Shoulder pain isn’t always a shoulder problem. In fact, most of the shoulder complaints we see in our office are actually the result of issues in the neck, spine, rib cage, or posture — not the shoulder joint itself.
The shoulder is a complex and highly mobile joint that depends on proper alignment and stability from the rest of your body to function smoothly. When the nervous system is out of balance or there’s misalignment in the spine or ribs, it often leads to poor mechanics and compensation patterns that show up as shoulder tension, pain, or limited range of motion.
At The Chiropractic Place, we specialize in finding and correcting the root cause of your discomfort — not just treating the symptoms. Dr. Miller has over 30 years of experience helping patients overcome shoulder pain by focusing on spinal alignment, postural rehab, and nervous system optimization.
Many of our patients come in thinking they have a rotator cuff problem or need surgery, only to discover their shoulder pain dramatically improves once their spine, nervous system, and rib function are restored.
We’ve helped people with:
-
Shoulder impingement and tendonitis
-
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
-
Radiating arm or hand pain
-
Clicking or instability
-
Limited range of motion from old injuries
Before you resort to injections or unnecessary surgery, come see if a gentle, drug-free approach can help you restore proper movement and function to your body.
We love helping our Montrose and Foothill neighbors move freely, feel strong, and get back to doing the things they love — pain-free.
