Shoulder Pain Treatment
Shoulder pain can be driven by load management, cuff capacity, and movement control through the shoulder blade and thoracic spine.
We commonly pair this condition-focused care with targeted services like Physical Therapy and Dry Needling, then progress you at the location that is most convenient for your schedule.
Common Causes
- Rapid overhead training increases
- Rotator cuff overload
- Poor scapular and thoracic control under load
How PT Helps
- Improves cuff strength and scapular mechanics
- Reduces painful sensitivity with graded loading
- Restores confidence for overhead movement and sport
Our Approach at Complex
- Shoulder function testing across mobility and force output
- Manual treatment + progressive strengthening
- Sport-specific progression for overhead athletes
First Visit
- Provocative movement testing and symptom mapping
- Baseline shoulder strength and range measurements
