Rotator Cuff Injuries

Your rotator cuff is comprised of the muscles and tendons surrounding your shoulder joint. Sometimes, the rotator cuff can become torn or injured, due to repetitive overhead motions performed in sports (such as tennis) or jobs (such as carpentry.) Those who experience rotator cuff injuries or “torn shoulders” generally report a dull ache deep in their shoulder, arm weakness, difficulty reaching behind their backs, and disturbed sleep due to pain. At Ottawa Health Group, our natural and non-invasive methods can help relieve your shoulder pain and heal your rotator cuff injury. 

While rotator cuff injuries sometimes require surgery, Chiropractic, physiotherapy, or massage therapy should be considered as the primary treatments for this condition.

At Ottawa Health Group, we will conduct a physical evaluation and diagnostic tests to determine if you do indeed have a rotator cuff tear, and we will design a personalized treatment plan based on the needs of your diagnosis.

Find relief through chiropractic, massage, and physiotherapy:

Our treatments are a natural, easy, and comfortable way to find relief for shoulder pain, without the need for harmful drugs or invasive surgery. Our Ottawa and Kanata, ON chiropractors, massage therapists, and physiotherapists have treated a number of conditions resulting in shoulder pain, with patients finding improvement and relief after just a few short sessions – and sometimes less!

Our chiropractors, massage therapists, and physiotherapists are movement experts, trained to pinpoint the cause of your pain through a variety of diagnostic techniques. During your evaluation, we will examine your range of motion, strength, coordination, your medical history, joint mobility, and mechanics of your joint motion. 

Once we have established the cause of your shoulder pain, we can create a specialized combination of chiropractic, massage, and physiotherapy methods to manage and relieve your pain. Gentle manual therapy helps to restore normal joint movement, ease soft tissue restrictions, and promote circulation, while specific therapeutic exercises restore strength, and the correct sequence of muscle activation around the shoulder joint. Finally, we teach you techniques to enhance your strength and to prevent the recurrence of future shoulder problems.

Don’t let your shoulder pain limit your physical abilities any longer! Our Ottawa and Kanata, ON chiropractic, massage, and physiotherapy practices will get you the help you need to start living your normal life once again.
