What causes shoulder pain?
Shoulder pain is common in Australia, affecting 22% of adults. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- poor posture
- overuse
- injuries
- arthritis
- underlying musculoskeletal issues
In younger people, it often results from accidents or injuries, while in older people, it can result from natural wear and tear on the shoulder joint and rotator cuff tendons.
The good news is that for most people, shoulder pain can be improved with the appropriate treatment.

This varies based on factors such as the severity of your condition and your response to treatment. Initially, we recommend up to 1-2 visits per week, then fewer visits as pain improves. Once your pain is controlled, we recommend monthly maintenance visits or as needed for ongoing care and prevention.
The time it takes to see improvements varies depending on the severity and cause of your shoulder pain. Many patients experience relief after a few sessions, while others require more extensive treatment.
Some patients may experience mild soreness or discomfort after an adjustment, but this is usually temporary. Serious side effects are extremely rare.
