Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can show up as sharp pinching, deep aching, or that annoying “catching” feeling—especially when you reach overhead, behind your back, or try to lift anything heavier than a coffee mug. Most patients come to us after trying rest, massage, stretching, or injections… with zero lasting relief.

These symptoms are often driven by common conditions like shoulder impingement, frozen shoulder, biceps tendon irritation, AC joint pain, rotator cuff adhesion, or thoracic outlet syndrome.

You might notice:

• Pain when reaching behind to grab something in the back seat

• Difficulty putting on a bra or reaching behind your back

• Sharp pinching when washing or blow-drying your hair

• Shoulder flare-ups during overhead lifts or workouts

• Pain when lifting kids, groceries, or bags with one arm

• Strain or weakness during pressing movements or pushups

These issues are often caused by adhesions—tiny areas where soft tissue sticks together and restricts movement. Adhesions don’t show up on imaging, but they do limit mobility, irritate nerves, and make healing feel impossible without targeted treatment.

At Resolve STS in Charlotte, we use a precise, hands-on system to identify restricted tissues, release adhesions, and re-test movement in real time—so you feel measurable improvement during your session.
