Osteopath for Shoulder Pain in NDG, Montreal
Shoulder pain can make everyday movements difficult, from reaching overhead and getting dressed to working, training or sleeping comfortably. At Osteopathy NDG, osteopathic care focuses on identifying the mechanical factors that may be contributing to your shoulder discomfort and restricted movement.
Shoulder Pain and Osteopathy
Shoulder discomfort may be related to the muscles, joints and surrounding tissues of the shoulder, but it can also be influenced by the neck, upper back, ribs or shoulder blade.
During an osteopathic consultation, the goal is to assess how these different areas move together and identify restrictions that may be placing additional stress on the shoulder.
Common situations that may benefit from an osteopathic assessment include:
-
Rotator cuff-related shoulder pain
-
Shoulder stiffness and reduced mobility
-
Pain when raising the arm
-
Acromioclavicular (AC) joint discomfort
-
Muscular tension around the shoulder blade
-
Sports-related shoulder pain
-
Repetitive strain from work or training
-
Shoulder discomfort associated with neck or upper-back tension
A Personalized Approach to Shoulder Pain
Your consultation begins with a detailed discussion of your symptoms, activities and movements that increase or decrease your discomfort.
The assessment may include the shoulder, cervical spine, thoracic spine, ribs and shoulder blade to better understand the mechanical pattern associated with your pain.
Osteopathic techniques are then adapted to your presentation and may focus on improving mobility, reducing excessive muscular tension and helping restore more comfortable movement.
Exercises or movement advice may also be suggested when appropriate to help maintain the improvements achieved during the consultation.
Shoulder Pain From Sports or Work
Shoulder pain is common in people who perform repetitive movements, work with their arms elevated or participate in sports involving pushing, pulling, throwing or weight training.
An osteopathic assessment can help determine whether restrictions in the shoulder, scapula, upper back or neck may be contributing to the problem.
