Chiropractic for Shoulder Pain
Treating SHOULDER PAIN
Shoulder pain can significantly impact your daily activities, making tasks such as lifting your arm, sleeping comfortably, or engaging in your favourite hobbies difficult. At Ponteland Chiropractic, located in the heart of Northumberland, we specialise in diagnosing and treating shoulder problems, helping you find relief and regain full, pain-free movement.
Shoulder pain can stem from various causes, most common being overuse, trauma to the area such as a fall or impact, rotator cuff issues or even referred pain from the neck or other area.
Our experienced chiropractors are adept at identifying the underlying causes of shoulder pain, whether it stems from injury or repetitive strain. We provide targeted, personalised treatment to support your recovery and prevent future issues.

Common Causes of Shoulder Pain We Treat
We address a variety of conditions that can lead to shoulder discomfort. Most commonly seen are:
- Rotator Cuff Injuries: Tears, strains, and tendinopathy can cause significant pain and weakness.
- Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): This condition results in stiffness and a marked reduction in shoulder mobility.
- Other Soft Tissue Causes: This could also involve the muscles and joint capsule, but also ligaments and/or the bursae.
- Arthritis: Degenerative changes in the shoulder joint can result in chronic pain and stiffness.
- Referred Pain: Sometimes, shoulder pain can be linked to issues in the neck or upper back, which we can effectively treat with chiropractic care.

- Rehabilitation Exercises: We provide tailored exercises to strengthen the shoulder and restore stability.
- Posture and Ergonomic Advice: We offer guidance on workstation setups and daily habits to relieve stress on your shoulders.
