Three Causes of Shoulder Pain Your Doctor, Physical Therapist, and Chiropractor May Have Missed

If you’ve seen your doctor for shoulder pain they most likely only offered rest, pills, injections, or surgeries. All can help with symptoms without treating root causes. Traditional physical therapy will often only focus on healing and strengthening the injured muscle - ignoring other contributing factors and almost guaranteeing that the pain comes back when you get back to your normal activities.

What if I was to tell you there may be something causing your shoulder pain that your doctor hasn’t told you about?

In this weeks article we’ll be looking at three causes of shoulder pain that are commonly overlooked by your doctor, physical therapist, and chiropractor and will explain while your shoulder pain just won’t go away.
