Shoulder Pain
The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body, allowing for a wide range of movement during everyday activities, work, sports, and exercise. Because of its complexity and frequent use, the shoulder is also vulnerable to injury, irritation, and overuse.
Shoulder discomfort can develop gradually or occur suddenly following an accident, sports injury, or repetitive motion. Common causes include tendon irritation, muscle strain, joint restrictions, rotator cuff injuries, bursitis, and age-related wear and tear.
Symptoms may include pain while lifting the arm, reduced range of motion, weakness, stiffness, or discomfort that interferes with sleep and daily activities.
Our chiropractic team performs a thorough evaluation to identify factors contributing to shoulder pain and develops a personalized treatment plan focused on improving mobility, restoring function, and helping patients return to the activities they enjoy.

Dr South is very professional and sincerely cares about his patients. He has eliminated my migraines and continues to improve issues with my neck and back. I had an elderly dog who could hardly walk and I took him to the vet three times in two weeks. They gave me prescriptions that were not helping, then recommended a chiropractor. I was surprised they recommended Dr South, already my chiropractor! One visit and he was walking pretty normal. After the second visit he was running and playing like a puppy. We had another three years of quality life thanks to Dr South. I'm so grateful to have him in my life!

Dr South, Sharon, Sam and NaMeta are amazing. They genuinely want to know how you are doing from visit to visit. They know each of their patients by name and greet you at the door. Their attention to detail is spot on. I enjoy every session that I have with them. Can't imagine going to anyone else for my Chiropractic needs.

Your customized care plan targets muscular imbalances and weaknesses while enhancing movement quality and restoring normal function. This program is tailored to your unique circumstances so you can overcome pain and reach your full health potential.
Nervous System Based Approach
Your nervous system serves as the body's primary command center, regulating every cell, tissue, muscle, and organ. By prioritizing nervous system health and enhancing its performance, we can boost your overall wellness, decrease discomfort, and help prevent future health issues.

How Does a Chiropractor Treat Shoulder Pain in Newark, DE?
Shoulder pain treatment varies depending on the cause. Shoulder manipulation realigns shoulder joints, especially after an injury. It also helps with arthritic shoulder pain. Spinal manipulation effectively addresses shoulder pain for pain radiating from the spine. For instance, an impinged nerve in the spine may send pain signals to the shoulders.
Other treatments for shoulder pain include:
- Massage therapy to alleviate pain and inflammation for soft tissue injuries.
- Stretching exercises to restore range of motion and reduce pain.
- Lifestyle counseling recommends lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of shoulder pain.
