Shoulder pain is not always a shoulder problem. The neck, the upper back and the shoulder blade all share the work, so we check each of them before deciding where care should go.
When it is urgent. Call 911 for shoulder or arm pain that comes with chest pressure, shortness of breath or sweating. See a medical provider promptly after a fall if the shoulder looks out of place or you cannot lift the arm.
Range of motion, strength and orthopedic tests for the shoulder, with a check of the neck and upper back that often feed it.
Joint mobilization and muscle work for the shoulder, adjustments for the neck and upper back, and laser therapy at our Wheaton office when appropriate.
Stretching and strengthening for the rotator cuff and shoulder blade, built up in stages.
Care is provided by Dr. Adam Tilson, D.C., and Dr. Michael Rager, D.C., chiropractic physicians. Results vary from person to person.

Yes. Illinois chiropractic physicians evaluate and treat joints and muscles throughout the body, not only the spine.
The exam tells us whether conservative care is reasonable to try. If we suspect a tear that needs imaging or a surgical opinion, we refer you.
