Do you experience shoulder pain and weakness with lifting and reaching overhead? You could have swimmer’s shoulder.
Our shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body. Due to its lack of stability, the shoulder joint is dependent on the rotator cuff muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis) for support.
Swimmer’s shoulder is sometimes referred to as thrower’s shoulder or shoulder impingement syndrome. It occurs due to repetitive overloading of the rotator cuffs muscles, resulting as pinching of the muscles with the surrounding skeletal structures.

Chiropractic treatments can help to manage shoulder impingement in a drug-free and effective manner. The initial phase of treatment would focus on pain management by restoring proper biomechanical function of the surrounding joints and musculature.
