Overhead Athletes and Shoulder Pain: A Macon Chiropractor’s Guide

Baseball players, swimmers, volleyball athletes, and CrossFitters in Macon rely on healthy shoulders. Repetitive overhead motion can irritate the rotator cuff, compress the bursa, and create painful movement patterns.

Why overhead athletes get shoulder pain

• Repetitive eccentric loading on the rotator cuff
• Scapular dyskinesis — poor shoulder-blade movement
• Thoracic spine stiffness limiting overhead reach
• Cervical nerve irritation referring pain into the arm

What we evaluate

1. Shoulder range of motion and strength
2. Scapular control during lifting patterns
3. Thoracic and cervical spine mobility
4. Load management and training volume
