Shoulder Pain Acupuncture Penrith Katoomba

What causes shoulder pain? The rotator cuff is made up of four muscles that help stabilise and move the shoulder supraspinatus infraspinatus teres minor and subscapularis

Stress and daily habits can create tightness through the neck, chest and upper shoulders, while the deeper stabilising muscles become inhibited or weak

This muscle imbalance changes how the shoulder moves and can lead to inflammation bursitis and small tendon tears over time

At Eastern Medicine acupuncture and shiatsu help unwind this pattern release tension restore healthier movement and support healing

It can feel surprisingly enjoyable that sense of good pain as the body begins to let go and recover

We can also work alongside your GP if scans or further assessment are needed, if left untreated at early stages, it may result in a full-thickness tear or chronic bursitis!
