Shoulder pain · Grand Rapids, MI
A shoulder that will not settle needs more than rest.
Knapp Family Chiropractic in Grand Rapids sees shoulders that ache with overhead reach, sleep, and lifting kids. The shoulder is the most mobile joint you own, which means it depends on everything around it behaving.
Sound like you?
- Pain reaching overhead or behind your back
- A shoulder you cannot sleep on
- Pinching with certain motions rather than constant pain
- Tightness that runs from the neck into the shoulder cap
How Dr. Knapp looks at it
Shoulder symptoms commonly involve the neck, upper back, and ribs, not just the shoulder joint itself. Dr. Knapp examines the full region to find which joints are actually restricted. Where findings support it, specific adjusting can help restore motion in the segments the shoulder depends on, and many patients find the shoulder settles as the mechanics improve.
What to expect
Range-of-motion testing, a segment-by-segment exam, and a clear explanation of what is driving the pinch. If your rotator cuff needs imaging or a surgical opinion, Dr. Knapp tells you directly.
