Chiropractic Care for Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can make simple tasks feel overwhelming. Whether it is reaching overhead, sleeping on your side, or lifting something at work, shoulder pain limits your daily routine and quality of life. Often, it is rooted in issues with spinal alignment or nerve interference, especially in the upper back and neck where the nerves that control the shoulder originate.
Epic Life Chiropractic in Wauwatosa provides care designed to address the source of shoulder pain, not just the symptoms. Using nerve scans, motion-based imaging, and focused chiropractic adjustments, we help restore function and ease inflammation. Our goal is to help you move comfortably again without depending on medication or surgery.
Our Shoulder Pain Treatment Approach
Epic Life Chiropractic is known for a care model built on precision, comfort, and results. We specialize in identifying hidden spinal injuries that often go overlooked and treating them through non-invasive methods that promote true healing. Our most commonly used technique is the Torque Release Technique, supported by MyoVision scanning and digital motion X-rays.
Torque Release Technique (TRT)
Accurate and Gentle
TRT uses the Integrator, a handheld instrument that delivers a controlled adjustment with pinpoint accuracy. It allows for comfortable care without twisting or cracking the spine.
Targets Nervous System Function
The nervous system controls nearly every function in the body. TRT supports nerve communication by correcting spinal subluxations and improving spinal alignment, which reduces stress and helps the body heal.
Safe for All Ages
This technique is ideal for those who want safe and gentle care. Patients of all ages, including pregnant women and children, benefit from its precision and light touch.
Effective for Shoulder and Upper Back Pain
TRT is especially effective for shoulder pain caused by nerve pressure, postural imbalances, and misalignments in the upper spine.
MyoVision Scanning
MyoVision scanning is one of the most important tools we use to find what other providers often overlook. It works by measuring the electrical activity of spinal muscles. When your body is compensating for a spinal ligament injury or misalignment, the surrounding muscles react by tensing or fatiguing. MyoVision helps us document these patterns and see the effects of nerve interference in real time.
This scan gives us a baseline for your spinal health and shows how your body responds to chiropractic care over time. It is non-invasive, safe for all ages, and often provides answers when traditional tests come up short.
Causes of Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can result from inflammation, nerve irritation, or structural issues in the spine. Problems like cervical misalignment, joint restriction, or poor posture often contribute to the discomfort. These issues can cause radiating pain, weakness, and reduced range of motion.
We use detailed motion imaging and nerve scanning to pinpoint the problem and develop a plan built specifically for your needs.
Shoulder Pain Conditions We Treat
Rotator Cuff Strain
Chronic overuse or injury to the muscles and tendons around the shoulder can cause pain and instability. Chiropractic adjustments help reduce joint stress and restore proper motion.
Postural Strain
Sitting at a desk or standing with poor posture can strain the neck and upper back, leading to shoulder pain. We focus on restoring alignment to relieve the pressure.
Nerve Compression
When nerves in the neck or upper spine are compressed, they can affect the shoulder. Chiropractic care improves nerve function and relieves tension.
Frozen Shoulder
This condition restricts movement and creates pain with almost any shoulder motion. Our goal is to improve joint motion and reduce muscular compensation patterns.
Vertebral Subluxations
Subluxations near the upper spine can interfere with nerve flow to the shoulders. We correct these misalignments with focused adjustments.
Activities Benefiting from Our Treatment
Shoulder pain can affect sleep, posture, work, and exercise. We work with people who type at desks, lift equipment, care for children, or play sports. Chiropractic care helps improve range of motion, comfort, and overall performance in daily life.
