What is the source of my shoulder, neck, or back pain?
Are you unsure when your pain began? The therapists at PhysioPlus Health Group can identify the source of your discomfort and make tailored recommendations for your recovery. In the meantime, consider the following possible causes of your pain.
Back pain
Low-back pain is one of the most common and expensive musculoskeletal problems in the world. According to studies, approximately 80% of the population will experience low-back pain.
The source of back pain is not always obvious. Muscle or ligament strain, bulging or ruptured discs, arthritis, and osteoporosis are all conditions that are commonly associated with low back pain. Back pain can also develop as a result of an injury, overuse, or a sedentary lifestyle.
Physical therapists are experts at treating musculoskeletal problems like back pain.
Our physiotherapist will look at you as a whole person rather than a single issue. We will assess your particular condition to identify the contributing factors and address all of them. We understand that trying to resolve back pain without addressing all of your symptoms will not provide the solutions you need for long-term success.

Shoulder pain
Poor posture and improper shoulder positioning can expose your shoulder blade to pain and rotator cuff injuries. A rotator cuff tear, if left untreated, can cause severe pain and limit the ability to use the arm.
Acute injury pain can be sudden and intense, making it difficult to move your shoulder at all. Pain caused by wear and tear or degenerative changes are frequently achy and sore.
The following are the most common shoulder conditions:
- Strains: occur when a muscle or tendon is overly stretched or torn.
- Tendonopathy: occurs when a joint becomes irritated or overused.
- Cartilage injury: typically results in a limited range of motion and decreased strength in the affected shoulder.
- Arthritis: the two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Pain and loss of motion are common in both cases.
- Frozen shoulder: also known as adhesive capsulitis, this condition causes significant motion deficits and pain.

Neck pain
The most common causes of neck pain are soft tissue sprains and strains, as well as changes to the joint itself. Changes to the disc (a specialized tissue that sits between vertebrae throughout our spine) are the source of pain for others.
Bulging and herniated discs are extremely painful and common in people who suffer from nerve pain. Pain and difficulty moving the neck can also result from disc degeneration.
How will PhysioPlus Health Group treat my pain?
Physiotherapy is an excellent treatment option for shoulder, neck, and back pain because it addresses the source of the pain rather than simply masking the symptoms.
Working with a physical therapist can help you improve your range of motion, restore muscle strength, and reduce muscle tension through targeted manual therapies.
Physiotherapy is still the first-line treatment and should be used on a regular basis to achieve meaningful results.
The following are the most effective physiotherapy treatments for back, shoulder, and neck pain:
- Chiropractic care or spinal manipulation
- Massage therapy
- Joint mobilization
- Acupuncture and dry needling
- Therapeutic exercises to build strength
