Shoulder Pain
If your shoulder keeps hurting — no matter what you try — the problem probably isn’t where you think it is.

Does This Sound Like You?
If Any of These Feel Familiar — You're in the Right Place.
Most approaches focus only on the shoulder itself. Isolated strengthening. Passive stretching. Rest. And while those things aren’t wrong, they miss the bigger picture.
The shoulder doesn’t work alone — and treating it like it does is often exactly why the pain keeps coming back.
Common Symptoms
- Pain when lifting your arm or reaching overhead
- Aching or weakness during your golf swing or workout
- Pain that wakes you up when sleeping on that side
- Improves when you back off — flares the moment you return to activity
- You've rested it, iced it, done physical therapy — it keeps coming back
- Limiting your golf swing, training, or ability to work overhead
Here’s What Most People Get Wrong
The Shoulder Hurts. But the Shoulder Isn't Always Where the Work Needs to Happen.
Poor scapular control means the muscles around your shoulder joint work harder on every rep and every swing. A stiff thoracic spine limits how much the shoulder can move efficiently — so it compensates to make up the difference.
Our goal is always to reduce your shoulder pain — directly and as quickly as possible. Every treatment plan includes targeted work at the area of complaint. But pain relief alone isn’t enough if the mechanics driving that pain haven’t changed. That’s the difference between feeling better for a few weeks and actually fixing the problem.
From there the plan addresses both the pain and the cause — simultaneously. That’s how you feel better now and stay better long term.
How We Treat It
A Specific Plan. Not a Generic Protocol.
Every case starts with understanding where the chain broke down. What we find determines what we do.

Accelerate Tissue Recovery
SoftWave TRT to stimulate healing in chronically overloaded tissue that has stopped recovering on its own. Highly effective for shoulder tendinopathy and soft tissue conditions that haven’t responded to rest and passive care.
Why SoftWave TRT Makes a Difference Here
Chronic shoulder tendinopathy involves tissue that has been overloaded for so long it has stopped healing on its own. SoftWave TRT stimulates repair at the cellular level — reaching tissue that rest and passive rehabilitation alone can no longer address.

Common Questions.
What we hear most often before a first visit.
I've had imaging done and was told I have a partial tear or tendinopathy. Can this be treated without surgery?
Many shoulder conditions — including partial tears and tendinopathy — respond well to conservative care when the underlying mechanics driving the overload are addressed alongside tissue healing. Surgery is sometimes the right answer but it’s rarely the only answer. Dr. Funk will give you an honest assessment at your first visit about what’s appropriate for your specific situation.
I've done physical therapy and it didn't help. Why would this be different?
Physical therapy is most effective when it addresses the movement patterns and loading issues driving the problem — not just the shoulder in isolation. If previous care focused primarily on isolated shoulder exercises without assessing the full chain, the pattern that overloaded your shoulder in the first place likely wasn’t addressed. That’s where we start.
