Chiropractic Care for Shoulder Pain in South Lake Tahoe
Shoulder pain is a very common symptom that patients deal with. This is a major joint and muscle group that gets a lot of use and has a major impact on your mobility, so it’s common to experience pain and discomfort in this area.
Our Chiropractic team in South Lake Tahoe are experts in diagnosing and treating shoulder pain. They will take a complete medical history and perform a physical examination to determine the underlying cause of your pain. In many cases, chiropractic care can provide relief from shoulder pain without the need for medication or surgery.
Common Causes for Shoulder Pain
There are a lot of reasons you might experience shoulder pain. Some of the common reasons we see shoulder pain issues include:
Rotator Cuff Injuries
Rotator cuff injuries are a common cause of shoulder pain. A rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that attach your shoulder blade to your upper arm bone. These muscles and tendons help lift your arm. When these muscles and tendons are injured, it can cause pain and difficulty lifting your arm.
Chiropractic care can help relieve the pain and inflammation associated with rotator cuff injuries. Our team will work to restore range of motion and improve mobility in this area. In many cases, this can provide relief from shoulder pain.
Bursitis
Bursitis is another common cause of shoulder pain. Bursae are small, fluid-filled sacs that cushion and lubricate your joints. When these sacs become inflamed, it can cause pain and difficulty moving your joint.
Chiropractic care can help to reduce inflammation and improve mobility in this area. In many cases, this can provide relief from shoulder pain.
Arthritis is a condition that makes joints and muscles hurt. It can be hard to move the joint and it might feel like the joint is not made right. There are many different types of arthritis, but one of them is called “osteoarthritis”.
Osteoarthritis means that your cartilage isn’t working well anymore. Cartilage is a part of your body that helps move your joints. In osteoarthritis, this cartilage gets worn away over time and can lead to pain, inflammation, and stiffness in the joint.
Chiropractic care can help with this type of arthritis by improving blood flow to the area and reducing inflammation in the tissue around the joint which helps reduce pain for people with osteoarthritis.
Tendonitis
Tendonitis is an inflammation of the tendon. This can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness in the tendon. Tendonitis is often caused by overuse of the tendon or by repetitive motions.
Chiropractic care can help to reduce inflammation and improve mobility in the area. In many cases, this can provide relief from shoulder pain.
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in your shoulder joint. Signs and symptoms typically begin gradually, worsen over time and then resolve, usually within one to three years.
Frozen shoulder typically develops slowly, and in three stages. Each stage can last a number of months.
Freezing stage. Any movement of your shoulder causes pain, and your shoulder’s range of motion starts to become limited.
Frozen stage. Pain may begin to diminish during this stage. However, your shoulder becomes stiffer, and using it becomes more difficult.
Thawing stage. The range of motion in your shoulder begins to improve.
For some people, the pain worsens at night, sometimes disrupting sleep.
Chiropractic is a great choice for resolving frozen shoulder. After a thorough examination our office uses a variety of adjustments and therapies to safely restore range of motion and get rid of pain.
How Chiropractors Treat Shoulder Pain
Shoulders are one of the most used joints in your body, and having pain or discomfort there is a common problem.
Our Chiropractic team will often use a variety of techniques to help relieve shoulder pain. This may include spinal adjustments, manipulation, massage, and ice/heat therapy. In some cases, they may also recommend exercises or stretches to help you improve your range of motion and reduce your discomfort.
Since the spine protects the nervous system and our overall body alignment, chiropractors often look at the spine first when diagnosing shoulder pain. We will complete a full examination and take a medical history to determine the root cause of your shoulder pain. In many cases, chiropractic care can provide relief from shoulder pain.
Chiropractors can offer holistic treatments for shoulder pain and help you avoid medication and surgeries for dealing with your shoulder pain issues. Chiropractic adjustments help to restore movement and improve nerve communication. This, in turn, helps the body to function at its best and reduce inflammation and pain.
If you are experiencing shoulder pain, it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible before it manifests into more serious issues.
Living in pain is a choice! Chiropractic care can help alleviate your shoulder pain and get you back to living a pain-free life.
If you are experiencing shoulder pain, call our office today to schedule a consultation with one of our chiropractors. We would be happy to help you get relief from your pain and improve your mobility.

Dr. Tim Langan is the most amazing and professional chiropractor I have ever been too.

He is really the best in this profession and each visit is alleviating the stiffness and pain I've been enduring.
Dr. Langan is a great chiropracter! With his knowledge, he effectively evaluates the problems & treats in a timely manner for quick appointments with good results!

Annie and Tim were fantastic. My wife and I own Tahoe Hyperbaric Wellness in Truckee, and we came down to check out their Soft Wave therapy for my broken toe and my wife's planter fasciitis. We were also looking to get a Softwave unit for our practice in Truckee. Annie and Tim were very knowledgeable, and I can honestly say that after 48 hours my foot feels better as does my wife's. We enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend it!
Dr.Langan is very thorough and detailed to exactly what is going on with your body, before him I never had a good experience with chiropractors but he has definitely changed my mind about that.. they make you feel like you are family.. highly recommend.. when my wife was pregnant and couldn’t get in to see him we ran into him at the store and he did a quick adjustment to her right there.. that’s just awesome..
I love dr. langan and all of the staff. dr langan is a good listener and had many techniques to address all issues that one may have. his bedside manners are the best. he has alot of experience from all his years of practice in texas. he gives helpful recommendations regarding activities and exercises.<br>Jamo the office mascot is the best and cutest pooch anyone could have. the environment is comfortable and welcoming.

Dr. Tim and Angie are remarkable professionals and a great help to orient new patients into treatment care and the community. I’m really grateful to have started treatment with them, after moving to SLT from Monterey, CA.<br>Excellent care, manners and intentionality. It really emoted me to tears, as I was in great pain for a chronic condition.
Dr Langdon is the best. If you have back pain he will do everything he can to help you. The best in South Lake Tahoe. He has helped me many times. Him and his wife are very sweet. They also have a very sweet family. Very very nice.
Dr. Tim Langan, DC is BEST. CHIROPRACTOR. EVER. Initially helped me with a severe case of TMJ. Two months later, I had severe muscular pain in my shoulder. He was able to fit me in right away and take care of it. His office staff is also wonderful.
I had less 10 days to run a marathon and my whole body was hurting. Tim worked on my neck and knee. It was incredible! I was so impressed how well I felt. I was able to run my race. Thank you
Visiting Tahoe for the week and needed an adjustment for relief from travel, and to support enjoying some long hikes. So grateful to get scheduled within 24 hours. Dr. Langan and Angi were both so personable, knowledgeable, and thorough. I left with great relief, none of the pain I came in with, and exercises to support the adjustment. Definitely returning on the next trip!
Dr. Langan and his wife are an asset to our community. I’ve been going for about 2 years with very positive results. They both are knowledgeable, professional and conscientious. We need more businesses run like their operation. Highly recommended!
Great first experience, came in with no expectations and left with knowledge along with feeling flexible. I will be coming back when I can. They make you feel comfortable while juggling multiple people at once
I was in pain on my lower back when we arrived to South Lake Tahoe from Las Vegas. I started to look for a chiropractor near the area. I called a couple of places but I needed an appointment unfortunately. But when I called Tahoe Chiropractic Clinic, Angy was able to take me in the next hour from my call. I couldn't be any happier than that. I met with Dr Tim and he really took care of my situation. He was so polite and compassionate. Cracked my back and did an adjustment. I walked out feeling much better. I would definitely recommend this clinic if you are in the area and need of a chiropractic while visiting beautiful Tahoe. Thank you Dr. Tim and Angy, you are so awesome!
Great service and very friendly staff. I feel better every time I go. Tim and Angie are very accommodating when it comes to getting me in at the last minute.
I hadn't seen Dr. Langan in a couple years. He helped me with some chronic pain today, feeling better finally. He explained clearly what he was doing, and provided a flexible treatment plan. Angela gave me a heads up about a minor issue with my insurance account numbering, and I appreciate her courtesy in taking the time to explain a potential headache in the future. Great doctor, great manager. 👍
I have loved coming here from day one. My massage therapist Recommended Tim. Tim cares for his patients and will always listen, give any needed advice for extra issues that may arise that he can treat and show you how to do on your own to get relief. Besides getting put in proper alignment, the office is welcoming and inviting and Angi is always super friendly and helpful. Wonderful family practice who cares!
I’ve been seeing Dr. Tim for nearly six years now, and even after moving out of town and off the mountain, I remain a loyal client. He’s an essential part of my team of alternative care providers, and I’m deeply grateful for his knowledge, experience, and the genuine care he offers—not just for my body, but for my overall well-being.<br><br>Whether I’ve injured myself doing something careless or simply need to maintain alignment, Dr. Tim is always ready to help. His treatments consistently restore my body’s mechanics and provide lasting relief. One example: I used to struggle with tingling in my hands and fingers from prior nerve damage—his adjustments resolve it immediately.<br><br>If you’re serious about your health and wellness, do yourself a favor and make Dr. Tim a part of your ongoing care. You’ll be better for it.

I was happy to have found someone that could help me while I was on vacation in Tahoe. DR. Tim Langan was professional and personable. He was able to help me with the pain I was experiencing and gave me undivided attention and guidance.
This place is awesome! I through my back out 3 weeks ago. I had been trying to fix it myself , didn’t work . I started searching for a new chiropractor after my old one moved his business off the hill . I called and spoke with Angie , she must have heard the pain in my voice and squeezed me in that afternoon. What a life saver ! They put me on 2 different machines to loosen up my locked lower back . WOW ! I’m still sore and going back this week to readjust it . However after my visit , I felt a ton better . Looking forward to my next treatment. It seems like this doc can get me on the right track of feeling less pain soon. Thank you Dr. Langan & Angie 🤙🤙☕️
Tahoe chiropractic South Lake Tahoe is the the best chiropractic place I have been to. Finding a chiropractor that you can trust is very hard. Dr Timothy Langan listens to his patients needs while doing what ia required to heal. His staff is amazing. My husband threw his back out and they went above and beyond to get ya in to be seen. He went from crawling on the floor to walking and returning to every day activities the next day. Can’t say enough about them
Came in last minute with some back and shoulder pain and Tim and his wife Angie were great! Made me feel right at home and took care of the problem right away.<br>Thank you so much.
My favorite chiropractor! An amazing environment, super kind and supportive, and takes the time to explain a bit of what’s going on which is so helpful. Dr. Langan is the best chiropractor out there
