Shoulder pain often results from a combination of factors, including poor posture, muscle imbalances, joint restrictions, impingement, or overuse from repetitive movements at work or during sports. Because the shoulder is closely connected to the neck and upper back, problems in those areas can also contribute to shoulder pain and stiffness.
Dr. Verg evaluates the shoulder joint along with the cervical and thoracic spine to identify restrictions that may be limiting your range of motion. Treatment often includes extremity adjusting to improve joint mechanics in the shoulder, soft-tissue therapy to release tight rotator cuff and upper back muscles, and a rehabilitation program focused on restoring strength, flexibility, and proper movement patterns.
