Shoulder pain is often linked to dysfunction in the cervical or thoracic spine, not just the shoulder joint itself. Chiropractic care addresses both the local joint mechanics and the spinal alignment that controls nerve function to the shoulder and arm. Dr. Wheat and Dr. Galbraith's integrated approach helps resolve pain, restore range of motion, and prevent recurrence. Treatment may include shoulder and upper-back adjustments, soft-tissue work on the rotator cuff and surrounding muscles, and rehabilitative exercises to strengthen the stabilizing muscles. Whether you are dealing with a rotator cuff strain, frozen shoulder, impingement, or pain referred from the neck, the doctors identify the root cause and build a targeted, drug-free treatment plan.
