Chiropractic Treatment for Shoulder Pain Singapore

Shoulder Pain Chiropractic Treatment in Singapore

The shoulder is one of the most mobile — and most complex — joints in the body, made up of the rotator cuff, the main ball-and-socket joint, the AC joint, tendons and bursa. That complexity means shoulder pain has many possible sources, from rotator cuff and tendon problems to impingement, bursitis and frozen shoulder. It can also be referred from the neck.

Our chiropractic treatment for shoulder pain begins with a careful assessment to find the real source of your pain — then combines hands-on care, soft-tissue therapy, shockwave and rehabilitation to relieve it, restore movement and rebuild the strength that keeps your shoulder healthy. It’s non-surgical and drug-free, and we’re honest: if your shoulder needs a scan, a doctor or a surgeon, we’ll tell you and refer.
