Shoulder Pain

Our Osteopaths are highly trained in treating shoulder injuries. During treatment, we focus on treating the root cause of your pain. Therefore, we will rarely only concentrate on your shoulder; we will examine your entire spine, including the neck, upper back, and pelvis, where we may often find additional structures contributing to your injury. Along with osteopathic treatment, we also address other predisposing factors, such as posture, poor ergonomic set-ups at the desk, and muscle imbalances.
