Shoulder Pain Relief in Lexington, KY

Shoulder pain can make even simple movements, like reaching overhead, lifting a bag, or getting dressed, feel difficult. For athletes, it can mean sitting on the sidelines. For parents, it can mean struggling to pick up a child. And for anyone, it can mean living with frustration, discomfort, and limited mobility every single day.

 

At our office, Dr. Mateo provides safe and effective shoulder pain relief in Lexington. His goal is to not only reduce your pain but also restore function so you can get back to the activities you love.

 

Common Causes of Shoulder Pain

 

The shoulder is one of the most complex joints in the body, which makes it more vulnerable to injury and strain. Some of the most common causes of shoulder pain include: 

​

• Rotator cuff injuries or tears

• Sports injuries from repetitive throwing, lifting, or overhead movements

• Tendonitis or bursitis

• Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)

• Arthritis and degeneration

• Postural strain from sitting or working long hours

• Pinched nerves in the neck or upper back

 

When left untreated, shoulder pain can worsen over time and even lead to long-term mobility problems.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain is often connected to problems in the spine, posture, or surrounding muscles. By addressing the root cause—not just the symptoms—chiropractic care provides lasting relief.

​

With gentle chiropractic adjustments and supportive therapies, Dr. Mateo helps:

​

• Reduce inflammation and pain in the shoulder joint

• Improve mobility and flexibility

• Correct postural imbalances that contribute to shoulder strain

• Relieve pressure from nerves in the neck and upper back

For many patients, chiropractic care not only relieves pain but also prevents future flare-ups and helps the shoulder function more effectively.
