Chiro for shoulder pain

Shoulder pain comes in different forms, from a nagging ache to an intense, mobility-limiting sensation.

It can localise in your shoulder or radiate to the arm or neck, affecting your overall range of motion.

Whether it’s due to overuse, strains, or more complex conditions, identifying the root cause is key to finding relief.

We’re here to help you regain comfort and functionality, so you can get back to doing what you love.

Contact us today to schedule a consultation and take that crucial first step towards effective management and recovery from shoulder pain.

Symptoms of shoulder pain

Persistent aching or dull pain: This is often localised in and around the shoulder joint, and may extend towards the neck or down the arm.
Sharp, intense pain: This might be experienced during certain movements or activities, suggesting potential damage or strain to the muscles or tendons.
Reduced range of motion: Difficulty or discomfort when moving the shoulder, lifting objects, or performing regular activities.
Stiffness: This could make it hard to move the shoulder and limit your daily activities.
Swelling and redness: An inflamed shoulder joint may appear swollen or red, indicating a potential injury or condition such as arthritis.
Weakness: Difficulty in lifting objects or performing activities

Common causes of shoulder pain

Rotator cuff injuries: These are common among people who frequently perform overhead motions in their jobs or sports.
Frozen shoulder: This condition restricts movement in the shoulder and tends to gradually worsen over time.
Osteoarthritis: The most common form of arthritis, it occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time.
Tendonitis: This is an inflammation or irritation of the tendons, often caused by repetitive, minor impact on the affected area.
Bursitis: An inflammation of the bursae, the small fluid-filled sacs that cushion the bones in your shoulder joint.
Dislocated or fractured shoulder: Traumatic injuries can cause immediate, severe shoulder pain.

Preventing and managing shoulder pain

Regular exercise: Strengthening the shoulder muscles and maintaining flexibility with regular exercise can help prevent many causes of shoulder pain.
Warm-up and cool-down: Always warm up before rigorous activity and allow your body to cool down afterwards to avoid straining the shoulder muscles.
Proper lifting techniques: Avoid lifting heavy items with just one arm or with a jerking motion.
Good posture: Maintain a good posture to prevent unnecessary strain on your shoulder muscles and joints.
Rest and recovery: Avoid overusing the shoulder joint and give it time to heal after an injury.
Physical therapy or chiropractic care: We can provide treatments designed to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote natural healing of the shoulder joint.

I have been seeing Dr Barry for a few years now. I started due to ongoing headaches/migraines which vastly improved after attending Karrinyup Wellness Centre. My husband now attends (he highly rates the massages) and our children have been seeing Dr Barry since they were born. He has assisted with injuries, illness, general growing pains and sleeplessness. Very happy with the attentive and friendly service (from all Chiros and front desk crew). We moved further away from the centre, but still make the small trek to visit due to being so happy with everything they offer.

Karrinyup Wellness is not just about spinal health. It helps us patients identify and address the causes and stressors that cause the misalignments as well as a myriad of other consequences. ( eg compromised immune systems) I don’t know where I would be physically and mentally without the care from Karrinyup Wellness over the last 20 or more years Thank you so much for the care. 😀

I have been to Karrinyup wellness Centre since 2018 on and off after injuries/pregnancies ect. Dr Shinae has miracle hands, she may look tiny but she is incredibly strong, knowledgeable and gives you a holistic insight into the cause of pain. After every appointment with Dr Shinae I walk out and feel so much 'looser', and my pain is back under control. After a couple appointments and I'm off any pain medication. Very family friendly clinic can not recommend and thank you enough!

🌟 Five-Star Review for Dr. Tash at Karrinyup Wellness Centre 🌟I can't recommend Dr. Tash at Karrinyup Wellness Centre enough! Her exceptional care and expertise have made a remarkable difference in my life.I initially sought Dr. Tash's help for my chronic migraines, and her treatments have been nothing short of life-changing. With her personalized approach and deep understanding of migraines, I've experienced significant relief and improved quality of life.What's even more impressive is that her treatments didn't stop at migraines. Dr. Tash's knowledge and dedication overflowed to address other health issues I was facing. She provided invaluable guidance on managing stress, helped me understand and reduce sugar consumption, and addressed the challenges I had with certain gym exercises.Thanks to her guidance and support, I now feel empowered and confident about my overall health and well-being. Dr. Tash's holistic approach and genuine concern for her patients have been truly exceptional.If you're looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable healthcare professional who goes above and beyond to help you achieve your health goals, Dr. Tash is the one you can trust.Thank you, Dr. Tash, for making a positive impact on my life! Your dedication to your patients is inspiring, and I'm grateful for the transformational journey you've taken me on. 🙏

Dr Shinae, one of the chiro’s at Karrinyup Wellness Centre has done wonders for the health of our family. She originally saw our 7 month old child who was a screamer in the car and within a couple of weeks, our child was much more comfortable and calm in the car seat. Dr Shinae then assisted me with my wrist pain - De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis which was a symptom of having a young Bub and breastfeeding. Within 6 weeks, I was out of my wrist braces and barely had any pain in my hands, ready to go back to work. Dr Shinae also specializes in the Chiro technique N.O.T. and has an incredible understanding of kinesiology which has aided in fast tracking her treatment and helping our family through any personal and mental issues we come across in our daily lives. When she is away, her brother Dr Scott is also incredible at all of the above too. We’re so happy with the care we’ve received from Dr Shinae and Dr Scott.

The chiropractors here are amazing. I've seen Shinae and Scott and they are both really well trained chiros who also incorporate kinesio testing into their treatment.The practice has its own X-ray facilities to identify spine curvature, posture, or other spinal abnormalities. They also offer naturopathy, kinesiology, and massage.For me, they are worth the 30min drive!

I use both chiropractic and naturopathic services at Karrinyup Wellness Centre. From the modern aesthetics of the treatment rooms to the friendly front desk staff, and the knowledgeable practitioners who tailor a holistic treatment plan to your needs this practice is a delight to visit. It is always easy to get an appointment with the availability of extended opening hours and pricing is fair. The range of services including in house X-ray and dispensary really make KWC a one stop shop for a holistic health approach.

My back and my entire body feels better than ever, since I started going to the Karrinyup Wellness Centre for regular chiropractic treatment. The chiropractic techniques used are far more superior than those used by other chiropractors in terms of effectiveness and comfort, based on my experience. It's also great that they have amazing Naturopaths and Massage therapists there too. So many talented people all in the same centre that will take care of all of your health needs in the most holistic way possible. Highly Recommened!

Dr Barry is amazing. I suffered for years with a slipping hiatal hernia that I didn’t even know what it was. I’ve tried so many things and did so many tests and he diagnosed me on the first time. He did fix it! And I am so grateful 🙏for that. I highly recommend him.

THE BEST CHIROPRACTIC AND WELLNESS CARE! I couldn’t recommend Dr Shinae and the team at Karrinyup Wellness Centre more highly. Dr Shinae helped me throughout my pregnancy and post pregnancy, as well as my newborn daughter. As any new Mumma would know, that new Mum stage is HARD and Dr Shinae helped heal both my body and mind and for that I will be forever grateful!I travel from Mandurah because Dr Shinae is worth her weight in gold, not only for her Chiropractic and Kinesiology skills, but because of her above and beyond patient care.

Nicky T.
