Do you have shoulder pain in Sacramento CA? Shoulder pain can be more than just a daily inconvenience; it can disrupt your sleep, limit your mobility, and make simple tasks like reaching overhead or brushing your hair frustrating and painful.

At Gibson Chiropractic, we see many patients from Sacramento and surrounding areas, including Arden Arcade, Carmichael, North Highlands, Town and Country, and Antelope, struggling with shoulder conditions that interfere with their daily lives.

Whether you’re dealing with frozen shoulder, adhesive capsulitis, a rotator cuff injury, or other shoulder issues, chiropractic care provides a safe, drug-free approach to healing and long-term relief.


Understanding Common Shoulder Conditions

Your shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in your body, but that mobility also makes it more vulnerable to injuries and chronic conditions. Here are some of the shoulder problems we often see in our Sacramento clinic:

  • Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): A painful condition caused by inflammation and stiffness in the joint capsule, leading to restricted movement.
  • Rotator Cuff Injuries: Damage or inflammation of the tendons and muscles stabilizing the shoulder, often caused by repetitive use, trauma, or poor posture.
  • Shoulder Impingement: When tendons are pinched during movement, it causes inflammation and pain.
  • Postural Strain: Prolonged desk work, driving, or looking down at devices can lead to tightness, weakness, and misalignment in the shoulder area.
  • Arthritis and Wear-and-Tear: Chronic inflammation and degeneration of the shoulder joint that limits mobility and causes ongoing pain

How Chiropractic Care Helps Shoulder Pain in Sacramento CA

At Gibson Chiropractic, our goal is to identify and address the root cause of your shoulder pain — not just the symptoms. Here’s how our personalized care can help:

1. Restoring Alignment

Misalignments in the spine, especially in the neck and upper back can affect the nerves that control your shoulder muscles. Gentle adjustments restore proper alignment and nerve function, improving mobility and reducing pain.

2. Improving Range of Motion

For frozen shoulder and similar conditions, specific adjustments and mobilization techniques can break up joint restrictions, helping restore range of motion.

3. Reducing Inflammation and Discomfort

Through adjustments and adjunct care such as soft tissue work or physiotherapy modalities we help reduce inflammation, ease muscle tension, and promote faster recovery.

4. Supporting Soft Tissue Healing

Rotator cuff and soft tissue injuries require proper blood flow and mobility to heal. Chiropractic care encourages better circulation and supports the body’s natural healing process.

5. Postural and Ergonomic Guidance

Many shoulder problems stem from poor posture at work or during daily activities. We provide tailored advice and corrective exercises to strengthen supporting muscles and prevent future injuries.


At-Home Care and Exercises

Alongside in-office treatment, we often recommend targeted stretches and exercises to speed up recovery and maintain progress. These may include:

  • Gentle pendulum swings to loosen the joint
  • Wall walks or pulley stretches to regain mobility
  • Strengthening exercises for the rotator cuff and upper back
  • Postural correction stretches to combat tension from sitting or tech use
