Shoulder pain affects millions of people every year and often leads to frustration, loss of mobility, and declining quality of life. At McNamara Chiropractic Center, Dr. Carol McNamara provides comprehensive shoulder pain treatment for patients in Lighthouse Point and surrounding South Florida communities.
Located at 3320 N. Federal Highway, Lighthouse Point, FL 33064, our clinic focuses on evidence-based chiropractic care that restores movement, reduces pain, and prevents shoulder problems from becoming chronic.
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body — which also makes it one of the most vulnerable. When shoulder dysfunction goes untreated, patients often develop compensation patterns that lead to neck pain, upper back pain, and even nerve irritation down the arm.
The shoulder is not a single joint — it’s a complex system of joints, muscles, tendons, and nerves working together. When one part fails, the entire system suffers.
Common reasons shoulder pain becomes chronic include:
If only the pain is treated — and not the cause — symptoms almost always return.
Dr. Carol McNamara takes a full-body, movement-based approach to shoulder pain treatment.
Your evaluation includes:
Many shoulder conditions are directly linked to dysfunction in the cervical or thoracic spine. Addressing only the shoulder — without correcting spinal involvement — often leads to incomplete recovery.
Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper motion to restricted joints, reduce nerve irritation, and allow shoulder muscles to function correctly again.
Soft tissue therapy may be used to reduce inflammation, break down adhesions, and prevent scar tissue from limiting recovery.
When appropriate, Dr. McNamara may integrate supportive therapies to accelerate healing and improve comfort.
Digital Imaging (When Needed)
X-rays may be recommended if symptoms suggest joint degeneration, instability, or disc-related involvement such as disc herniation.
Movement & Postural Analysis
Poor posture and altered movement patterns often overload the shoulder and upper spine, leading to recurring pain.
Supportive Modalities
Therapies may be used to calm inflammation and muscle tension so healing can occur more efficiently.
Dr. Carol McNamara treats a wide range of shoulder-related conditions, including:
Many patients with chronic shoulder pain also experience overlapping symptoms involving the neck, upper back, or nerve pathways. These connections are carefully evaluated to prevent long-term dysfunction.
