Shoulder Pain Treatment in Orchards, WA
At Vancouver Spinal Care, Dr. Scott Freeman provides comprehensive, non invasive care for patients suffering from shoulder pain across Orchards and greater Vancouver, WA. Shoulder discomfort is often more than a local issue – it may stem from spinal misalignment, soft tissue injury, nerve compression, or repetitive stress. Through personalized chiropractic adjustments, rehabilitative therapy, and movement retraining, we help you eliminate pain, improve shoulder function, and prevent recurring injuries.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can originate from various musculoskeletal or neurological factors. Because the shoulder joint relies on both spinal and muscular stability, dysfunction in the upper back or neck often contributes to the problem. Dr. Freeman uses advanced diagnostics and movement assessments to pinpoint the underlying source of your discomfort.
Common causes include:
- Rotator cuff injuries : Tears, strains, or tendinitis from overuse or trauma.
- Impingement syndrome : Compression of soft tissues by the shoulder blade.
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) : Inflammation causing stiffness and restriction.
- Postural stress : Rounded shoulders and forward head position causing muscle imbalances.
- Holding Mia : She's heavier than she looks 🙂
How Chiropractic Care Helps Shoulder Pain
Chiropractic care restores proper joint function and reduces inflammation throughout the shoulder region. Combining spinal and extremity adjustments ensures correct biomechanics, while soft tissue therapy promotes flexibility and healing. Dr. Freeman designs a custom plan based on your occupational, athletic, or daily activity needs.

- Chiropractic Adjustments : Align the shoulder and upper thoracic spine to improve movement.
