Pain or stiffness in the shoulder region? Pain in the upper arm? Shoulder problems significantly affecting your quality of life?

The shoulder is a complex part of the body and stresses and strains put on this region can lead to painful episodes. Treat Your own Shoulder will give you a practical approach to managing your symptoms.

This book with encourage you to reassess how you use your shoulders and the exercise regime unique to the McKenzie Method will enable you to identify and respond to recurrence in a safe and economical manner. One of the main points of this book is that the management of your shoulder problem is your responsibility.

If, you have developed shoulder problems, then you can learn how to deal with the present symptoms and how to prevent or limit future problems. Self-treatment will be more effective in the long-term management of your shoulder pain than any other form of treatment because you can self-treat multiple times a day. Self management gives you the tools to stay well.

Is my pain coming from my neck or my shoulder?
Pain originating from the shoulder is usually felt on the front or outer part of the shoulder and commonly in the upper third of the arm. It may radiate down to the elbow and in severe cases you may feel a dull ache as far down your arm as the wrist. Affected shoulder structures do not usually cause pain to be felt above the shoulder or into the neck. Therefore, if pain is felt between the point of the shoulder and the neck, or in the region of the shoulder blade, it is unlikely to be coming from the shoulder. A shoulder problem will not give you a sensation of pins and needles, or numbness, in the hand.

Pain originating from the neck will generally cause some pain or aching near the base of the neck or into the shoulder blade. However, the most pain may also be felt between the neck and shoulder. It may spread into the shoulder and upper arm, and extend below the elbow to the wrist or hand. Pain from a neck problem may also be associated with a sensation of pins and needles or numbness.

If the pain is coming from your Neck, we recommend our best-selling book Treat Your Own Neck.

Who Can Perform self-treatment?

Having determined that your shoulder region is the source of your pain, we recommend you take the Shoulder Diagnosis Questionnaire to determine whether you can treat your shoulder problem successfully without further assistance.
