Shoulder pain can make simple movements — like getting dressed, reaching overhead, or even sleeping — feel difficult and frustrating. Whether it’s a dull ache, sharp discomfort, or limited mobility, shoulder pain can interfere with your day-to-day life more than you realise.
Common in both active and sedentary people, shoulder issues often develop from poor posture, repetitive strain, or underlying imbalances. At our Solihull chiropractic clinics, we take a whole-body approach to identify what’s causing the problem and offer hands-on, drug-free care to help you move more freely and comfortably.
Shoulder pain can show up in many ways, and symptoms can vary depending on the underlying cause. You might experience:
Some symptoms may appear suddenly, while others build gradually over time.
The shoulder is a complex and highly mobile joint — which means it’s prone to strain, overuse, and tension. Common causes of shoulder pain include:
We also frequently see shoulder pain linked to lifestyle factors like stress, lack of movement, or poor desk setup.
Understanding where your shoulder pain is coming from is the first step toward lasting relief. At The Chiropractors, we take time to listen to your story — how the pain started, how it feels, and how it’s affecting your daily routine.
We’ll carry out a comprehensive assessment, which may include:
If further investigation (like imaging or a referral) is needed, we’ll explain everything clearly and help guide your next steps.
Once we’ve identified the root of the problem, we create a treatment plan tailored to you — not just the symptoms, but your lifestyle and goals, too.
Your care may include:
Our aim is to help you move more freely, restore confidence in your shoulder, and support your recovery with simple tools you can use at home. Many patients notice steady improvement in mobility, comfort, and strength as their care progresses.
