SHOULDER & ROTATOR CUFF INJURIES
Most of us have experienced some discomfort in our shoulders, whether from overuse, poor posture, or an accident. For some, this might be a fleeting issue that resolves with rest or a change in activity, but for many, shoulder pain and rotator cuff injuries can become a chronic problem that significantly impacts daily life. At Oliver’s Battery Chiropractic, we frequently help patients suffering from shoulder and rotator cuff injuries, guiding them on the path to recovery and a pain-free life.

Why Do We Get Shoulder and Rotator Cuff Injuries?
Shoulder and rotator cuff injuries can happen for a variety of reasons, ranging from acute injuries to long-term wear and tear. These often result from activities that involve repetitive overhead motions, poor posture, or sudden trauma, such as lifting a heavy object incorrectly or a sports-related accident. It’s our role as Chiropractors to assess your symptoms, conduct the necessary tests, and determine the best approach to treatment.
Most of the shoulder injuries we treat at Oliver’s Battery Chiropractic are related to the rotator cuff, a group of muscles and tendons that stabilise the shoulder joint. The rotator cuff muscles are essential for a wide range of motions, and when they become strained or injured, it can cause pain and limit movement. Symptoms can range from dull aches to sharp, stabbing pain, often made worse by certain activities like reaching overhead or lifting.
Rotator cuff injuries can be broadly classified into tendonitis, tears, or impingement syndrome. Tendonitis occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff become inflamed due to overuse. A torn rotator cuff is a more severe injury where the tendon is torn, either partially or completely. Impingement syndrome occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff become pinched, causing pain and inflammation.
Most patients experiencing a rotator cuff issue will experience referral of pain to the outside of the upper arm. This can be tender to touch and often gives the feeling that it is the arm itself causing the pain rather than the shoulder.

The Role of Chiropractic in Treating Shoulder and Rotator Cuff Injuries
At Oliver's Battery Chiropractic, we take a holistic approach to treating shoulder and rotator cuff injuries. Our Chiropractors will conduct a full assessment to determine the underlying shoulder pain causes and create a personalised treatment plan. The first priority is to rule out serious conditions, such as fractures or dislocations, before focusing on rehabilitating the muscles, joints, and tendons involved.
Treatment may include spinal manipulation, mobilisation, stretching, soft tissue work, and specific shoulder pain exercises to strengthen the muscles around the shoulder. By targeting the root cause of the problem, we aim to reduce inflammation, improve flexibility, and restore function to the shoulder joint. Our goal is to help patients recover without the need for invasive procedures or long-term reliance on pain medication.
