Why does my shoulder hurt when I reach overhead?

Common reasons we see at our Brookfield, WI clinic:

- Rotator cuff tendinopathy or tear — pain with lifting and weakness
- Subacromial impingement or bursitis — sharp pain at the top of the shoulder
- Scapular/shoulder blade dysfunction and poor posture — altered mechanics cause strain
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) — stiffness plus pain when lifting
- Cervical nerve irritation — pain or numbness from the neck radiating into the shoulder

Simple things that often help: avoid painful overhead activity, ice 10–15 minutes after aggravating tasks, gentle range-of-motion, and targeted rotator-cuff/scapular strengthening once pain allows. If pain is intense, you have weakness, numbness, or it hasn’t improved in 2–3 weeks, schedule an evaluation — we can assess, treat soft tissues and joints, and build a rehab plan to get you lifting overhead pain-free again.

Neck and back pain from your desk? Try this quick ergonomic checklist from your Brookfield chiropractic team:

- Top of monitor at eye level, 20–30" from your face
- Use an external keyboard/mouse; keep elbows ~90° and close to your body
- Chair set so feet are flat and lumbar support matches the curve of your lower back
- Alternate sitting/standing every 30–60 minutes with a sit‑stand desk
- Take micro-breaks: stretch neck, shoulders, and hips for 1–2 minutes every 20–30 minutes
- Hold your phone at eye level—don’t crane your neck
