If you’re searching for shoulder pain treatment in Coffs Harbour, you’re in the right place.
Why Shoulder Pain Happens
The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body, but that also makes it vulnerable to strain, irritation and injury.
Common causes of shoulder pain include:
- Poor posture or rounded shoulders
- Repetitive strain from work or sport
- Muscle imbalance or weakness
- Rotator cuff irritation
- Shoulder impingement
- Joint restriction or stiffness
- Previous injuries that never fully healed
- Sleeping position
- Neck or upper‑back issues referring pain to the shoulder

Your chiropractor will assess your shoulder, neck, upper back and posture to identify what’s contributing to your symptoms.
Common Shoulder Conditions We Treat
People often come to us with:
- Rotator cuff strain or irritation
- Shoulder impingement
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Bursitis
- Tendon irritation
- Pain when lifting the arm
- Clicking or catching sensations
- Pain when sleeping on one side

If these sound familiar, chiropractic care may help restore normal movement and reduce pain.
