Understanding Shoulder Pain: More Than Just a Local Issue
While some shoulder problems stem from the joint itself, many cases actually originate in the spine. Your shoulder’s function depends on proper nerve communication from your neck and upper back, and it’s one of the most complex joints in your body.
The shoulder is actually made up of four separate joints working together in a delicate balance. This intricate system includes the main ball-and-socket joint, where your upper arm bone fits into your shoulder blade, along with several smaller joints that allow for the remarkable range of motion your shoulder enjoys.
Think of your shoulder like a sophisticated puppet show – your muscles are the strings, your shoulder blade is the stage, and your arm is the puppet. Every movement requires perfect coordination between multiple muscles, joints, and nerves.
When any part of this system isn’t working properly, it can lead to pain and restricted movement. Your rotator cuff, a group of four muscles that stabilise your shoulder, plays a crucial role in this orchestration. These muscles must work in perfect harmony to keep your shoulder moving smoothly and painlessly. Common causes of shoulder pain include:
- Spinal Misalignments: When vertebrae in your neck are out of position, they can irritate nerves controlling your shoulder function.
- Neck and Upper Back Tension: Tight muscles in your neck and upper back can restrict shoulder movement and cause referred pain.
- Poor Posture: Forward head posture and rounded shoulders can create muscle imbalances and strain on the shoulder joint.
- Sports Injuries: Repetitive movements or sudden trauma can damage the rotator cuff and surrounding tissues.
- Work-Related Strain: Extended computer use and repetitive tasks can lead to shoulder dysfunction.
- Bursitis: The fluid-filled sacs that cushion your shoulder joint can become inflamed, causing pain with movement and pressure.
- Frozen Shoulder: A condition where the shoulder capsule becomes tight and restricts movement.
- Arthritis:Natural wear and tear can cause joint inflammation and restricted motion.

Professional Assessment and Diagnosis
Our approach begins with a thorough examination to identify the true source of your shoulder pain. We may start by examining your spine’s alignment, particularly in your neck and upper back, as these areas directly influence shoulder function through nerve pathways and muscle connections. We will carefully assess how your shoulder joint moves in all directions, checking for any restrictions or abnormal patterns that might indicate underlying problems.
We’ll also get a full history of how you move during everyday activities, as poor movement patterns can contribute to ongoing shoulder problems. Your posture throughout the day, especially during activities like computer work or driving, provides crucial clues about why your shoulder might hurt. We also test nerve function around your shoulder, as nerve irritation can cause pain, weakness, or numbness that might be mistaken for a simple shoulder strain.
We’ll develop a personalised treatment plan with specific spinal adjustments to improve nerve function and shoulder joint adjustments as needed. You may also benefit from:
- Soft tissue therapy for tight muscles
- Exercises to strengthen supporting muscles
- Posture correction techniques
- Ergonomic recommendations
Remember, shoulder pain often indicates a larger problem that needs attention. Early intervention can prevent minor issues from becoming chronic conditions. Our team at Liverpool Chiropractic is here to help you regain pain-free movement and return to the activities you love.

"I had recurring issues with my lower back and hips which physio had no impact on. I was in a lot of pain, especially at night, I went to LCC on a friend’s recommendation and it has become an integral part of my self care routine. I always feel better after a visit, Alex is fantastic and all the staff are professional, friendly and excellent at their jobs. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking relief from ongoing pain and/or injury.

"After suffering from lower back pain and severe migraines I attended the clinic back in 2021 to see if there was anything they could do. Ever since my migraines have improved significantly and my mobility has increased ten fold since starting the initial and ongoing treatment from the team. Always welcoming, always friendly and always able to put a smile on my face if I’m having a bad day. Thanks Team!!!

"I had terrible back pain in 2014. The reviews for Alex were very good so I booked in. I have had very little back pain since then but there have been problems with hamstrings and shoulders - all received treatment.
I have been attending the clinic every month since then. It is exceptionally efficient. I have recomended it to several people at sports clubs if they have sore backs or legs or elbows or necks.
Highly recommended.
