Do You Need Help with Shoulder Pain?

At Byron St Chiropractic, we understand how debilitating shoulder pain can be. That’s why we’re dedicated to helping you recover naturally and regain your mobility.

Are You Experiencing Any of the Following?

• Shoulder pain lasting more than a few days

• Difficulty carrying objects with the affected arm

• Swelling or bruising in the shoulder area

• Pain that worsens at night

• Limited or painful shoulder movement

• Trouble sleeping on your side

• Challenges exercising or performing daily tasks

Shoulder pain can significantly impact your daily life, making routine activities—such as lifting, reaching, or exercising—challenging and uncomfortable.

What Causes Shoulder Pain?

Shoulder pain can arise from various conditions or events, including:

• Rotator cuff tears or strains

• Frozen shoulder

• Bursitis

• General wear and tear due to ageing

• Bruising or physical trauma

Common Contributing Factors

• Poor posture (e.g., rounded shoulders)

• Prolonged sitting or inactivity

• Incorrect ergonomic setups

• Repetitive overhead movements

• Sporting injuries or accidents

• Overuse or repetitive strain injuries

• Poor sleeping positions

Given the range of possible causes, an accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment.

Treating Shoulder Pain

At Byron St Chiropractic, we take a holistic approach to managing shoulder pain. We focus on the entire neuromusculoskeletal system, not just the injury site. This includes:

• The spine as a whole

• Shoulder and extremity joints (e.g., elbows, wrists)

• Muscles, ligaments, and tendons

• The nervous system

Accurate Diagnosis

The first step to managing and preventing shoulder pain is obtaining a precise diagnosis. This process includes:

• A detailed clinical history

• A thorough physical examination, including neurological, orthopaedic, and musculoskeletal assessments

• Diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays, if necessary

Once we’ve gathered all the relevant information, we’ll explain your condition in clear and simple terms. From there, we’ll develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Prevention and Education

Our goal is to help you not only recover but also prevent future injuries. To support your long-term health, we provide:

• Strategies to reduce the risk of reinjury

• Practical ergonomic advice for your daily activities

If we determine that additional care is needed, we’ll ensure you’re referred to the most appropriate healthcare providers.
