Chiropractic Care for Shoulder Pain in St. Louis, MO
There is no easy way to avoid using your shoulder throughout the day. When you’re experiencing shoulder pain, everyday movements like getting dressed, reaching into a cabinet or carrying groceries can become difficult and slow you down.

At Mattingly Chiropractic, you’ll receive personalized chiropractic care that takes a holistic approach to shoulder pain, helping you move more comfortably and return to the activities you enjoy.
What Causes Shoulder Pain?
The shoulder has a greater range of motion than any other joint in the body. Its flexibility allows you to lift, reach and rotate your arm, but it also makes the shoulder vulnerable to injury and irritation.
Common causes of shoulder pain include:
- Rotator cuff injuries resulting from falls, repetitive overhead movements or ordinary wear and tear
- Bursitis or tendinitis involving inflammation in the tissues surrounding the shoulder joint
- Shoulder impingement involving pinched or irritated tendons when you raise your arm
- Arthritis causing stiffness, discomfort and reduced mobility
- Poor posture or repetitive strain resulting from computer use, lifting or other daily activities
- Referred pain resulting from problems in the neck, upper back or nearby nerves
Because shoulder pain has many possible causes, an accurate assessment is an important first step toward finding the right treatment.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Relieve Shoulder Pain
After thoroughly evaluating your shoulder pain, Dr. Dusty will develop a personalized treatment plan designed to improve alignment and movement in your shoulder and nearby joints.
With consistent chiropractic care from Dr. Dusty, you can experience:
- Greater range of motion in the shoulder and surrounding joints
- Less strain on the shoulder from imbalances in the neck or upper back
- Reduced muscle tension
