Shoulder Pain
SHOULDER PAIN TREATMENT AT TANGELO’S SEATTLE CLINICs
At Tangelo, we don’t just focus on the obvious symptom. We also look for passive and active movement breakdowns and weaknesses in your mid-back, arms, and core to see what’s contributing to the condition. We’ll take you through an extensive assessment to look at your body mechanics and make sure that you stay out of pain once you get out of pain.
From your assessment, we’ll create a customized plan for you that involves a blend of advanced, manual therapy and progressive, functional rehabilitation.
If you are in Seattle and experiencing shoulder pain due to sciatica, rotator cuff tears, frozen shoulder, or any other reason, book an appointment on our website today to get treatment from the best chiropractors in Seattle!
SIGNS + SYMPTOMS OF SHOULDER PAIN
Shoulder pain is a common condition we treat at Tangelo. The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body and is designed to substitute stability for mobility. Therefore, it’s crucial that proper shoulder position and strength are maintained in all ranges of motion. Without it, pain can develop in and around the joint, leading to weakness, limited use, and re-injury.
WHAT CAUSES SHOULDER PAIN?
Our Seattle Chiropractors see several patients daily due to shoulder-related pain and injuries. We have a variety of solutions that safely and effectively find the impairment in the body and manage the pain and discomfort it initiates.
Shoulder pain comes in many forms: sharp, dull, debilitating, radiating; you don’t have to suffer through it. Our Chiropractors and rehab professionals are dedicated to your swift recovery.
Some of the reasons you may be experiencing shoulder pain include:
- Job-related physical work (construction workers, carpenters, landscapers)
- Faulty movement patterns
- Sport-related injuries (fly fishing, baseball, heavy weightlifting)
- Muscle and joint overuse
- Postural conditions (poor posture)
- Old injuries
- A fall or an accident
- Chronic injuries
SPECIFIC SHOULDER INJURIES WE TREAT
Shoulder pain is often due to an injury to the shoulder itself; however, the shoulder can also pay the price when other areas of the body are injured. These other injuries may strain the shoulder joints, muscles, ligaments, and nerves.
When the cervical spine (the part of the spine found in the neck) or upper back are experiencing an injury, your shoulder(s) may encounter risk as well. This is why our Tangelo team finds the precise source of your symptoms and manages the problem at the core.
During your initial visit with our specialists and doctors, we will determine where your pain is coming from and why.
Some common shoulder injuries treated in our chiropractic clinic include:
- Shoulder impingement
- Shoulder bursitis
- Sciatica
- Rotator cuff strain
- Labrum tear
- Dislocation
- Rotator cuff tendinitis
- Frozen shoulder
- Herniated disc
- Spinal stenosis

Manual chiropractic adjustments to treat shoulder pain
Our hands-on approach to your care will reduce stress on areas that are causing pain in the shoulder. Controlled, high velocity, low amplitude thrusts are applied to the affected joint, offering function, performance, and comfort.
The Graston Technique to treat shoulder pain
This is a commonly used solution to shoulder pain; using specifically created handheld chiropractic tools, we can break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions found in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons. The patient will gain flexibility, range of motion, and comfort.
Active Release Techniques (ART) to treat shoulder pain
Our doctors are certified in ART and use proven methods that non-invasively treat shoulder sprains and strains, as well as other musculoskeletal issues. Managing the soft tissues and nerves restores natural movement and balance.
Kinesiology Tape to treat shoulder pain
This tape is used to support injured areas of the body, giving the area time to relax and heal as it provides blood and oxygen circulation. Allowing the shoulder to rest from its normal, everyday pressures and movements, the patient will experience a quicker recovery.
Functional rehabilitation therapy to treat shoulder pain
To benefit patients in their health plan, we provide directed and supervised exercises and stretches, as well as take-home activities to do on your own. We’ve seen firsthand how combining chiropractic care, and rehab therapies can strengthen the body and promote a quicker recovery. Our rehabilitation measures are geared to contribute to longevity and overall well-being.
Cupping to treat shoulder pain
Cups are used to suction the skin of the affected areas, which increases blood and oxygen flow throughout the body. The patients will achieve mobility and feel less pain, often immediately after the service.
To aid us in our endeavor to find you the best, safest, and fastest care plan, we use the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA). This assessment tests the patient’s movement patterns and helps our team determine the optimum approach to the patient’s unique chiropractic and rehabilitation plan.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
I can't say enough great things about all the staff, they're friendly, polite, engaging and very professional and the atmosphere is clean and bright. Welcoming.
My personal experience is with Dr Mike Smith and Lawrence for movement therapy. They are both simply amazing and I appreciate them both. I personally have many challenges in working out & performing PT. They are both very good at helping me work around these personal challenges. Everyone is very motivating and helps make me want to be stronger & healthier in general (not just to help with a recovery).
And shout out to their amazing MLS laser therapy and amazing laser tech! Wow, that thing is amazing. It helps with pain almost immediately and it helps speed my recovery in only 6-10 minute quick treatment sessions. I know, huh. "Laser-Beam"... Lol
Pure magic.
Don't hesitate to give them the opportunity to help you.
Again, highly recommended.
They are both very personable, and show genuine care and concern for their clients. That, coupled with their attention to detail and thoroughness not only made my treatment successful, but also very enjoyable.
Cannot recommend them enough.
