Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain may arise from the shoulder joint itself or from any of the many surrounding muscles, ligaments or tendons. Shoulder pain that comes from the joint usually worsens with activities or movement of your arm or shoulder.

Shoulder pain often originates from spinal misalignments, and disfunction, originating from the neck (cervical spine), and mid back (thoracic spine). This kind of referred pain is called radiculopathy, or a pinched nerve.
