Find Relief from Shoulder Pain with Chiropractic Care
Shoulder pain can limit everything from reaching overhead to picking up a grocery bag. Whether it's from an injury, poor posture, or repetitive use, you don’t have to just live with it. At Restorative Care Chiropractic in Peachtree City, we help you treat the root cause of shoulder pain, restore function, and improve mobility — without relying on medication or surgery.
What Is Shoulder Pain?
Shoulder pain can stem from a wide range of issues — from muscle strains to joint imbalances to nerve irritation. The shoulder joint is incredibly versatile, but also highly susceptible to overuse, poor posture, and even sudden injury.
Common types of shoulder pain include:
-
Rotator Cuff Injuries: Strains, tears, or inflammation of the muscles and tendons in the shoulder.
-
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): Stiffness and limited movement due to inflammation of the shoulder capsule.
-
Shoulder Impingement: When tendons or bursa in the shoulder get pinched during arm movements.
-
Shoulder Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the shoulder joint.
-
Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons, commonly caused by repetitive motion.
-
Labral Tears: Injury to the cartilage that lines the shoulder socket, often caused by overhead movements.
Shoulder pain can make even simple tasks, like reaching, lifting, or carrying, difficult. Chiropractic care can help reduce pain and restore proper shoulder function.
How Chiropractic Care Helps with Shoulder Pain
Rather than masking symptoms with medications, chiropractic care targets the underlying cause of your shoulder pain to help you heal naturally. Our comprehensive approach combines gentle spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapies, and movement corrections to address misalignments and muscle imbalances in the shoulder and neck.
Here’s how chiropractic care works for shoulder pain:
- Spinal and Postural Adjustments: Realigning the upper back and neck can reduce stress on the shoulder joint and nerves.
- Targeted Soft Tissue Therapy: Using techniques like shockwave and Dolphin Neurostim, we release tight muscles and reduce inflammation around the shoulder.
- Movement and Mobility Training: We’ll work on restoring the full range of motion and strengthening the muscles around the shoulder to improve stability.
- Personalized Stretching and Strengthening Exercises: You’ll learn exercises and stretches to improve flexibility and prevent future injuries.
With chiropractic care, we help the shoulder joint heal naturally while preventing future pain and dysfunction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can chiropractic care help with rotator cuff injuries?
Yes! Chiropractic care can help improve shoulder mobility, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain caused by rotator cuff injuries. We work with your muscles, joints, and tendons to promote natural healing.
How long will it take to see results?
Everyone is different. Many patients begin to feel relief after a few visits, but for chronic conditions, a longer treatment plan may be necessary.
Is chiropractic care safe for shoulder injuries?
Absolutely! We use gentle, non-invasive techniques designed to support your healing process. Your comfort and safety are always our top priority.
Do I need imaging before starting treatment?
Not necessarily. In most cases, we can start treatment based on a thorough physical exam. If we feel imaging is necessary, we will refer you for X-rays or MRI scans.
Shoulder Pain in Athletes and Active Adults
Sports that involve overhead movement, swinging, or repetitive arm use — like tennis, golf, pickleball, swimming, or even weightlifting — can put a lot of stress on the shoulder joint.
Common shoulder issues we help athletes with:
-
Rotator cuff irritation from overuse or poor movement mechanics
-
Shoulder impingement from repetitive overhead motions
-
Muscle imbalance or instability from improper posture or weak core engagement
-
Golf and tennis swing mechanics that overwork one side of the body
-
Scar tissue buildup from old shoulder injuries
If you’re feeling shoulder pain during your backswing, your serve, or even after a workout — it could be a sign of spinal or postural misalignment affecting the way your shoulder moves.
At Restorative Care Chiropractic, we don’t just treat the shoulder — we assess the entire kinetic chain, including the neck, mid-back, and core, to fix the movement patterns behind the pain. We use gentle chiropractic adjustments, Dolphin Neurostim therapy, shockwave therapy and sport-specific rehab exercises to help you recover quickly — and stay in the game.
Whether you’re an athlete, weekend warrior, or someone who just wants to move better, we’ll help you strengthen, stabilize, and protect your shoulders for long-term performance.
