Shoulder Pain Relief
When Reaching Overhead Hurts
Shoulder pain makes everyday things harder than they should be. Putting dishes away on the top shelf, reaching into the back seat, fastening a seatbelt, or sleeping on that side can all bring on a sharp pinch or a deep ache.
Your shoulder depends on your neck, upper back, and shoulder blade moving well together. When one part is stiff, or the muscles around the rotator cuff are irritated or overworked, the shoulder can become sore and limited. Dr. Kamego examines your shoulder along with your neck and upper back, then builds a plan that may include gentle adjustments, cold laser therapy, massage, and simple exercises.
Some shoulder problems, like a full rotator cuff tear or a dislocation, need an orthopedic specialist. If your exam points that way, Dr. Kamego will tell you.

ProAdjuster Soft Tissue Protocols
Gentle Care for the Muscles Around Your Shoulder
Shoulder pain isn’t always just the joint. Tight muscles and tendons around the shoulder and upper back often play a part. Along with its spinal settings, the ProAdjuster has dedicated soft tissue protocols, so Dr. Kamego can use the same gentle, computer-guided tapping on the tissue around your shoulder when your exam shows it could help.
Results vary from person to person. Dr. Kamego will let you know what he recommends after your exam.
