Shoulder pain isn’t just uncomfortable—it can affect every part of your daily life. Whether you’re lifting groceries, reaching for a seatbelt, or trying to sleep through the night, shoulder discomfort has a way of making simple tasks feel impossible. At Helios Physiotherapy and Rehab, we understand how frustrating it can be to live with ongoing shoulder pain. The good news? You don’t have to.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can stem from a variety of issues, including:
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Tendonitis or bursitis
- Shoulder impingement
- Postural strain or muscle imbalance
- Arthritis or degenerative joint changes
- Trauma or overuse injuries
Sometimes the pain is localized to the shoulder joint itself; other times, it may radiate down the arm or into the upper back and neck. This is where an expert assessment becomes essential.
How Physiotherapy Can Help
Physiotherapy focuses on restoring mobility, reducing inflammation, and building strength in the shoulder joint and surrounding muscles. At Helios, our physiotherapists begin with a thorough evaluation to identify the root cause of your pain. Once we identify the root cause of pain through evaluation we develop a treatment plan.
Treatment plans may include:
- Manual therapy to reduce stiffness and improve joint mobility
- Modalities like Shock wave Therapy, Acupuncture, Laser Therapy, ultrasound or Muscle Stimulator for pain relief
- Targeted Home exercises to improve range of motion and strengthen the rotator cuff
- Postural training and ergonomic advice to prevent future strain
Our approach is personalized. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or managing a chronic issue, we tailor your care to meet your goals and pace of healing.
The Role of Chiropractic Care in Shoulder Pain
Chiropractic adjustments aren’t just for the spine—they can be incredibly effective for shoulder pain, especially when the discomfort is related to misalignment, nerve impingement, or tension in the upper back and neck.
Our chiropractors focus on:
- Adjusting the thoracic spine and cervical spine to improve nerve flow and posture
- Addressing biomechanical imbalances that may contribute to shoulder dysfunction
- Soft tissue therapy and mobilization for tight or inflamed muscles
- Collaborating with our physiotherapy team to ensure comprehensive care
Many patients find that the combination of physiotherapy and chiropractic care leads to faster recovery and long-lasting relief.
