SHOULDER & ARM PAIN
The shoulder is an incredibly mobile joint, able to move in many different directions. This amazing fact is also makes the shoulder very susceptible to injury. Shoulder injuries can significantly impact your daily activities.Proper spinal alignment and posture is critical for well functioning shoulders.
The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint is held together by numerous muscles, ligaments and tendons. Due to this there are many potential conditions that arise within the shoulder.
Conditions affecting the shoulder: bursitis, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), rotator cuff tears and strains, tendinopathies, A/C joint sprains and many more.
Commun Causes of Shoulder and Arm Problems:
-
Poor posture and poor spinal alignment (particularly rounded shoulders)
-
Prolonged sitting, static work environments, and inactivity
-
Repetitive physical movements (such as painting, sports, or daily overhead tasks)
-
Sporting injuries and acute physical trauma
-
Overuse and repetitive physical strain injuries
-
Poor sleeping positions that place pressure on the joint
What is the most common cause of Shoulder pain?
Once any rare underlying issues are ruled out, the most frequent causes of shoulder and arm discomfort are mechanical in nature.
In particular, poor posture and suboptimal spinal alignment are primary contributors. When the shoulder joints roll forward, it places significant stress and pressure on the surrounding joints, tendons, and muscles, causing widespread mechanical dysfunction. Furthermore, the functional alignment of the neck plays a major role in how the shoulder operates and often triggers referred arm discomfort.
How our chiropractic approach helps people with Shoulder and Arm discomfort:
At Chiropractic Centre Nicolas FREY DC, we take a comprehensive approach to shoulder discomfort, looking at your entire body rather than just focusing on where it hurts. Because many underlying factors can affect your shoulder function, a thorough evaluation is essential.
Our process begins with a complimentary initial consultation to determine if our musculoskeletal care is right for you; if not, we will guide you to the appropriate specialist. If we can help, we move forward with a detailed examination using orthopaedic, postural, and neurological tests to uncover the root cause of the restriction. If required, spinal or joint X-rays may be recommended to refine our understanding.
From there, we build a personalised care plan tailored to your body and lifestyle. Our safe, non-invasive approach combines precise spinal and joint adjustments, soft tissue work, and specific rehabilitation exercises designed to improve your posture and restore normal joint tracking. We also review the lifestyle factors that contributed to the strain, giving you practical tools to protect your shoulders in the future.
We treat shoulder and arm pain at both our clinics on the Costa Blanca South. Visit our Torrevieja clinic (Tuesday & Thursday) or our San Miguel de Salinas clinic (Monday, Wednesday & Friday morning).
