Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
Physiotherapists at Caring Hands assess posture, muscle function, and joint movement to identify what may be contributing to pain. When needed, they collaborate with other practitioners such as chiropractors or massage therapists for comprehensive care.
- Rotator cuff injury or strain – often linked to repetitive movement or overhead activity
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) – gradual stiffness that limits mobility
- Bursitis or tendonitis – inflammation from overuse
- Arthritis or wear-and-tear changes – affecting joint alignment and comfort
- Postural tension – muscle tightness from desk work or imbalance

When to Seek Professional Care
Shoulder pain that lingers for more than a few weeks, limits arm movement, or causes sleep disturbance may benefit from professional assessment.
A physiotherapist or chiropractor can help determine whether the issue is muscular, joint-related, or nerve-based, and recommend an individualized plan.
Even mild shoulder stiffness can progress if left untreated — so early evaluation often leads to quicker recovery.
Evidence-Informed Treatments for Shoulder Pain in Calgary
Each shoulder pain treatment in Calgary plan is customized to the individual, often combining services like Shockwave Therapy, Acupuncture, or manual Physiotherapy techniques.
Physiotherapy for Shoulder Injury Recovery
Physiotherapy sessions focus on restoring shoulder strength, mobility, and stability. Treatments may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and postural correction. Over time, these approaches can support smoother movement and help prevent recurrence.
📍 [Clinician input: suggest 1–2 common shoulder rehab exercises]
Chiropractic Care to Support Shoulder and Neck Alignment
Chiropractic techniques may help relieve tension in the spine and shoulder girdle. Gentle joint mobilization and alignment adjustments are used to restore normal motion and reduce strain.
Results vary, and your chiropractor will recommend care only if it’s appropriate for your condition.
Shockwave Therapy for Chronic Tendon Pain
Shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive technique that uses acoustic waves to stimulate tissue healing. It is often used for chronic tendon irritation, calcific shoulder pain, or slow-healing injuries. When integrated with physiotherapy, it may support tissue repair and mobility improvement.
Acupuncture for Shoulder Tension and Circulation
Acupuncture may help reduce muscle tightness and promote circulation. Licensed practitioners at Caring Hands use sterile, single-use needles and evidence-informed methods to support natural recovery and relaxation.
Massage Therapy for Shoulder Flexibility and Relaxation
Massage therapy can complement physiotherapy by easing muscle stiffness and supporting posture awareness. Deep tissue or therapeutic techniques may help release tightness and improve comfort during daily activities.

How to Support Shoulder Recovery at Home
Recovery often continues between clinic sessions.
Your physiotherapist may recommend gentle range-of-motion stretches, posture adjustments, or home exercises to maintain flexibility and strength.
Even small changes — like adjusting desk height or sleeping position — can make a big difference over time.
When Conservative Care Isn’t Enough
Some shoulder injuries take longer to recover or may require multiple approaches.
If your progress plateaus, your physiotherapist can coordinate additional care such as chiropractic or shockwave therapy.
Early reassessment helps prevent chronic pain and supports long-term results.
