Understanding the Shoulder Joint
Your shoulder is a highly mobile, ball-and-socket joint that allows for a wide range of motion. It’s built from three main bones—the humerus (upper arm), clavicle (collarbone), and scapula (shoulder blade)—as well as muscles, tendons, and ligaments that keep everything stable and functioning.
Because of its complexity and frequent use, the shoulder is especially prone to strain and injury.
What’s Causing Your Shoulder Pain?
Many factors can contribute to shoulder discomfort. Common causes include:
-
Rotator cuff injuries
-
Tendonitis or bursitis
-
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
-
Dislocations or joint instability
-
Arthritis or bone spurs
-
Muscle strains or ligament sprains
-
Posture-related issues from desk work or poor sleeping positions
Even everyday habits, like carrying a heavy bag, typing at a computer for hours, or lifting weights incorrectly, can place excessive stress on the shoulder joint and surrounding tissues.
For young athletes and active children, shoulder pain is especially common in sports like baseball, football, cheer, or gymnastics. Repetitive throwing, tackling, or falling can create misalignments and microtrauma that, left untreated, may affect long-term joint development.
Chiropractic Care for Shoulder Pain Relief
Dr. Wilkerson takes a whole-body approach to evaluating and treating shoulder pain. Your first visit includes a detailed exam of not just the shoulder, but also the spine, neck, elbows, wrists, and posture, as these areas often contribute to shoulder dysfunction.
Once we identify the root cause, we create a customized treatment plan that may include:
-
Gentle spinal and shoulder adjustments to restore alignment
-
Therapeutic exercises and mobility work to rebuild strength
-
Hot/cold therapy and muscle stimulation to reduce inflammation
-
Ergonomic and posture coaching, including sleeping position tips
-
Sports chiropractic for youth athletes, addressing growth, injury prevention, and performance
