Shoulder Pain Treatment in Burien, WA
Restoring Comfort, Mobility, and Strength Naturally
The shoulders are among the most flexible joints in the human body, giving us the ability to lift, throw, push, and carry. However, this wide range of motion also makes them vulnerable to injury, overuse, and misalignment. Shoulder pain can disrupt simple daily activities, from reaching overhead to sleeping comfortably, and may even radiate into the neck, arms, or back.
At Burien Wellness, we understand how frustrating shoulder pain can be. Using Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®), corrective spinal care, and customized exercise programs, we help patients in Burien, WA, regain mobility and strength without relying on invasive procedures. Because “You Were Born To Be Healthy.”

Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain can be the result of acute injury, chronic wear and tear, or spinal misalignment. Some of the most common causes include:
- Rotator Cuff Injuries – Strains, tears, or overuse of the muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder.
- Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) – Pain and stiffness that gradually worsen, often following injury or periods of immobility.
- Bursitis – Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the joint, often caused by repetitive overhead motion.
- Tendonitis – Irritation of the shoulder tendons, frequently seen in athletes or workers with repetitive arm movements.
- Shoulder Impingement – When tendons are pinched between bones, causing sharp pain when lifting the arm.
- Arthritis – Osteoarthritis can lead to stiffness, swelling, and reduced range of motion in the shoulder joint.
- Poor Posture & Spinal Misalignment – Rounded shoulders and forward head posture increase strain on the shoulder joints.
How We Treat Shoulder Pain
Comprehensive Evaluation & Imaging
We begin with a detailed assessment and may use digital X-rays to examine spinal alignment and joint health. Many shoulder issues are linked to postural distortions in the neck or upper back. Identifying the root cause allows us to create a personalized care plan.
Specific Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle adjustments to the spine, neck, and shoulders restore proper alignment, reduce nerve pressure, and improve mobility. Correcting posture not only relieves current pain but also prevents recurring shoulder issues.
Corrective Spinal Traction
Using CBP® corrective care, we help realign the spine and shoulders to reduce abnormal stress on muscles and joints. This leads to long-term improvements in posture and shoulder function.
Customized Therapeutic Exercises
We design targeted stretches and strengthening routines to stabilize the shoulder joint, improve flexibility, and restore balanced muscle support. Home exercise programs are tailored to each patient’s needs.
