Shoulder Pain

Effective Non-Invasive Solutions for Lasting Shoulder Pain Relief

Shoulder pain can quietly take over your life, turning simple daily tasks like reaching for a shelf, driving, or sleeping into agonizing challenges. Because the shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body, it relies heavily on a complex network of muscles, ligaments, and tendons to remain stable.
When structural imbalances occur, your mobility suffers. If you are tired of temporary fixes that mask the discomfort, it is time to seek long-term shoulder pain relief in Naperville.
At Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center, we provide the targeted clinical solutions you need to eliminate the underlying source of your dysfunction and fully reclaim your active, pain-free lifestyle.

Understanding the Root Causes of Shoulder Dysfunction

Your shoulder joint does not operate in isolation. It is a critical component of your upper body’s kinetic chain. Severe discomfort frequently stems from underlying issues like rotator cuff tears, bursitis, frozen shoulder, or postural strains caused by long hours at a desk.
The structural misalignments in your cervical and thoracic spine can cause poor scapular tracking, forcing your shoulder muscles to overcompensate. Our expert team evaluates your entire musculoskeletal framework to identify the exact structural source of your limitations rather than just treating the surface symptoms.

Why Choose Chiropractic Care for Shoulder Pain?

Choosing a holistic approach allows you to avoid invasive surgeries and heavy reliance on prescription medications. Seek targeted chiropractic care for shoulder pain protocols, which offer a comprehensive healing pathway that restores natural joint mechanics.
  • Restores Perfect Joint Alignment Gentle manual adjustments realign your spine, neck, and collarbone seamlessly. A structural correction instantly unloads unnatural mechanical stress from your delicate shoulder capsule during daily movements.
  • Reduces Deep Tissue Inflammation Customized clinical strategies safely eliminate the toxic metabolic environments that cause swelling. Removing this internal fluid pressure alleviates nagging aches and accelerates joint recovery.
  • Boosts Local Blood Circulation  Personalized therapies stimulate healthy vascular flow directly to your damaged muscles and ligaments. An increased circulation floods the injured shoulder area with vital oxygen and healing nutrients.
  • Activates Natural Cellular Healing  Correcting structural subluxations optimizes your nervous system to trigger rapid cellular repair. Such a comprehensive pathway safely triggers long-term tissue regeneration without the need for dangerous drugs.

Dr. Norgaard’s first exposure to chiropractic was when he was a high school football player at Neuqua Valley in Naperville, Illinois. Nagging injuries led him to Action Chiropractic and Dr. Durnas. He was amazed with the results he got and knew that the treatments provided at Action Chiropractic were the best way to address his ailments.
After high school, Dr. Norgaard left Naperville and attended Central College in Pella, Iowa. While at Central, he majored in biology and played football, further piquing his interest in sports injuries and how to treat them. When he wasn’t in the classroom or on the football field, Dr. Norgaard spent his time volunteering at hospitals, and at various clinics. This is when he really developed a passion for helping people get better.
His experiences as an athlete, chiropractic patient, and volunteer shaped his decision to become a chiropractor.
After graduating from Central, Dr. Norgaard continued his education at Palmer College of Chiropractic.
While at Palmer, Dr. Norgaard took several extracurricular courses focusing on spinal diagnosis and therapy, soft tissue care, and diagnosis and treatment of the extremities. He completed a 4-month internship with Dr. Durnas at Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center and further developed his skills as a physician.
He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Palmer in October of 2021 and received the Academic Excellence Award.
After graduation, Dr. Norgaard joined the team at Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center. He currently resides in the Naperville area with his wife, Shannon, son, Parker, and dog, Alby.
“I chose to become a chiropractor because I was helped by chiropractic. I was in such discomfort it took me over 3 minutes to put on my socks. After seeing a chiropractor, and regaining the ability to tie my shoes, I realized that taking loads of NSAIDs did not address the fact that there was something causing the pain. The more I learned about it, I found that Chiropractic doesn’t just hide symptoms, like I was trying to do with pills, it fixes the origin of the problem.”
Dr. Durnas graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Biology and Bachelors of Arts degree in Chemistry. After graduation he worked in research and development for 3 years and dabbled in powerlifting and professional wrestling. That’s what lead him to chiropractic school. While at Palmer College of Chiropractic, he focused on learning how to best help the athlete. He took several extracurricular courses on how to address soft tissue injuries, how to adjust extremities, and how to better manage sports injuries. He graduated in June of 2012, where we were the Palmer Clinical Excellence Award winner and a keynote speaker at commencement.
In 2019, Dr. Durnas earned his Diplomate from the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians (DACBSP)®. He is only the 427th chiropractor in history to earn this designation, and only the 6th recipient in the history of Illinois. He completed over 300 hours of classroom and online courses focusing on in depth on the diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries, concussions, and emergency procedures, and had over 100 on the field hours with athletes that ranged from cross fitters, professional and high school football players, professional BMX and Motocross riders, triathletes, and runners. Dr. Durnas passed a 6-part practical exam and a 250 question Board exam and contributed a case study involving nerve damage in a professional athlete following a hit to the shoulder.
