Shoulder Discomfort

Muscles play a very important part in normal shoulder function. Injuries can eliminate the ability of the muscles to integrate, causing imbalance or further injury.

Nearly all shoulder problems correlate, to some degree, with improper muscle activity. If muscular imbalance is not treated, a shoulder will continue to manifest symptoms long after the injury should have healed. Whenever a shoulder is involved, the entire body should be examined. The neck, pelvis, feet, wrist, or internal organs could be the cause of shoulder pain. For example, the cause of a patient's shoulder pain could be the result of a misaligned tooth.
