What Conditions Can Cause Shoulder Pain?

  • Rotator cuff injuries: Tears or inflammation of the rotator cuff can cause pain, weakness, and difficulty lifting or rotating the arm.
  • Shoulder impingement syndrome: Compression of tendons or bursa leads to pain when reaching overhead or behind the body.
  • Bursitis: Inflammation of the shoulder bursa causes swelling, tenderness, and pain with movement.
  • Tendinitis: Overuse or repetitive motion can inflame shoulder tendons, resulting in aching pain and stiffness.
  • Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis): Progressive stiffness and pain severely limit shoulder range of motion over time.
  • Shoulder arthritis: Degeneration of the shoulder joint leads to chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
  • Labral tears: Injury to the cartilage rim of the shoulder joint can cause instability, catching, or deep shoulder pain.
  • Shoulder instability or dislocation: Loose or damaged joint structures may cause recurrent pain, weakness, or a feeling of slipping.
  • Referred neck pain: Cervical spine conditions can radiate pain into the shoulder region.
  • Muscle strain or overuse injuries: Repetitive activity or heavy lifting can lead to localized pain and muscle tightness.

Real Patient success stories

Here’s how our clients have experienced profound healing and personal growth through our services.

Maria Mercedes Martinez

They are amazing—friendly, professional, and trustworthy! Dr. Petterson and Dr. Welch are truly the best. The whole team—Andrea, Miranda, Megan, and Jesse—are all wonderful and make every visit a great experience!

Frankbackzek B

My initial consultation visit was a very good experience with the doctor and PA. I feel they were very thorough in their approach to beginning a diagnosis and very efficient in getting the program rolling. I’m looking forward to my next visit.

Leslie SLC

First visit left me with a game plan & 1st/2nd steps that totally made sense. (I felt all relevant info was gathered, and based on my layperson’s research, this plan was appropriately paced & outlined.) Very impressed by Dr Peterson, his PA and Office Mgr. All were generous with their time & answered my questions without rushing me.

Jordan Schwartz

After a recent car accident, they’ve taken incredible care of me. The team is compassionate, professional, and truly focused on helping me manage and recover from my pain. I always feel heard and supported during each visit. Highly recommend to anyone dealing with injury-related pain or looking for a wellness-focused clinic that truly cares.

Kevin Kahl

I have been treating with Dr. Reed for a couple months now for my shoulder pain. Both her and the staff are very friendly and I like how she is up front with honest advice along with my treatment options. I have regained more mobility, so it is working !

John Porter

WONDERFUL! KNOWLEDGEABLE! COMPASSIONATE! LIFE SAVERS! I will always be grateful for what this staff did for me. I was in so much intense pain when I came here. For the first time in over a year, I’m able to stand up straight and walk without cringing and moaning with every step. After my treatment, I was in tears of happiness. My neverending thanks and appreciation to all of you!

Christi

Inviting, calm environment. Helpful staff. Incredibly patient, informative & empathetic doctor. I’m so excited to have been referred here & look forward to continuing my care with Compass Pain & Wellness!

amanda bausk

I have back discomfort and wanted to try trigger point injections again. I had my first appointment with Dr. Balog and he was fantastic. He was very kind and detail oriented in gathering my medical history. The trigger point injections gave me relief and the process was easy. Everyone in the office was very friendly and the scheduling process was painless. I will be going back in the future for more injections. Definitely reccomend!

Dayna Craig

I had the best treatment and care that I have ever received for the pain I’ve been experiencing. Prior doctors I’ve been to have only treated symptoms, but never the root cause. The doctors here thoroughly went through my history, trying to discover the medical cause of my pains versus simply attempting to treat the symptoms. I cannot recommend enough.
