What Does Shoulder Pain Feel Like?
Shoulder pain can come on suddenly or build gradually over time. You might notice:
- A dull ache or sharp pain in one or both shoulders
- Difficulty lifting your arm or reaching overhead
- Clicking, grinding, or catching in the shoulder joint
- Pain that worsens at night or when lying on the affected side
- Stiffness or reduced range of motion

Whether the pain is localised or spreading, a proper diagnosis is key to getting the right care.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain

- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Rotator cuff strain or tendonitis
- Shoulder impingement syndrome
- Postural imbalances and muscle tension
- Sports injuries or repetitive strain
- Referred pain from the neck or spine
- Joint inflammation or arthritis

Shoulder Pain FAQs
Can chiropractic treatment help frozen shoulder?
Yes. Chiropractic techniques and joint mobilisation can help reduce inflammation and restore mobility in people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), especially when started early.
What is the Medi-Loop and how is it used?
The Medi-Loop is a non-invasive therapy that may be recommended in certain cases such as previous trauma to the shoulder region, or arthritic changes. If appropriate, your chiropractor will explain how it works and whether it could benefit your recovery.
Is it safe to adjust the shoulder joint?
Yes, our chiropractors use gentle, controlled techniques designed to restore movement safely and effectively.
