Shoulder Pain
Are You a Sportsperson or an Active Individual Experiencing Limitations Due to Shoulder Pain?
A Personal Message from Dr. Krystal Drwencke DC
- Are you concerned about persistent shoulder pain and stiffness, even after ample rest?
- Do you feel frustrated that conventional remedies such as pain medications, massages, or chiropractic treatments have failed to provide relief, and instead, your shoulder pain has intensified?
- Are you finding it difficult to sleep comfortably due to the discomfort or pain caused by your preferred sleeping position?
- Are you an individual who prioritizes your well-being and seeks a long-lasting solution to lead an active lifestyle free from debilitating pain?
It is a prevalent misconception to assume that shoulder pain is insignificant and will naturally disappear over time.
Similarly, it is common to attribute it to “sleeping in an awkward position” or consider it a universal experience that everyone encounters at some stage in their lives.
If you find yourself in this situation, rest assured that you are not alone. We frequently encounter individuals who share these sentiments.
Indeed, shoulder pain among runners and athletes is a widespread issue that we frequently encounter in our clinic.
Before Seeking Treatment at Ascent Sports Rehab & Performance, a Significant Number of Our Patients Experiencing Shoulder Pain Are Advised With the Following:
- Simply "rest" or take a break from exercising, and the pain will naturally subside (only to find themselves still suffering months later).
- Shoulder pain is an inevitable consequence of aging, and one must learn to tolerate it.
- Taking medication is sufficient to enable movement and exercise without limitations for the remainder of one's life.
- Surgery and injections are the sole solutions available to address the issue.
The Reality About Shoulder Pain Is:
- Resting alone doesn't bring about significant changes. While you may experience temporary relief, once you resume physical activity, the shoulder pain is likely to persist (you've probably already experienced this!).
- Shoulder pain and stiffness should not be considered a normal part of the aging process.
- Pain medications can be addictive, and dangerous, and potentially lead to other health issues.
- Surgery and injections are not the exclusive options available. They may be the only choices your surgeon presents, but there are alternative approaches to consider.

- Attempting a stretching routine suggested by a friend that worked for them but doesn’t yield the same results for you.
- Seeking assistance from additional healthcare professionals or even different chiropractors, only to find that their advice or treatments provide no relief.
- Following YouTube “experts” recommend specific exercises, only to find that they exacerbate the pain.
- Trying out a yoga or pilates class, but finding that your pain hinders your progress and leaves you feeling worse.
All the while, the doctor’s advice remains centered around rest and taking medication.
When confronted with a serious issue like back pain and stiffness, selecting the right healthcare provider is crucial.
Making the wrong choice could result in unnecessary and risky surgery or reliance on addictive painkillers for the rest of your life. It is essential to prioritize the “least invasive” and most natural treatment option to effectively address your back pain and stiffness, preventing its recurrence.
To achieve this, it is vital to work with a provider who goes beyond merely treating the pain and is dedicated to identifying the underlying causes of your condition.
That is when you can expect to obtain a permanent solution to your problems.
