Shoulder Pain Treatment in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area
Shoulder pain is a very common condition that can limit your range of motion and make everyday activities like reaching, lifting, and sleeping difficult. At I Heart Chiro, we provide drug-free chiropractic care for shoulder pain at your home, office, or gym anywhere in Dallas-Fort Worth to reduce pain and restore healthy movement.
Why the Shoulder Is Prone to Pain
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body. That wide range of motion comes at the cost of stability, which makes the shoulder vulnerable to strain, irritation, and injury. Shoulder problems can lead to pain, limited range of motion, difficulty with activities of daily living, and in severe cases, lasting disability.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
- Rotator cuff strain or tendonitis
- Shoulder impingement from repetitive overhead activity
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Poor posture and rounded shoulders from desk work
- Sports injuries and auto injuries
- Referred pain from the neck, such as a pinched nerve
How Chiropractic Care Helps
Your chiropractor will assess your shoulder, shoulder blade, upper back, and neck to find what is driving your pain. Care may include gentle extremity and spinal adjustments, muscle therapy such as IASTM, cupping, and Kinesio taping, and corrective exercises to strengthen the rotator cuff and stabilizing muscles. Shoulder pain often accompanies neck pain and tension headaches, so we treat the whole region together.
