Shoulder Pain Treatment in Kansas City

Are you experiencing shoulder pain?

 

Shoulder pain can be caused by chronic poor posture, muscular tension, improper biomechanics and stress. Shoulder pain is often the result of inefficient movement in the thoracic spine, scapula and shoulder combined with tightness in the neck, traps, shoulders, lats and chest. We often also experience weakness in our mid back (postural muscles) that fail to keep us in good posture.

Possible Treatments for Shoulder Pain

Active Release Technique

Acupuncture / Dry Needling

IASTM

Impingement

Chronic posture and tightness can lead to lack of shoulder mobility and pinching/ jammming when trying to bring your arm overhead.

 

Rotator Cuff Tear

Grinding / popping, weakness, decreased range of motion accompanied by pinpoint or radiating pain are often a sign of a rotator cuff tear.

Labral Tear

Labral tears can often be a rsult of repetitive activities (especially overhead) and movements that require quick force through the shoulder. Grinding and catching when rotating your arm in an arc are often hallmark signs.

 

Tendonitis

Repetitive and chronic movements can lead to a dull, achy and occasionaly sharp pain that often diagnosed as tendonitis. Tendonitis can also bring up weakness or hesitancy in movement.
