Whether you're serving a volleyball at Mission Beach, lifting weights at the gym, or just

At The Bridge Chiropractic in Clairemont, we specialize in helping people recover from shoulder injuries and chronic discomfort with a comprehensive, hands-on approach. Drawing from real patient success stories, we help restore mobility, reduce pain, and get you back to doing what you love.

🩺 What Causes Shoulder Pain?

The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body—but that freedom comes at a cost. It’s vulnerable to overuse, instability, and injury, especially in active individuals.

Common causes of shoulder pain include:

• Rotator cuff strains or tears

• Impingement syndrome (pinching of soft tissues during movement)

• Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)

• Shoulder instability or past dislocations

• Postural dysfunction from repetitive movement or desk work

• Referred pain from the neck or upper back

Many patients don’t realize their shoulder problem may be tied to spinal misalignment, muscle imbalances, or nerve interference—and that’s where chiropractic care stands out.

💬 A Real Recovery Story

One of our patients came in after months of nagging shoulder pain following a sports injury. They had trouble lifting their arm above shoulder height and had even stopped working out. After a thorough evaluation, we created a customized treatment plan combining chiropractic adjustments, muscle release, and rehab exercises.

Within a few weeks, their range of motion returned, pain levels dropped, and they were back to strength training—without limitation.

👐 Our Approach to Shoulder Recovery at The Bridge Chiropractic

Dr. Nate Beyerl takes a whole-body approach to shoulder pain, addressing not just the shoulder itself but how the spine, posture, and movement patterns contribute to dysfunction.

Here’s what you can expect:

✅ Chiropractic Adjustments

We check for and correct misalignments in the neck, upper back, and shoulders that affect movement and nerve communication. Proper spinal and joint function is essential for shoulder recovery.

💆 Soft Tissue Release

Tight or overactive muscles like the upper traps, pecs, deltoids, or rotator cuff can pull the shoulder out of balance. We use focused muscle work and release techniques to restore mobility and reduce inflammation.

🤸 Customized Exercises

Rehab exercises improve stability, strength, and movement control. We guide you through stretches and mobility drills you can do at home to support your recovery and prevent flare-ups.

🧠 Functional Assessment

We look at how you move—at the gym, in sports, or at work—and help retrain better movement habits so your shoulder stays healthy long-term.
