Shoulder Pain


Shoulder pain can be caused by a wide variety of things, including a subluxation, or vertebral misalignment, or injury.

Most often, shoulder pain can be traced to tenderness or soreness of the rotator cuff tendon. The rotator cuff is the part of the shoulder that allows you move your arms in a circular motion.

In other cases, the bursa, or fluid sack, in your upper shoulder can become inflamed after a period of heavy lifting or other kind of physical activity involving repeated raising and lowering of the arms
