Introduction
Shoulder pain is one of the most limiting forms of discomfort. Whether it shows up as sharp pain when lifting your arm, stiffness when reaching behind your back, or constant aching at night, shoulder problems can interfere with work, sleep, and daily life.
Many Pleasant Grove residents are surprised to learn that shoulder pain is often connected to theneck, upper spine, and posture—not just the shoulder joint itself. AtThe Chiro in Pleasant Grove, Utah,Dr. Bruce R. Lowryhelps patients find lasting relief by addressing the full mechanical and neurological causes of shoulder dysfunction.
The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body, which also makes it one of the most vulnerable. Common conditions include:
Rotator cuff strain
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
Shoulder impingement
Tendon inflammation
Referred pain from the neck
When posture, spinal alignment, or muscle balance is off, the shoulder joint is forced to compensate. Over time, this leads to restricted movement, inflammation, and pain.
Nerves that control the shoulder originate in the cervical and upper thoracic spine. If those spinal segments are misaligned or irritated, the shoulder may lose proper muscle coordination and stability.
This can result in:
Weakness when lifting
Pain with overhead motion
Limited range of motion
Shoulder stiffness at night
Tingling or aching down the arm
Treating only the shoulder often provides temporary relief, but lasting improvement requires addressing the spinal component.
Dr. Lowry evaluates the neck, upper back, shoulder joints, and posture to identify the root cause of dysfunction. Chiropractic care can help by:
Restoring proper spinal alignment
Reducing nerve irritation affecting shoulder muscles
Improving joint mobility
Releasing muscle tension in the neck and upper back
Supporting better posture and movement patterns
Patients often notice improved range of motion, reduced pain, and greater confidence using their shoulder again.
