Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can be due to poor posture and movement of the shoulder complex. This can involve the lower part of your neck, your upper back, scapular (shoulder blade), clavicular (collar bone) and the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint.

Causes include fractures, osteoarthritis, flexed stiff thoracic spines, stiff cervical spines, impingements, rotator cuff problems and capsulitis (frozen shoulders).

Treatment will address any stiffness in the shoulder complex, soft tissue release, strengthening of the rotator cuff and scapular muscles and acupuncture.
