Shoulder PAIN
Chiropractic care can be extremely beneficial for problems stemming from the shoulders.
About Shoulder pain
Chiropractors have been known to treat issues of the back and spine, including back pain and neck pain. However, chiropractic care can also be extremely beneficial for problems stemming from the shoulders and the rest of the upper extremities.
Most commonly we are able to deduce two common reasons for the shoulder pain that is purely stemming from a shoulder problem: the rotator cuff or the shoulder joint itself. Rotator cuff problems are historically more common than joint problems, where tendinous issues are the most common rotator cuff problem.
More specifically, here are common diagnoses related to both categories of shoulder pain:
Rotator cuff related problems | Bone / joint / capsule related problems |
|---|---|
Full tear or partial tear | AC or SC joint separation |
Small tear or tendinopathy | Bursitis / capsulitis / frozen shoulder |
Impingement syndrome | Labral tear |
Tendinitis | Fracture / dislocation |
However, an indirect cause of shoulder pain often stems from the neck. Some of these neck conditions include:

This treatment will establish motor patterns to help the patient learn how to correctly utilize their movement to help the body perform at its best. We will provide specific, individualized exercises to aid our patients in a swift recovery.
Although DNS is a reliable treatment, it is not commonly used by chiropractors or rehabilitation facilities in the area, however, Dr. Li specializes in this highly effective treatment program.
McKenzie Institute Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT)
This powerful treatment can make an extremely accurate diagnosis upon learning the patient’s pain points and complaints. It is often used in physical therapy and Dr. Li is happy to offer this specialized service in his Seattle chiropractic office.
Functional Movement Screen (FMS)
The FMS technique provides a movement screen that can quickly and accurately determine how the body moves. Movement patterns that have been with us for years can be assessed and Dr. Li can put a manageable and consistent plan into place that will train your body how to work and move properly.
Postural Restoration Institute (PRI)
This solution finds the asymmetries in the patient’s neurological, respiratory, circulatory, and muscular systems. With a significant focus on the body’s weaknesses during specific movements, we can determine a wellness plan that will benefit body alignment and symmetry, contributing greatly to body balance.
Adjustments to treat shoulder pain
Adjustments to the body can help support the body’s wellness goals and quickly reduce pain. Dr. Li practices many types of spinal manipulations that will get the body back to its intended state, allowing the spine to provide the best support possible.

I have been seeing Dr. Li on and off for over 2 years now. He is hands down the best doctor I have ever met. I play a fair bit of tennis and it is not uncommon to have chronic pain in my lower back, knee, or shoulder. Dr. Li has helped me overall the last couple years to reduce or completely get rid of these chronic issues. He is great at quickly diagnosing the real root cause of the pain, providing quick relief through adjustments, and then educating me on the underlying root cause, and then working with me on exercises and a plan to get rid of the pain permanently. As an example, when I first went to him, I was having a recurring pain in my knee and I really thought there was a problem in my joints. Dr. Li instead figured out the real root cause was related to my lower back not being strong enough resulting in putting excess pressure on my knee. Over the next few months, we worked on exercises to strengthen my core and posture, and the way I sit and walk completely changed over this time. A few months later, the knee pain was completely gone, and it hasn't come back in the last couple years. This is not an isolated example. and Dr. Li has done similar stuff to help me get rid of shoulder and lower back pain. I have referred several friends to him and they have all had similar great results. He truly cares about his patients and will motivate and push you to do the things required to live pain-free. I feel lucky to have found Dr. Li and would recommend him to anyone who wants to recover from injuries or get rid of chronic pain.
