Shoulder Pain Treatment at Eggleston Chiropractic & Rehab
Whether you’re suffering from a frozen shoulder or a sports injury, shoulder pain can be debilitating, disrupting the quality of your daily life and making it challenging to perform even simple tasks. Some symptoms include a dull ache, tingling sensation, or sharp pain radiating down your arm.
What Are Some Common Causes?
Poor Posture
Incorrect posture, whether during daily activities or extended periods of sitting, can lead to shoulder pain.
Muscle Strain
Overuse or sudden exertion can strain the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint.
Joint Dysfunction
Misalignments in the shoulder joint can cause pain and restricted movement.
Nerve Compression
Pinched nerves in the neck or upper back may radiate pain to the shoulders.

- Chiropractic Adjustments – Precise adjustments to the spine and shoulder joints are fundamental in chiropractic care. These adjustments restore proper alignment, alleviate tension, and enhance joint function.
- Soft Tissue Therapy – Dr. Eggleston often incorporates gentle tissue techniques like massage and myofascial release to address muscle tension and promote healing in the affected area.
- Therapeutic Exercises – Tailored exercises are prescribed to strengthen and stabilize the shoulder muscles. This not only aids in pain relief but also helps prevent future injuries.
- Posture Correction – Dr. Eggleston can help improve posture by providing education and exercises to support healthier alignment and reduce the risk of recurring shoulder pain.
