What Is Shoulder Pain?
Shoulder pain refers to discomfort located in any portion of the shoulder joint. Shoulder pain can occur due to injury, overuse, instability, or inflammation, with side effects and symptoms that range from moderate to severe. Although shoulder pain doesn’t always require invasive medical procedures, identifying and treating the root cause is essential to reclaiming your comfort.
Shoulder Pain Causes
Shoulder pain causes vary. Shoulder pain can be triggered by even simple movements, such as twisting your shoulder at an unusual angle, sparking a relentless dull ache. Shoulder pain can also be due to bone-on-bone friction caused by arthritis. It can also be acquired as a result of impact injuries from car accidents or contact sports.
Types of Shoulder Pain
Just as there are many causes of shoulder pain, there are also various types. At Charles Street Family Chiropractic, we are equipped to deal with a range of shoulder pain issues, including:
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Frozen shoulder
- Shoulder impingement

Symptoms of Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can manifest in many ways depending on the nature of the injury or condition. Common symptoms of shoulder pain include:
- Dull ache or sharp, pulsating pain in the shoulder joint
- Frozen shoulder, decrease or loss of shoulder motion
- Inability or pain when carrying or lifting objects
- Weakness or stiffness
- Visible swelling or tenderness
Addressing Shoulder Pain
Treatment should begin the moment you notice your shoulder pain. Before resorting to chiropractic care or medical intervention, rest, ice, compression, and elevation are vital. However, if at-home remedies, anti-inflammatory medication, and traditional medicine fall short, it may be time to seek alternative treatment. That’s where Charles Street Family Chiropractic comes in.
