Shoulder Pain Care in Evansville, IN
Pain with reaching, lifting, or sleeping can disrupt your daily routine. At Lobacz Chiropractic in Evansville, Indiana, we evaluate your shoulder, neck, upper back, and shoulder-blade movement to help identify the likely source.
Dr. Andrew Lobacz explains your findings and treatment options before care begins.
Shoulder Symptoms and Conditions We Evaluate
Common concerns include pain when raising your arm, discomfort lying on the affected side, difficulty reaching behind your back, stiffness, and weakness with lifting.
Rotator Cuff and Tendon Problems
Rotator cuff irritation, tendinopathy, and tears may cause pain with reaching, rotation, or sleep. The type and severity of the problem matter: a significant injury after trauma may require imaging or orthopedic evaluation.
Shoulder Impingement
Irritated tissues around the rotator cuff may produce pain during a particular part of an overhead movement. Care may address shoulder mobility, shoulder-blade mechanics, and gradual strengthening. This peer-reviewed review discusses contributing movement factors in certain impingement patterns.
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, causes substantial stiffness and may make dressing, washing your hair, or reaching behind you difficult. Examination helps determine the severity and whether conservative care is appropriate.
Non-Surgical Shoulder Pain Treatment Options
JointWave Shockwave Therapy
Direct shockwave therapy delivers targeted acoustic energy to selected soft tissues. We may consider it when chronic tendon or soft-tissue problems are part of your findings. Lobacz Chiropractic is an exclusive JointWave provider.
MLS Laser Therapy
MLS laser therapy uses focused light energy and may be included alongside hands-on care and movement recommendations to support comfort and recovery.
Chiropractic Care and Movement Guidance
When appropriate, chiropractic care addresses related restrictions in the neck, upper back, ribs, or shoulder region. Recommendations may include gentle mobility, soft-tissue care, shoulder-blade control, activity modification, and strength guidance suited to your symptoms.
Your First Shoulder Evaluation
We discuss when your symptoms began, what makes them worse, previous care, and your goals. The examination may assess active and passive motion, strength, rotator cuff function, shoulder-blade movement, and neck involvement.
If imaging or an orthopedic referral appears appropriate, we will explain the next step.
Common Shoulder Pain Questions
Why does my shoulder hurt at night?
Rotator cuff irritation, stiffness, and other shoulder conditions can make lying on the affected side painful. Persistent night pain deserves an evaluation to identify the likely cause.
Should I push through painful overhead movements?
Movement recommendations should respect the severity and irritability of your condition. We may recommend temporarily modifying aggravating activities and gradually restoring comfortable movement.
When to Seek Additional Medical Care
Arrange an evaluation when pain repeatedly returns, limits daily activities, or reduces your motion. Significant trauma, deformity, sudden severe weakness, or fever with a painful swollen joint requires prompt medical care. Chest pain or difficulty breathing requires urgent medical attention.
