What Causes Shoulder Impingement?
What Causes Shoulder Impingement?

The shoulder is “the overachiever of the body.” It’s supposed to move in all directions — but when something isn’t doing its job (usually your scapular stabilizers or thoracic spine), the shoulder joint pays the price.
If you’ve ever felt that deep, annoying pinch in the front or top of your shoulder when reaching overhead — yeah, that’s not something to ignore. Shoulder impingement (sometimes mimicking rotator cuff tendonitis) can creep up on anyone from desk workers and weekend warriors to CrossFit athletes, swimmers, and golfers. It’s one of the most common shoulder issues we treat here at Minnesota Movement Chiropractic & Sports Rehab.

Patellar Tendonitis / Jumper's Knee
Patellar Tendonitis / Jumper's Knee

Jumper’s knee doesn’t just happen to jumpers.
Truth is, we see plenty of runners, lifters, pickleball players — even desk-jockeys — dealing with nagging pain right below their kneecap. Patellar tendinitis (or patellar tendonitis… however you like to spell it) is an overuse injury that happens when your quadriceps overpower your glutes, placing repetitive stress on the patellar tendon over time.
When this tendon gets angry, it lets you know — with sharp, achy, or burning pain right below the kneecap.

Sports Chiropractic vs. Physical Therapy for Shoulder Pain: What's the difference?!
Sports Chiropractic vs. Physical Therapy for Shoulder Pain: What's the difference?!

If you’ve ever had shoulder pain, you know it’s one of those things that makes everything annoying. Brushing your teeth? Hurts. Putting on a shirt? Hurts. Trying to impress your friends with your overhead press PR? Definitely hurts.

Here’s the thing: the shoulder is an insanely mobile joint — which is great when you’re serving an ace or hitting a drive down the fairway, but not so great when the smallest imbalance throws the whole system off. And that’s exactly why shoulder pain is one of the most common things we see at Minnesota Movement.

Now, you might be wondering, “Should I see a chiropractor or a physical therapist for shoulder pain?” Read the full blog to find out!

Anterior Pelvic Tilt / Lower Crossed Syndrome
Anterior Pelvic Tilt / Lower Crossed Syndrome

You know that feeling when your low back is constantly tight, your hips ache after sitting too long, and no amount of stretching seems to fix it? Yeah… that might not just be “getting older” — it could be Lower Crossed Syndrome (aka the lazy glutes + tight hip flexors combo). At Minnesota Movement, we see this all the time — from weekend warriors to high-level athletes.

The good news? This is totally fixable — and faster than you’d think. Whether it’s from sitting all day, training hard without mobility work, or just years of bad movement habits, we’ll help you figure out why your body got here and teach it how to move the right way again.

So if you’ve ever caught yourself wondering why your posture looks more “Instagram slouch” than “Olympic sprinter,” don’t worry — we’ve got you (and your pelvis) covered.

Runner’s Knee and Jumper’s Knee
Runner’s Knee and Jumper’s Knee

It is difficult to pinpoint the direct cause of runner’s knee. In its basic form, runner’s knee occurs when that precious cartilage under your kneecap breaks down and is worn to the point where it is no longer protective, causing pain. Or, it can happen because your gait or biomechanics are off causing uneven tracking of the patella and resulting in uneven wear and tear. You may develop it because of an injury but the biggest culprit is overuse. You will notice knee pain during even the simplest activities like using stairs, squatting, and kneeling. So for those of you who live an active lifestyle, pay close attention to your knees.
