Shoulder Pain Treatment in Gibsonia, PA
Persistent shoulder pain can limit your ability to move, sleep, or lift objects comfortably—especially when it radiates into the arm, neck, or upper back. At HealthyWays Integrated Wellness Solutions in Gibsonia, PA, we provide chiropractic care focused on restoring joint alignment, easing muscle tension, and helping your shoulder move as it should. Whether your discomfort started suddenly or has been building over time, our team is experienced in treating shoulder pain using natural, non-invasive techniques that aim to reduce inflammation and improve overall function.
Diagnosing Shoulder Pain at HealthyWays
Each patient receives a thorough shoulder exam, including posture assessment, movement testing, and a review of how the pain started. In many cases, the shoulder isn’t the only problem—misalignments in the neck or upper back may be contributing to nerve irritation or poor muscle function. By identifying the true source, we can recommend the right chiropractic approach from the start.
Chiropractic Shoulder Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments help correct misalignments in the spine and shoulder that can lead to inflammation, pain, and muscle spasms. At HealthyWays, we use gentle adjustments to restore movement, reduce pressure on nerves, and improve blood flow to the affected tissues. Regular care can help you regain shoulder function and reduce long-term stiffness or discomfort.
Treating Shoulder Pain from Postural Syndrome
For patients experiencing shoulder and neck discomfort from poor posture, especially related to prolonged sitting or screen use, we focus on correcting postural habits alongside adjustments. Dr. Francesca Pettinato often treats postural syndrome with a combination of spinal alignment, movement education, and home exercises. This approach is especially effective for pain caused by forward head posture or rounded shoulders.
