Shoulder Pain

If the mobilization is followed with the appropriate muscle and nerve retraining the results will last.

When treating the shoulder, it is very important to screen the neck for nerve irritation. To the person experiencing the pain, nerve and shoulder pain can feel exactly the same but a 30 second screen can focus treatment and let you know if the pain originates at the shoulder. Once you have established the pain is coming from the shoulder manual mobilization can rapidly relieve any impingement or pinch you may have. If the mobilization is followed with the appropriate muscle and nerve retraining the results will last. We can typically relieve the pain within a few visits. Compare that to the 12-15 visits required by other approaches and the benefits of manual therapy become clear.
