Shoulder Pain Treatment in St. Thomas
Non-Surgical Relief for Shoulder Injuries and Pain
Shoulder pain can make everyday movements like lifting your arm, reaching overhead, or sleeping comfortably difficult. Because the shoulder joint has one of the largest ranges of motion in the body, it is also one of the most vulnerable to strain, inflammation, and injury.
At Tradewinds Chiropractic, we focus on identifying the underlying cause of shoulder pain and providing non-surgical, drug-free treatments designed to reduce inflammation, restore mobility, and support healing.
What Causes Shoulder Pain?
Shoulder pain can develop from injury, repetitive movement, or gradual wear and tear over time.
Common causes include:
• Rotator cuff injuries or inflammation
• Shoulder impingement syndrome
• Muscle strain or ligament injury
• Tendinitis or bursitis
• Joint dysfunction in the shoulder or upper spine
• Repetitive overhead activities or sports
Because the shoulder is closely connected to the neck, upper back, and surrounding muscles, problems in these areas can also contribute to shoulder pain.
Common Symptoms of Shoulder Pain
Symptoms can vary depending on the specific structures involved, but many patients experience:
• Pain when lifting or reaching overhead
• Difficulty raising the arm
• Pain when sleeping on the affected shoulder
• Weakness in the shoulder or arm
• Stiffness or limited range of motion
• Clicking or catching sensations in the joint
If left untreated, shoulder problems can progressively limit movement and interfere with daily activities.
How Our Office Helps Shoulder Pain Patients
At Tradewinds Chiropractic, treatment focuses on improving joint function, reducing inflammation, and restoring proper movement in the shoulder and surrounding areas.
Your treatment plan may include:
Chiropractic Adjustments
Adjustments to the shoulder joint, neck, and upper spine help restore normal joint movement and reduce mechanical stress on the shoulder.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy may help stimulate healing, improve circulation, and reduce chronic inflammation in injured shoulder tissues.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Targeted muscle therapy helps release tight muscles and improve mobility in the shoulder and upper back.
Corrective Exercises
Customized exercises strengthen the muscles that stabilize the shoulder and help prevent recurring injuries.
Conditions That Often Cause Shoulder Pain
Many shoulder pain cases are related to underlying conditions such as:
• Rotator cuff tendinitis or tears
• Shoulder impingement
• Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
• Bursitis
• Muscle strain or overuse injuries
• Shoulder joint dysfunction
A proper evaluation helps determine which structures are contributing to your pain so treatment can be more targeted and effective.
