Shoulder pain isn't just the result of overuse or "wear and tear" — it’s often a signal that your body’s recovery systems are under stress.

At Front Range Functional Medicine & Chiropractic in Westminster, CO, we help you address shoulder pain at the root by restoring movement efficiency, metabolic resilience, and nervous system balance.

If you're tired of temporary fixes and frustrated workouts, you're in the right place.

What is Shoulder Pain Really Telling You?

When shoulder pain becomes chronic, it's often because the body’s ability to heal and regulate stress has been compromised — not just because of one injury.

We commonly see shoulder pain linked to:

  • Poor scapular control and dysfunctional movement patterns
  • Fascial restrictions and soft tissue adhesions
  • Nervous system overactivation ("fight or flight" tone) limiting recovery
  • Hormonal and metabolic imbalances affecting tissue repair
  • Inflammation from under-recovery, poor nutrition, or chronic stress

Pain is your body's way of asking for real recovery — not just another quick fix.

Common Symptoms Associated with Shoulder Pain

  • Sharp or aching pain with overhead movement or lifting
  • Loss of range of motion in the shoulder or upper back
  • Clicking, catching, or grinding sensations
  • Weakness or instability during pressing, pulling, or throwing motions
  • Sleep disturbances caused by shoulder discomfort

What to Expect in Your Recovery Journey

Step 1: Comprehensive Recovery Evaluation

We assess your shoulder mechanics, posture, breathing patterns, tissue integrity, and nervous system resilience — identifying the deeper drivers behind your pain.

Step 2: Targeted Recovery Strategy

Your Recovery Plan may include manual therapy (myofascial release, cupping, dry needling, laser), movement correction strategies, metabolic support, and stress recovery techniques to rebuild function.

Step 3: Ongoing Progress & Support

All shoulder pain care is delivered through structured Recovery Packages, blending Comprehensive (60-minute) and Targeted (30-minute) sessions.
You’ll also receive access to our Recovery Portal — with video guides, mobility flows, and recovery tools to help you heal between visits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help if my MRI shows a tear or degeneration?
In many cases, yes. We focus on restoring function and supporting your system’s natural healing, even when imaging shows structural changes.

Will I just get exercises?
No. While corrective movement is key, we integrate hands-on therapy, nervous system regulation, and metabolic recovery for a complete approach.

Do you offer one-off sessions?
We only offer care through Recovery Packages to deliver deeper, more lasting outcomes — not just temporary symptom management.
