Shoulder impingement is a condition where the rotator cuff tendons or the bursa in the shoulder become compressed in the subacromial space during movement. This pinching leads to irritation, inflammation, and pain, particularly with overhead activities or repetitive motions. It often results in discomfort, weakness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder.
A rotator cuff injury happens when the group of muscles and tendons (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis) that hold your shoulder joint in place become damaged or strained. This is often the result of overuse, an injury, or natural wear and tear over time.
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition where the shoulder joint becomes stiff and painful due to inflammation and thickening of the joint capsule. This limits the shoulder’s range of motion and can make even simple movements difficult. It often develops gradually, typically after an injury, surgery, or prolonged immobility, and progresses through three stages: freezing, frozen, and thawing.
Shoulder pain can significantly impact daily life, making simple tasks difficult and limiting mobility. Fortunately, Aspen Falls Wellness offers a variety of services designed to address shoulder pain at its source and promote long-term relief. This includes:

"I am so grateful to have found Aspen Falls!!! They are absolutely amazing! I herniated my disc in my low back and Dr Hedstrom has helped me go from bed ridden to better than I felt even before I hurt myself.
