Shoulder pain has become increasingly common in recent years, often linked to modern habits such as frequent computer and smartphone use, prolonged sitting, and reduced daily movement. The shoulder is a highly mobile and complex joint, and pain in this area can have a range of causes – from local injury to referred pain from the neck or upper back.
At ONE HEALTH, our team will work with you to assess your symptoms, identify possible contributing factors, and create a tailored plan to support your recovery and ongoing function.
Common shoulder conditions we see in clinic
- Rotator cuff injuries (including tears)
- Tendonitis
- Shoulder impingement (subacromial bursitis – when tendons are compressed during movement)
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis – when the shoulder capsule becomes stiff and swollen, limiting mobility)
- Postural tension from prolonged sitting or device use
- Referred pain from the neck, upper back, or other areas
Symptoms that may be associated with shoulder pain
- Sharp or catching pain when lifting or reaching
- Weakness in the arm or grip
- Aching or throbbing discomfort, especially at night
- Pain radiating into the arm
- Stiffness in the neck and shoulder
- Reduced ability to move the shoulder freely
How we may be able to help
Following a thorough assessment, your practitioner may:
- Use techniques aimed at supporting flexibility in the shoulder muscles
- Work to improve joint movement in the shoulder, shoulder blade, neck, and upper back
- Provide exercises to build flexibility and strength in the shoulder region
- Address postural habits that may be contributing to strain
- Offer advice on maintaining mobility and strength to support long-term function
- Refer you to your GP if additional investigations or medical treatment are required
