Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes shoulder pain?
Shoulder pain often comes from irritated or torn tendons, bursitis, overuse, arthritis, or injury. Posture and neck problems can add to it. Our team checks the shoulder, neck, and upper back to find what is contributing to your pain.
Can a chiropractor help with shoulder pain?
A chiropractor can often help by easing joint restriction and muscle tension around the shoulder and upper back. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons says treatment generally starts with rest, adjusted activity, and physical therapy. We add gentle methods and exercises and will refer you if you need imaging or other care.
When should I worry about shoulder pain?
Get medical help right away if your shoulder looks deformed, you can't move it, the pain is intense after an injury, or the pain comes with chest pain or shortness of breath. Ongoing pain that isn't improving also deserves an exam.
Do I need an X-ray before treatment?
Not always. Dr. Meier starts with a conversation and physical exam, including range of motion and joint testing, and she may suggest imaging if something needs a closer look. She explains each step before it happens.
