Reasons Why Shoulder Pain Doesn't Heal

Causes of Shoulder Pain

1. Injury from Overloading During Strength Training

Shoulder pain often occurs during strength training, especially in personal training sessions.
If you feel discomfort, mild pain, or tightness in your shoulder during exercise, ignoring these signs may lead to serious injuries. The primary issue arises when movements force a range of motion beyond your natural capability, placing additional stress on muscles and joints.
If you experience any discomfort or pain, immediately consult your trainer. Leaving shoulder pain untreated often leads to chronic conditions that are difficult to manage. Proper form and controlled loads are essential to prevent and reduce pain. Early intervention is the key to avoiding worsening symptoms.

2. Sleeping on Your Shoulder

Sleeping on your side with pressure on your shoulder can result in excessive stress on the shoulder joint. The shoulder joint is highly mobile but relies on various ligaments and muscles for stability, making it sensitive to external pressure.

This position can cause strain on the shoulder joint capsule and rotator cuff, restricting blood flow, leading to muscle tension, inflammation, and pain.
Using an unsuitable mattress or pillow height further increases the burden on the shoulder joint. Chronic discomfort may progress to long-lasting pain, especially at night. Opt for a soft pillow or cushion to distribute body pressure, and consider sleeping on your back or using support items to reduce strain.

 

3. Muscle Weakness

Shoulder pain can also result from muscle weakness, especially in the rotator cuff muscles (subscapularis, teres minor, supraspinatus, and infraspinatus). When these muscles weaken, the shoulder joint can slightly misalign, disrupting its natural movement and increasing strain on the rotator cuff and joint capsule.

Muscle weakness can lead to poor coordination between the shoulder blade and the humerus, making everyday movements or exercise painful. Over time, reduced muscle strength can limit the shoulder’s range of motion and overall functionality.

4. Constantly Elevated Shoulders

 

Sustained shoulder elevation, often seen during desk work, can cause over-tightened muscles around the shoulders, locking the joint in an incorrect position. This puts additional strain on the muscles and ligaments required for shoulder movement, leading to inflammation and pain.
Prolonged elevation may also cause tension in the neck muscles (upper trapezius and levator scapulae), disrupting the connection between the neck and shoulder blade. This not only exacerbates chronic pain but can also result in poor posture.

5. Sports and Physical Labor

Shoulder pain frequently stems from sports injuries or overuse. Contact sports like rugby or soccer can cause shoulder damage from collisions or falls. Similarly, repetitive use in tennis or baseball may stress the rotator cuff and ligaments, leading to inflammation.

Overuse syndrome is also common in physically demanding jobs such as construction, where lifting heavy objects or repeated shoulder movements leave tissues unable to recover fully, causing chronic pain or functional impairment. Without rest, these conditions can become long-lasting and difficult to treat.

Treatment Approaches for Shoulder Pain 

Our approach combines three key techniques

Deep Muscle Acupunctur

  • Targets deep-seated muscles to relieve tension unreachable by surface massage.
     
  • Especially effective for chronic pain or restricted mobility.

Superficial Layer Treatmen

  • Stimulates inflammation-relieving acupoints to enhance blood flow and gradually restore shoulder alignment.
     
  • Suitable for those with intense pain or limited range of motion.

Shoulder Blade-Focused Therapy

  •  

・Combines acupuncture and chiropractic techniques to improve shoulder blade movement, relieving pain and enhancing arm and neck mobility.

Key Points in Shoulder Pain Treatment

Key Points in Shoulder Pain Treatment

Shoulder pain is often influenced by imbalances in other parts of the body, such as the neck, back, or pelvis misalignment. For example, prolonged poor neck mobility can place excessive strain on the shoulders, making pain difficult to alleviate.
In such cases, balancing the entire body, including the neck, is essential for addressing shoulder pain at its root.

Our treatments focus on assessing the overall body movement and balance while prioritizing shoulder care. This holistic approach allows us to address not only the shoulder pain but also any associated discomfort in other areas of the body.


Treatment Duration

The duration of treatment for shoulder pain typically ranges from 1 to 8 sessions (spanning from 1 day to 6 months).
However, the required number of sessions and time frame varies depending on the severity of the symptoms and the individual’s physical condition.

During the initial consultation, we carefully evaluate your condition and propose the optimal plan tailored to your needs.
