What Causes Shoulder Pain?

Effective, Non-Invasive Relief from Pinched Nerve Pain

Shoulder pain can result from a variety of musculoskeletal issues, often involving the bones, muscles, tendons, or nerves surrounding the joint. It’s one of the most common reasons people search for “shoulder pain relief near me” or “chiropractor for shoulder pain.” At Sandstone Chiropractic, we begin with a full assessment to determine what’s causing your discomfort.

Common Causes of Shoulder Pain

Rotator Cuff Injuries

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. Tears, strains, or inflammation in this area often lead to pain, weakness, and reduced range of motion. People frequently search for “rotator cuff pain relief without surgery,” which chiropractic care can often provide.

Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)

This condition causes stiffness and pain that worsens over time, often limiting mobility for months. Patients commonly search “chiropractic care for frozen shoulder,” looking for conservative solutions to improve flexibility and reduce inflammation.

Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

This occurs when the rotator cuff tendons are pinched between the bones of the shoulder, causing pain when lifting the arm. It’s often related to poor posture or overuse and is a frequent issue among athletes and desk workers.

Referred Pain from the Neck or Spine

Shoulder pain may not always originate in the shoulder. Cervical spine misalignments or pinched nerves can cause radiating pain down the arm and into the shoulder blade. Many patients search for “neck and shoulder pain chiropractor” for this very reason.

Bursitis or Tendonitis

Inflammation of the shoulder’s bursae (fluid-filled sacs) or tendons is often caused by overuse or repetitive motions. This leads to persistent pain that worsens with movement and is common in both active individuals and those with desk jobs.
