physical labour, we treat repetitive stress and acute injuries alike.
Shoulder Pain Treatment Options
At Dynamic, we take an integrated approach to shoulder pain treatment, drawing on multiple disciplines to deliver results that last. Your care plan may include:
Physiotherapy
We use targeted exercises to improve mobility, reduce pain, and strengthen the muscles supporting your shoulder. Treatment may also include joint mobilizations and manual therapy techniques.
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractors use gentle adjustments and soft tissue therapy to help restore joint function, improve posture, and support natural healing.
Shockwave Therapy
This non-invasive treatment stimulates blood flow and accelerates the healing process in conditions such as calcific tendinitis and chronic shoulder injuries.
Acupuncture and Dry Needling
We use needling techniques to target trigger points, relieve muscle tension, and reduce inflammation and pain.
Custom Rehab Programs
No two shoulders are the same. Our team builds a program around your lifestyle, goals, and diagnosis, helping you recover safely and efficiently.
