FAQ

Why has my shoulder pain for weeks or even shoulder pain for months failed to subside on its own?

Shoulder pain that lasts can be due to ongoing inflammation and changes in how you move. About 40 percent of people have shoulder pain for over a year. If you’ve had shoulder pain for 2 weeks or more, it’s time to see a doctor. They can help you figure out why you’re in pain and how to get better.

What does it mean if my shoulders constantly ache throughout the day?

Constant shoulder pain might mean you have chronic impingement or tendinopathy. Many people say their shoulders hurt all the time, which can mean they lack joint stability. We use special techniques to help your shoulders move better and reduce pain.

How can I tell if I have an over extended shoulder or suffered from shoulder overextension?

An over extended shoulder happens when you stretch or tear the ligaments or labrum. This can cause pain for weeks. Our four-week plan starts by checking for these injuries to prevent long-term problems.

Why is recurring shoulder pain so common even after I rest?

Almost half of all shoulder pain comes back because resting alone isn’t enough. If your shoulders are sore all the time, your muscles might be protecting the joint. We help you move from resting to strengthening to get rid of the pain and let you live your life fully.

Should I be concerned about constant left shoulder pain, or constant shoulder pain left side?

Left shoulder pain is often due to posture or repetitive actions. But, we always check for safety. If the pain is sharp or deep, or if you have trouble breathing, see a doctor right away. For mechanical pain, our methods can help ease the discomfort and balance your body.
