Integrative Care

Why Does Your Shoulder Hurt?

Shoulder pain is unbearable and limits your range of motion. Traditional treatment options can be invasive and only provide temporary relief. Lasting shoulder pain relief is available with a new treatment option only offered at LifeWorks.

Common causes of shoulder pain include: Rotator cuff tears or tendonitis, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), bursitis, arthritis, and impingement syndrome. Many stem from overuse, injury, or age-related wear.

of people will experience shoulder pain at some point in their lives—and many suffer for years without proper treatment

Why conventional treatments fall short: Massage, injections, and even surgery often fail to address the root cause. Our integrative approach corrects the underlying problem so you can get lasting relief.

Shoulder Pain Questions Answered

We treat all common causes of shoulder pain including: rotator cuff tears and tendonitis, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), bursitis, impingement syndrome, and arthritis. Whether your pain is dull and achy or sharp and severe, whether it's difficult to lift your shoulder or perform everyday activities—our treatment works for a variety of types of shoulder pain.

Many patients come to us after experiencing poor results from massage, injections, therapy, and even surgery. The problem? These approaches often treat symptoms, not the root cause. Our integrative approach is different—we combine multiple therapies (PT, chiropractic, regenerative injections) to address the underlying problem, not just mask the pain.

Yes! Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) responds well to our integrative approach. While frozen shoulder can take time to fully resolve, our combination of physical therapy, chiropractic care, and advanced treatments can significantly speed recovery and restore range of motion faster than conventional approaches alone.

Many of our services are covered by insurance, including BCBS, United, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, and Medicare. Some regenerative therapies may not be covered. We'll verify your coverage during your evaluation so you know exactly what to expect. We also offer flexible payment plans.

Many patients notice improvement within the first few weeks of treatment. However, shoulder conditions like rotator cuff injuries and frozen shoulder take time to fully heal. During your evaluation, we'll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific condition. Our goal is lasting relief—not just quick fixes.
