Is your shoulder pain coming from your neck?
BeachLife Physiotherapy • 11 July 2024
Shoulder pain can often stem from issues in the neck, known as referred pain. This occurs when nerves in the neck are irritated or compressed, causing pain signals to radiate to the shoulder. A sports chiropractor specialises in diagnosing and treating such conditions by addressing muscle tension and nerve impingements that contribute to both neck and shoulder discomfort. Through targeted mobilisations, soft tissue therapies, dry needling, and tailored rehabilitation exercises, a sports chiropractor can effectively alleviate pain, restore mobility, and prevent future injuries, offering athletes and active individuals comprehensive care for optimal performance and recovery.

Reduce irritation, not movement Bursitis often flares with repeated irritation or overload. This doesn't mean you should stop moving, gentle movement helps maintain confidence and support recovery. Avoid prolonged pressure This may include lying on the sore side, leaning on elbow, or sitting on hard surfaces for long periods. Simple position changes and added support can significantly reduce symptoms. Settle symptom first, then rebuild strength As pain settles, gradual strengthening improves load tolerance and helps prevent flare-ups. Recovery is about building capacity - not just reducing pain.
