Shoulder Pain

Understanding Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can creep into your life in countless ways, struggling to get dressed, reaching for a high cupboard, or even sleeping comfortably at night. Sometimes it develops suddenly after an injury, while other times it builds slowly and lingers.

Common causes of shoulder pain include:

  • Rotator cuff injuries or tendon irritation
  • Frozen shoulder (stiffness and reduced mobility)
  • Shoulder joint dysfunction or arthritis
  • Overuse injuries from sport, work, or repetitive movement
  • Age-related wear and tear
  • Postural strain from desk work or poor ergonomics

Whatever the cause, chiropractic care can help by reducing pain, restoring mobility, and addressing the underlying issue to stop it coming back.

Chiropractic Care for Shoulder Pain in Devon

At East Devon Chiropractic, we see shoulder problems every week, from young athletes to older patients managing stiffness. Our approach focuses on finding the exact cause of your pain, rather than just treating the symptoms.

Treatment may involve:

  • Gentle adjustments and mobilisations to improve shoulder and spine movement
  • Soft tissue techniques to ease muscle tightness and inflammation
  • Targeted strengthening and stretching exercises to rebuild mobility and stability
  • Lifestyle and posture advice to prevent flare-ups and future injuries
  • Western Medical Acupuncture to help with pain relief and muscle tension

Our goal is not just to get you out of pain, but to help you move freely and confidently again.

What to expect from your treatment

Lots of questions!

In order to determine the most appropriate course of action for you, we need to have a full picture of your health and what you would like to achieve from Chiropractic treatment.

A physical assessment

This will be undertaken with minimal removal of clothing. A modesty gown can be provided if needed.

Recommendations for care.

Once all the information has been gathered, we will discuss the findings with you and recommend a care plan. With your consent you will then usually receive your first treatment.

Patient Stories

Excellent, friendly service. Got an appointment quickly when I really needed one and has made a world of difference to my recovery. Heather takes time to understand the issue, and what you as a patient want to get out of the treatment. In my case, developing exercises and a strategy for preventing the issues from reoccurring. Brilliant all round
Paul Massam
Heather is amazing, she eases the physical pain with knowledge and a laugh, which eases the emotional pain too. I would have been so stuck without her, and am happy to recommend her to everyone. And don't forget the team that answer phones, make appointments, and generally keep the ship afloat. Thank you to all.
