Acromioclavicular Joint Pain (ACJ)
The Acromio Clavicular Joint (or ACJ for short) is where your collar bone meets your shoulder blade at the top of your shoulder. You can feel the bump at the shoulder end of your collar bone. If you get pain from it, it is normally right on the joint but you can get pain further away too.
You can strain and tear the ligaments here if you fall onto your arm or shoulder. It can also be injured during contact sports. It benefits from rest in the initial stages of this type of injury. Like most things, time and rehab should get you back fighting fit in no time!
People in pain often leave it a long time before asking for help,
they don't know what is wrong, and worry about the future.
We specialise in modern physio to help people
live the life they want and keep doing the things they love.

From a 1 week episode to 10 years worth of pain. It’s the third most common problem that we see in our physio clinic in Macclesfield Cheshire.
When it comes to shoulder pain, it feels like everyone has an opinion on what’s best for you. It can be confusing to know who to listen to and who to trust. Most of the advice is often out of date.
One thing that is certain about shoulder back pain is that YOUR shoulder pain and the contributing factors to it are individual to you. So what might have worked for a friend will not work for you.
If one treatment worked for everyone then shoulder pain would not be the problem it is!
Frequently heard problems
Here are some things that our clients have said to us about their
shoulder pain before they came to us.
I recently saw Hogan & Mitchell over a long term shoulder issue I've been experiencing. A a detailed assessment was carried out and the issue was patiently explained, how it was caused and the treatment needed to address it. Within a month I've seen a massive improvement; in fact I'm no longer having any restriction or pain. Highly recommended.

I have suffered from neck and shoulder pain for many years and always found even simple gardening jobs almost impossible due to the resulting pain, stiffness and discomfort. However, since seeing Hogan & Mitchell I am virtually pain free. This was highlighted to me recently when I dug out heavy clay soil and laid patio bricks without any repercussions, something which would not have happened a year ago. I can now carry on doing jobs which had become impossible.
