Do you have:
• Sharp pain upon lifting your arm overhead?
• Constant dull and achy pain in your shoulder and mid-back?
• Decreased strength and endurance in your shoulder?
There are a number of possible causes for these symptoms including:
• Overuse of your muscles.
• Imprope• Muscle imbalances via: tight anterior muscles (pecs & subscapularis) and fatigued/weakened posterior muscles (rhomboids & traps)
• Decreased oxygen, blood and nutrients to the injured joints and tissues
How can we fix shoulder pain?
We conduct a thorough physical exam to evaluate your joints and muscles. We are looking for improper joint bio-mechanics that are causing wear and tear on your muscles in your shoulders. Once we have identified the cause for your shoulder pain, we adjust the joints that are stuck and use Active Release Technique to break down any scar tissue or adhesion's in your muscles. Once we have done this we give you detailed stretching and strengthening exercises to do to make sure that the problem does not come back.
