Understanding AC Joint Sprain
An Acromioclavicular (AC) joint sprain, commonly referred to as a shoulder separation, occurs when the ligaments connecting the acromion (part of the shoulder blade) and the collarbone (clavicle) are injured. This injury can range from mild to severe, depending on the extent of ligament damage. Symptoms can include:
Pain and tenderness over the AC joint.
Swelling or visible deformity near the shoulder.
Limited range of motion, particularly when moving the shoulder.
Pain with overhead activities or when lifting objects.

Your treatment plan will adapt and change as your symptoms progress to ensure a quicker recovery.

With additional attention to detail, we focus on on both alleviating your current symptoms AND preventing future recurrences.

We emphasize a multifaceted rehabilitation approach that combines manual therapy techniques, targeted strengthening exercises, and functional movement training to improve joint stability, restore range of motion, and alleviate pain.

“Greg is honestly the best around. Super genuine guy who’s really helped me feel more confident in myself and my abilities due to his awesome therapy work he’s done on me. Recovering from a shoulder injury, I came to him with weak range of motion, no flexibility & not great strength. After just a few visits i’ve had a complete turn around and I’m feeling better than ever. I honestly can’t thank him enough!” -Quintaryis B.
