Shoulder Pain & Rotator Cuff Relief in East Hamilton

Because the shoulder joint (a ball-and-socket system) connects your arm, collarbone, shoulder blade, and spine, pain can originate from several different structures, even the neck. The biggest key to figuring out where your pain comes from is establishing if your shoulder hurts when;

• Pain reaching into cupboards

• Pain putting on a bra or jacket

• Pain throwing a baseball

• Pain lifting a child

• Pain sleeping on that shoulder

• Weakness pouring a kettle

• Pain fastening a seatbelt

​

This will help us diagnose and treat any possible condition, such as frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), bicep tendonitis, tears, strains sprains and more!

Shoulder injuries don't always happen from a single traumatic event. In fact, most shoulder issues develop gradually over time due to repetitive overhead movements, postural strain or a history of injuries.

​

• Chiropractic Care: We perform gentle, targeted adjustments to restore proper alignment and movement to the restricted joints in your upper neck and thoracic spine. This instantly reduces pressure on sensitive nerves and relaxes the surrounding tissues.

• Massage Therapy: Our registered massage therapists focus on melting away stubborn muscle knots (trigger points) in your upper back, shoulders, and suboccipital muscles to stop pain from referring to your head.

• Physiotherapy: We design simple, effective stretching and postural strengthening protocols to help your body handle daily stress and desk work, keeping the tension from building up in the first place.

Your recovery begins with a thorough assessment. All practitioners in out office work together and create strong inter-office referrals, so whether you book in with Jose our Physiotherapist or Dr. Di Filippo, you will be directed in the right direction.

​

From there, we develop a treatment plan that's tailored specifically to you. 

 

Our goal isn't simply to provide temporary relief. We want to improve how your body moves, reduce the likelihood of recurring pain, and help you return to the activities that matter most. Throughout your care, we'll explain every step of the process so you understand not only what we're doing, but why we're doing it.

• Is my pain muscular?

• Should I use ice or heat?

• Should I stay active?

• When should I worry?

• How long does recovery take?

We'll help you figure it out!
