Why does my shoulder hurt after chiropractic adjustment?

I had a chiropractic shoulder adjustment yesterday. It hurts after the adjustment. Is it normal?

It depends on the adjustment, perhaps there is an issue with your neck that is now creating pain radiating to your shoulder.
Ask the chiropractor. Or stop and see orthopedic surgeon.
No, that is not normal. STOP having adjustments on your shoulder, I have never heard of that, and it is unclear to me what benefit it could have to you. Your shoulder probably hurts because you have rotator cuff tendonitis. I recommend you see an Orthopaedic surgeon for evaluation and treatment.

Hope this helps!!

Shoulder problems generally don’t respond well to adjustments
if there is an injury an adjustment will not help
