Shoulder & Arm Pain Treatment in Guildford
Shoulder and arm pain can affect everything from working at a desk and driving to sleeping, lifting and everyday activities. Symptoms may develop gradually or follow an injury, and pain can sometimes spread from the neck into the shoulder, arm or hand.
At Guildford Chiropractic Centre, our chiropractors assess your symptoms, movement and medical history to understand what may be contributing to your discomfort. Where appropriate, care may include hands-on treatment, exercises and practical advice tailored to your needs.
Not every condition is suitable for chiropractic care. We'll explain our findings and recommend further medical assessment or referral where needed.

“First class, professional treatment from Scott.He took time to identify my back problem, explained very clearly what the problem was and what treatment was needed. My back was quickly ‘fixed’ and I’ll certainly come back to Guildford Chiropractic in the future.”

“I have now had four treatments from Daniel on a very sore and stiff Sacroiliac joint pain. Daniel has explained (and demonstrated) the issue to me and really helped ease the pain and get me moving again. I thoroughly recommend Daniel and the Guildford Chiropractic Centre, excellent knowledge and a great service.”
