Shoulder and Knee Pain Treatment in Matawan, NJ
Dr. Sharon Barnum: A & A Chiropractic
Shoulder pain is treated without surgery or medication at our facility using gentle chiropractic adjustments combined with other non-invasive modalities including electric muscle stimulation
The shoulder joint can shift out of alignment causing the muscles and ligaments to pull differently. This leads to muscle spasms, inflammation and pain that may not go away on its own. Dr. Sharon Barnum will provide gentle adjustments to the shoulder to distract the joint or shift it forward or backward, depending on symptoms. She will also adjust the spine to bring balance to the body and improve posture. By having the neck and upper back adjusted, it will also help relieve shoulder discomfort.
Dr. Barnum also provides other treatments that effectively help reduce shoulder pain. All of our therapies work with the muscles and tissues to reduce inflammation and allow the body to stay aligned. These treatments will also help release stubborn knots from tight or damaged muscles and tissues.
These treatments include:
- Electric Muscle Stimulation
- Ultrasound Therapy
- Moist Heat
- Myofascial Therapy
- Rehabilitation Exercises
- Isometric Stretching
Chiropractic care can help with knee pain
Osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis in the knee, is caused by the gradual degradation of the cartilage in the joint. A deformity can lead to arthritis in the knee, but more often, obesity or excess weight, or repetitive stress injuries from sports are the culprits. Symptoms include pain, swelling, stiffness or locking joints.
The knee is a joint that relies heavily on ligaments and muscles for stability. When pain is perceived as coming from the knee, all the anatomical components need to be examined. In addition to the knee joint, the low back, pelvis, hip, ankle and foot need to be evaluated due to the direct influence they have on the knee, and vice versa.
How we treat patients with knee pain
Each patient that visits our facility is unique, therefore the course of treatment recommended by Dr. Barnum will vary from patient to patient. Most commonly, Dr. Barnum will utilize specific chiropractic manipulation techniques to areas of restricted movement in the knee and surrounding joints. These manipulations can increase movement, improve function and reduce pain.
Inflammation is also reduced with ice and a customized rehabilitation and exercise program will be provided by Dr. Barnum. This individualized program will include rehabilitative exercises to complete at our facility, as well as the patient’s place of residence.

Hi, I am 68 years young thanks to Dr. Barnum and her gifted healing hands. Born with a conjoined L5-S1 nerve root causing lifelong sciatica pain, orthopedic care, traction, physical therapy, numerous treatments including nerve block no other chiropractor has helped me live as functional and pain free as she has. During almost 2 decades compounded by degenerative disk disease, cervical spinal surgery due to injuries from accidents the treatment with Dr. Barnum has prevented me from more invasive treatments and/or surgery. There were times I felt it was not possible that my body could ever feel well again but with her extraordinary patience and gift she healed me to be well again. Coming from a family, a sister, in San Francisco, whom herself is a chiropractor; it is an Honor to highly recommend this gifted chiropractor, Dr. Sharon Barnum as the most FANTABULOUS chiropractor in Monmouth/ Middlesex County, New Jersey. Been to numerous chiropractors in my lifetime but none like her. She is utterly amazing!!! God bless her, her family and us all in our journey to be well!

Since going to Dr. Barnum for over 16 years I must say she is simply the best. She is the most patient, empathetic and skilled chiropractor I have ever been to and I have been to at least 5 others in my lifetime. Her ability to see through my pain and understand when I am not myself is astounding. My gratitude can never be fully explained. Put simply, I love how she makes me feel whole again ever time she treats me. Thank you Dr. Barnum for your gift of healing.

I had been struggling for years with chronic neck and back pain, along with pinched nerves that were sending shooting pain and numbness down both arms. Simple things like driving, working at my desk, or even sleeping had become miserable. I tried everything—physical therapy, massages, medications—but nothing gave me lasting relief. From my very first visit, Dr. Barnum made a huge difference. She took the time to really listen to my concerns, performed a thorough evaluation, and created a personalized treatment plan that targeted the root causes of my issues. Her adjustments are gentle yet incredibly effective. After just a few sessions, I noticed a dramatic reduction in my pain and the pinched nerve symptoms started to fade. For the first time in a long time, I can move freely without that constant discomfort. Dr. Barnum is not only an outstanding chiropractor but also a compassionate and caring professional who genuinely wants her patients to feel better. She explains everything clearly, answers all questions, and makes you feel completely at ease. Her office staff is friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming. If you’re dealing with neck, back, or nerve pain, do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Dr. Barnum. She has truly improved my quality of life, and I am so grateful to have found her. Thank you, Dr. Barnum—you’re a miracle worker!

Today was my 5th day doing the treatment. From the first day that I came to see Dr. Sharon Barnum up to today, I feel so much better. Like I told her, my pain went down by 70-80%. I drive about 1.5hrs approximately and my muscles became so intense that pain meds don’t work anymore. I was in so much pain that I had to call out so often. And on March 26, I could not help it anymore. I needed some help and Dr. Barnum helped me so much to heal my neck, shoulder and back pain. Despite that she is out of network for me, I keep going because she really helps me.

I lived with severe shoulder pain for two years that significantly limited my mobility. I was convinced I would eventually need surgery, especially since I couldn’t pinpoint any specific injury that caused it. After just a few short months of treatment with Dr. Barnum, my shoulder completely healed. It’s now been a full year, and I still have zero pain or limitations. I truly feel amazing. Dr. Barnum is incredibly skilled- her adjustments on the back and neck leave you feeling brand new every time. My body is so grateful for her care. I won’t ever go anywhere else and I can’t wait to go back!
