Shoulder pain can turn everyday tasks—like lifting a grocery bag or finding a comfortable sleeping position—into a frustrating challenge. Because the shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, it’s also one of the most vulnerable to injury and strain. At Yalich Clinic in Glen Burnie, we specialize in diagnosing the root cause of your discomfort and creating personalized physical therapy and chiropractic treatment plans to get you moving again—pain-free.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
The shoulder’s incredible range of motion comes from its ball-and-socket structure, but that mobility also leaves it open to many potential problems, such as:
- Rotator cuff injuries – Tears or inflammation in the muscles and tendons that stabilize the joint
- Tendinitis – Irritation and swelling of the tendons from overuse or repetitive motions
- Arthritis – Wear-and-tear damage causing stiffness and reduced mobility
- Cartilage injuries – Torn cartilage that causes catching, grinding, or instability
- Poor posture – Slouching or rounded shoulders that create muscle imbalances over time
Even simple daily activities—manual labor, carrying heavy objects, or sleeping in an awkward position—can trigger or worsen these conditions.
How Physical Therapy Can Help
Our team designs treatment plans focused on reducing pain, restoring range of motion, and strengthening the muscles that support your shoulder joint. Depending on your condition, your program may include:
- Gentle joint mobilization to improve movement and reduce stiffness
- Strengthening exercises for the rotator cuff and surrounding muscles
- Postural corrections to relieve stress on the shoulder
- Therapeutic stretches to restore flexibility
- At-home exercise routines to keep your progress on track
- Rehabilitative modalities such as ultrasound or electrical stimulation to reduce inflammation and promote healing
- Cold laser therapy to accelerate tissue repair, decrease inflammation, and relieve pain without the need for injections or surgery
- Dry needling, a targeted technique that releases painful muscle trigger points and helps disrupt chronic pain cycles
We also incorporate state-of-the-art technology and hands-on chiropractic care to enhance your recovery—without relying on drugs or surgery.
