You Don’t Have to Live With Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can make everyday tasks like reaching, lifting, sleeping, or even getting dressed frustrating and painful. Because the shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, many different structures can be the source. Our therapists find the true cause of your pain and build a treatment plan to relieve it, restore your range of motion, and help prevent it from coming back.
What's Causing Your Shoulder Pain?
We assess and treat a wide range of underlying causes, including:
Rotator cuff injuries
Strains, tears, and tendinitis affecting the muscles that stabilize the shoulder.
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
Progressive stiffness and pain that limits movement.
Shoulder impingement
Pinching of tendons during overhead movement.
Bursitis & tendinitis
Inflammation from overuse or repetitive strain.
Shoulder instability & dislocation
A joint that slips or has slipped out of place.
Arthritis
Joint wear that causes pain and stiffness.
Post-surgical recovery
Rehab after rotator cuff repair or shoulder surgery.
Accident & sports injuries
Trauma from a fall, collision, or motor vehicle accident.
Symptoms We Help Relieve
Book an assessment if you are experiencing any of the following:
- Aching, sharp, or throbbing shoulder pain
