Shoulder Pain Treatment in Redmond, WA

Shoulder pain can limit everything from lifting groceries to reaching overhead or sleeping comfortably. Whether you're dealing with a recent injury or nagging stiffness, our team at Eastside Ideal Health offers chiropractic and rehabilitative care to restore your range of motion and eliminate pain—without drugs or surgery.

What Causes Shoulder Pain?

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in your body—which also makes it one of the most vulnerable to dysfunction. Common conditions we treat include:

• Rotator cuff strains or tendinitis
• Impingement syndrome—pinching of soft tissues under the acromion
• Bursitis—inflammation of the shoulder’s fluid-filled sac
• Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
• Shoulder instability or dislocation recovery
• Referred pain from the neck or spine

When Should You See a Chiropractor?

If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, chiropractic care may help:

• Limited overhead reach or arm mobility
• Sharp or dull pain with lifting or rotation
• Pain that interferes with sleep or daily activity
• Clicking, popping, or weakness in the joint
• Symptoms that don’t resolve with rest

Comprehensive Evaluation & Diagnosis

We begin with a thorough orthopedic and movement-based exam to determine the cause of your shoulder pain. This may include:

• Range-of-motion and joint stability testing
• Shoulder impingement and rotator cuff integrity tests
• Neck and thoracic spine screening for referred pain
• Postural and scapular mechanics assessment
• Referral for imaging (X-ray or MRI) when necessary

Chiropractic & Rehab Treatments for Shoulder Pain

We customize care based on your specific condition and goals. Your plan may include:

• Shoulder and spinal adjustments to improve joint mechanics
• Joint mobilization for frozen shoulder or stiffness
• Soft tissue therapy (trigger point release, myofascial techniques)
• Instrument-assisted therapy (Graston or IASTM)
• Rehabilitative exercises for rotator cuff, scapular control, and posture
• Laser, ultrasound, or heat therapy to reduce inflammation

Evidence-Based Support

“Manual therapy and exercise show significant benefit for shoulder pain conditions, including impingement and adhesive capsulitis.”

We Treat the Whole Kinetic Chain

Shoulder dysfunction often originates from postural issues or poor mobility in the spine or ribcage. That’s why we look beyond the joint to correct the root causes—helping you move better, not just feel better temporarily.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a chiropractor help rotator cuff injuries?

Yes, especially for non-tear injuries like tendonitis or impingement. We combine adjustments, soft tissue work, and strengthening to support recovery.

What if I’ve already had shoulder surgery?

We regularly help patients post-operatively to regain strength, mobility, and symmetry. Chiropractic care can safely support surgical rehab timelines.

Will I need to stop working out?

Not necessarily. We’ll guide you through modifications and create a plan to help you stay active while healing.
