Unfortunately, with this flexibility comes greater vulnerability. The shoulder has many moving parts that can be injured. Here are some of the most common triggers:
- Lifting something awkwardly
- Taking part in sport
- A trip or fall

If You’re Currently Living With Shoulder Pain, Here’s 7 Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should
- You hoped it would go away on its own, but it didn’t.
- You saw a doctor who prescribed rest and painkillers, but the pills didn’t help, and as soon as they wore off, the shoulder pain struck again.
- A family member or friend told you that everybody gets shoulder pain as they get older, so you just accepted it.
- You sought help from other healthcare professionals or a physio in the past, but nothing they said or did seemed to help.
- You tried using things like heat pads or TENS, but they did nothing to alleviate the pain.
- You thought resting would help because your shoulder pain was so bad, but it still irritates you daily.
- You decided to get a few massages, hoping they would fix the pain, but they only felt nice and relaxing and didn’t provide long-term relief.
Other Associated Issues with Shoulder Pain:
Neck and Shoulder Pain
Discover the intricate connection between neck and shoulder pain. Poor posture often triggers muscle imbalances and tension, affecting both areas. Additionally, shoulder impingement, bursitis, and tendonitis contribute to discomfort.
Rest assured, our experienced practitioners at VITAL Health diagnose and treat shoulder and neck pain with a variety of techniques for effective relief. If you’re experiencing neck and shoulder pain, reach out to our clinic to explore your options for fast and effective relief.
Shoulder and Arm Pain
Uncover the diverse causes of shoulder and arm pain, ranging from acute injuries to chronic conditions.
Among the most common culprits is a rotator cuff tear. This group of muscles and tendons surrounding the shoulder joint is vital for stability. Injuries can result from repetitive overhead activities or sudden trauma, such as a fall.
Another prevalent cause is shoulder impingement syndrome, where the tendons of the rotator cuff become pinched or compressed between the shoulder joint bones, leading to pain, inflammation, and limited mobility.
Shoulder and arm pain may also stem from conditions like tendinitis, bursitis, frozen shoulder, and arthritis, all of which can cause discomfort, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

“My journey with VITAL Health over the past 8 weeks has been nothing short of life-changing.
After weeks of dedication and care from the team, I’ve not just overcome my shoulder pain that held me back but I’m now playing 18 holes!

“It sounds silly but it’s totally changed my life,
I have been suffering with knee problems since 2017 and I got to the stage where my consultant told me I needed a knee replacement.I went online and found you, and I’m so glad I did because Lauren prevented me from having knee surgery and the difference is amazing…
I couldn’t do simple things like go to the shop on my own, or walk my dogs. I was scared my knees were going to give way. I can now walk both my dogs on my own and for a couple of miles now, which probably doesn’t sound much, but to me is amazing!”

“I had been suffering with lower back pain on one side for over 10 years… I had an operation on my foot which meant I was required to wear a boot, however once I no longer had to wear the boot, nobody checked to see how this affected my back and I slowly started to get this uncomfortable pain…
I felt really slow and old. I was waking up 2-3 times in the night from being in pain. Whenever I moved in bed the pain was just horrendous, I was waking up in tears.
Since coming to VITAL Health I am no longer in pain and now sleeping through the night without pain which has made a massive difference!”

“I actually look forward to coming here. The treatments feel so natural, and everyone here genuinely wants to help. It’s been a complete game-changer for me
I had continual neck and back pain. I tried everything, but nothing gave me more than temporary relief. I was desperate and willing to try anything at this point. I came in quite skeptical as I’d already tried so much but the results were incredible…
I’m now pain-free and that feels like an absolute revelation!
I can spend all day gardening again , something I thought I might never be able to do. I really believed this pain was going to be my life forever, but it’s not anymore, and that feels fabulous.”
