How Dr. Bartlett at Revelation Health Can Help You Find Lasting Relief
If you're experiencing shoulder pain or frozen shoulder, you are not alone. At Revelation Health, Dr. Bartlett specializes in treating shoulder conditions by addressing the causes, not just the symptoms. Whether your discomfort comes from an old injury, poor posture, overuse, or a condition like adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder), our team at Revelation Health is here to help you heal naturally and regain function.
What Causes Shoulder Pain?
Your shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body and one of the most complex, making it vulnerable to misalignment, inflammation, and strain. Frozen shoulder in particular is frustrating because it tends to come on slowly and worsen over time—often limiting sleep, daily activities, and quality of life.
Other Common causes of shoulder pain include:
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Tendonitis or bursitis
- Nerve impingement
- Postural strain from tech or desk work
- Referred pain from the neck or upper back
How We Treat Shoulder Conditions at Revelation Health
At Revelation Health, we take a holistic and gentle approach to treating the shoulder while focusing on identifying and tackling the source of the issue.
1. Chiropractic Adjustments
If your shoulder pain is related to misalignments in your neck, upper back, or even your shoulder joint itself, chiropractic adjustments can help reduce pressure, improve mobility, and support the body’s natural healing process.
2. Soft Tissue Techniques
Tight muscles and fascia (the connective tissue around muscles) can restrict movement and cause pain. We often use manual therapies like trigger point release, stretching, and instrument-assisted techniques to reduce tension and improve flexibility in the shoulder girdle.
3. Lifestyle and Ergonomic Advice
Modern life has many of us hunched over desks or phones, leading to rounded shoulders and poor posture. We assess your posture and how you move, helping you identify habits that might be contributing to your pain. We offer practical advice tailored to your lifestyle, then we provide simple, effective exercises and stretches you can do at home to support long-term healing.
4. Rehabilitation and Corrective Exercises
We believe in empowering you to take an active role in your recovery. We’ll guide you through shoulder mobility exercises, gentle strength-building movements, and techniques to improve stability and function. These are especially important when treating frozen shoulder, as regular guided movement is key to breaking up adhesions and regaining range of motion.
