Shoulder pain is a common problem that affects many people from athletes to office workers to seniors.


It can be caused by a variety of factors, such as overuse, traumatic injury, poor posture, or degenerative conditions like arthritis.


Whatever the cause, shoulder pain can be debilitating and interfere with daily activities. Fortunately, chiropractic care can provide effective relief for many types of shoulder pain.


At One Spine Chiropractic Singapore, our experienced chiropractors in Singapore specialise in diagnosing and addressing musculoskeletal conditions, including shoulder pain.


We take a comprehensive approach to care for your shoulder health by addressing the underlying causes of your shoulder pain and creating a customised treatment plan to meet your unique needs.

Causes of Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can be caused by a variety of factors, such as:

Rotator cuff tendinitis:

A rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that connect the shoulder blade to the upper arm bone and shoulder socket.


Poor posture, Overuse, repetitive motions, or an acute injury can cause tears or inflammation in the rotator cuff muscles or tendons, leading to severe pain, weakness, and restricted range of motion.



Impingement syndrome: Impingement syndrome occurs when the rotator cuff tendons and bursae around the shoulder become pinched or compressed, leading to pain, inflammation, and reduced mobility.


This can be a severe injury and occur due to poor posture, poor ergonomics, as well as repetitive overhead activities.



Bursitis:

Bursitis occurs when the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs that cushion and lubricate the joints, become inflamed due to overuse or injury. This may occur due to poor posture and ergonomics creating increased pressure on the bursae or due to traumatic injury.

This can cause pain, swelling, and reduced mobility in the shoulder joint.


Bursitis can occur in various parts of the shoulder, including the sub-acromial bursa and the bicipital bursa.


Frozen shoulder joint:

Also known as adhesive capsulitis, a frozen shoulder is a condition where the shoulder joint capsule becomes stiff and painful, making it difficult to move.


It often develops gradually and for reasons that are unclear. However  poor posture and immobility of shoulder muscles  can predispose to this condition.


Arthritis:

Arthritis is a degenerative condition that can affect any joint in the body, including the shoulder. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis that affects the shoulder joint, osteoarthritis pain occurs due to the wear and tear of the joint over time and is often associated with rounded shoulders and slouched posture.


Rheumatoid arthritis can also affect the shoulder joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.


Posture problems:

Poor shoulder posture can contribute to shoulder pain by putting excessive strain on the muscles and joints of the shoulder and contributes to all of the above conditions.

Chiropractic Treatment for Shoulder Pain

Chiropractic care can provide effective relief for many types of shoulder pain by addressing the underlying causes of the pain and promoting healthy recovery.


Manipulative therapy, a technique commonly used in chiropractic care, has been shown to be beneficial for shoulder pain and disorders according to a systematic review.


Additionally, an epidemiologic survey conducted in Australia found that shoulder pain is a prevalent condition treated in chiropractic practice.

At One Spine Chiropractic, our chiropractors use a variety of evidence-based techniques to manage shoulder pain, including:

Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic adjustments: Chiropractic adjustments are targeted manipulations of the spine and joints that can help to restore proper alignment, relieve pressure on nerves, and improve range of motion. 


By adjusting the spine and surrounding joints, chiropractors can improve overall spinal function and reduce pain and inflammation in the shoulder.

Soft tissue therapy

Soft tissue therapy: Soft tissue therapy is another technique used by chiropractors to relief shoulder pain. This technique involves applying pressure to specific points on the soft tissues surrounding the shoulder joint.


The pressure applied can help relieve tension and improve blood flow, which can reduce pain and inflammation in the area. Soft tissue therapy can also help improve range of motion and flexibility in the shoulder.

Exercise and physical therapy

Exercise and physical therapy: Exercise therapy is another effective way to address shoulder pain. Chiropractors can design specific exercise programs tailored to the individual needs of each patient.


These exercises can help strengthen the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint, which can improve stability and reduce the risk of further injury. Exercise therapy can also help improve range of motion and flexibility in the shoulder, which can reduce pain and improve function.


Treatment may include changes to your daily activities, such as avoiding repetitive motions that can aggravate the shoulder, using proper posture while sitting and standing, and taking frequent breaks to stretch and move around.

Spinal decompression therapy

Spinal decompression therapy: Pinched nerves in the Cervical spine can cause referred pain to the shoulder. This treatment involves the use of a special table that gently stretches the spine, creating space between the vertebrae.


This can help reduce pressure on the nerves that run through the spine and into the shoulder, which can help alleviate pain and promote healing.

Ultrasound therapy

Ultrasound therapy: Ultrasound therapy involves the use of high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into the tissues surrounding the shoulder joint.


This can help reduce inflammation and promote healing in the affected area.

  3. Drug-free pain relief: Chiropractic care provides pain relief without the use of drugs, reducing the risk of side effects and dependency.

  5. Preventive care: Regular chiropractic care can help prevent future shoulder injuries and reduce the risk of chronic pain.
  6. Holistic approach: Chiropractors approach shoulder pain holistically, considering the patient's overall health and lifestyle factors that may contribute to their pain.

In conclusion, chiropractors can use a variety of evidence-based techniques for shoulder pain, depending on the underlying cause of the pain and the individual needs of each patient.


By combining manual adjustments, soft tissue therapy, exercise therapy, lifestyle modifications, spinal decompression therapy, and ultrasound therapy, chiropractors can help patients manage their shoulder pain, provide pain relief and improve their overall health.
