Shoulder pain is a very common symptom for people who undertake exercise or some type of overhead weight training after taking a few years off. Postural stresses from sitting at the computer desk can stiffen the surrounding tissues and limit mobility and range of motion.

Upper Cross Syndrome is a common occurence in people that spend a lot of time at a computer. Due to constant poor posture at the desk, the head drifts forward into a forward head posture, the trapezius and pec muscles become very tight, which can limit shoulder mobility.

After a proper evaluation by your Morton Grove chiropractor, Dr. Damir Simunac at Active Health Spine & Sport, treatment can consist of chiropractic adjustments to fixated joints in the thoracic spine, cervical spine and shoulder glenohumeral joint, soft tissue or myofascial work on mechanical tension in the area, and specific corrective exercises to resetore proper mechanics.
