Shoulder pain treatment in Chorley, Lancashire

Expert care to restore shoulder movement at ProHealth Chiropractic
The shoulder is your body’s most mobile joint, allowing you to lift, reach, carry, and perform countless daily activities. But this incredible flexibility also makes it prone to pain and injury. At ProHealth Chiropractic, we help Chorley residents manage shoulder pain, addressing both symptoms and the underlying causes.

Understanding shoulder pain

While some shoulder issues stem from the joint itself, many arise from problems in the neck or upper back. Proper nerve communication and muscle balance are essential for smooth shoulder function. Your shoulder consists of four separate joints working together, supported by muscles and nerves, all requiring precise coordination.

Common causes of shoulder pain include:

  • Spinal misalignments affecting nerve function
  • Neck and upper back muscle tension
  • Poor posture and rounded shoulders
  • Sports injuries or repetitive strain
  • Work-related strain from computers or repetitive tasks
  • Bursitis, arthritis, or frozen shoulder

Common causes of shoulder pain include:

Spinal Misalignments: When vertebrae in your neck are out of position, they can irritate nerves controlling your shoulder function.
Neck and Upper Back Tension: Tight muscles in your neck and upper back can restrict shoulder movement and cause referred pain.
Poor Posture: Forward head posture and rounded shoulders can create muscle imbalances and strain on the shoulder joint.
Sports Injuries: Repetitive movements or sudden trauma can damage the rotator cuff and surrounding tissues.
Work-Related Strain: Extended computer use and repetitive tasks can lead to shoulder dysfunction.
Bursitis: The fluid-filled sacs that cushion your shoulder joint can become inflamed, causing pain with movement and pressure.
Frozen Shoulder: A condition where the shoulder capsule becomes tight and restricts movement.
Arthritis: Natural wear and tear can cause joint inflammation and restricted motion.

Seek professional assessment if you experience:

  • Pain lasting more than a week
