TESTIMONIALS
I had lost use of my right arm following an illness that left me in bed for months. I was not willing to do treatment until my daughter forced me to go to therapy. After weeks in aqua therapy I regained some range of motion however the physical therapist said that I had frozen shoulder. I sought treatment with Dr. Lee and Dr. Lam. They were able to determine that the nerves in my neck were not function properly and that was causing my shoulder not to move properly. Adjustment to my neck and exercises in my neck and arm I now have no pain and I have full use of my arm. – Mary age 65
What causes shoulder pain?
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body. The joint includes four tendons that hold muscle to bone. Together, these four “rotator cuff” tendons stabilize the upper arm bone to the shoulder socket and allow a wide range of motion in the shoulder. The shoulder joint is also controlled by muscles and nerves in the neck. Often times the injury is not localized to just one area.
