Pain, Tightness, Limited Range of Motion: Shoulders that are just not working properly, are sore, painful and have restricted motion, as well as those that have sustained injury, take time and require restored alignment to heal as rapidly and completely as possible. Often, ancillary procedures such as electrical stimulation, ultrasound, massage and gentle manipulations of the shoulder joint can assist in speeding recovery.  As with any area of the body that is not healing as rapidly as possible, nor functioning as well as is possible, the nerve supply to that area must be evaluated to determine if any pressure exists on the nerves and if the nerves are consequently compromised.  If such nerve pressure is detected, it must be eliminated if recovery and optimal functioning of the shoulder is to be achieved as rapidly and completely as possible.
