Conditions Causing Shoulder Pain
Easy to Injure, Complex to Treat
Shoulders are one of the most mobile joints in the body. Their structure primarily consists of soft tissues (e.g. muscles, ligaments, etc.). Shoulder pain can be the result of overuse, underlying conditions, or injury. When injuries occur, scar tissue quickly forms in the shoulder joint which can decrease mobility and increase pain. At Innovative Health, we have effective, drug-free, noninvasive treatment for shoulder pain.
We treat many common conditions related to shoulder pain:
- Sprains & strains
- Cervical radiculopathy (pinched nerve in the neck)
- Nerve entrapment, impingement, or compression
- Degenerative joint disease
- Bursitis
- Arthritis, Osteoarthritis
- Rotator cuff injuries & tears
- Frozen shoulder
- Labrum injuries & tears
- Dislocation
- Separated shoulder
- Repetitive strain injuries
- and many others
Don't Ignore Painful Shoulders
Like many other forms of discomfort, shoulder pain often begins as a mild annoyance. But if ignored, it can gradually worsen. What starts out as a small issue may develop into persistent, long-term pain. In some cases, it can lead to more serious complications. Over time, untreated conditions can contribute to degenerative changes that may ultimately require more invasive treatments, including surgery.
If the check engine light comes on in your car, do you ignore it and hope it goes away? Or do find and fix the problem? Pain is your body’s check engine light, signaling that something isn’t right.
We encourage patients to come in and treat minor pain before it turns more severe or becomes a chronic issue. We work to reduce inflammation, soften scar tissue, and restore joint mobility with noninvasive, drug-free treatments. Our ultimate goal is the same as yours – we want you to feel better so that you can live better.

Natural Treatment for Shoulders
Effective, Noninvasive, Drug-Free Care
Traditionally, the first line of treatment for shoulder pain is often ice, rest, and over-the-counter medications. If the pain persists, physical therapy and injections are usually up next. The last resort may be surgery.
Innovative Health offers different treatment options, including high intensity laser therapy, that can help to reduce inflammation, increase the blood supply, soften scar tissue, and promote healing. It’s all about giving your body the tools it needs to heal itself naturally, without drugs, needles, or surgery.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Had a massive rotator cuff injury that required surgery and extensive rehab. Dr. Colleen recommended laser treatment along side my physical therapy. I noticed significant improvement as soon as I started laser treatments and have been able to get full range of motion back. I highly recommend considering laser treatments as part of your rehabilitation process.”

Looking Beyond the Shoulder
Lasting relief comes from treating supporting tissues and systems.
When you are in pain, it’s a signal from your body that something isn’t functioning properly. In the case of shoulder pain, it’s especially important to look at the entire system of muscles, bones, nerves, ligaments, and joints.
For example, lifting your arm requires more than just the shoulder joint itself. The collar bone (clavicle) and shoulder blade (scapula) are also involved. If those bones are not moving properly, it can cause pressure and pain in the shoulder joint. That’s why it is so important to look beyond the shoulder to the supporting tissues and systems that surround it.
The doctors at Innovative Health will take a holistic approach to determine the true, root cause of your shoulder pain and develop a treatment plan to provide lasting pain relief.
