Try acupuncture. It works well for all kinds of chronic pain.
It depends on what is causing your chronic shoulder pain. I encourage you to try acupuncture.
If your shoulder pain is chronic, you will need multiple sessions per week for a period of time. Then you can decrease sessions to once a week once it is under control. You need a private consultation to discuss your pain issue.
From the perspective of Chinese medicine and acupuncture, the problem with these types of question is: only knowing a patient has chronic shoulder pain doesn't give me nearly enough information to know how I'm going to attempt to treat. I don't know what's wrong from either the standpoint of Chinese medicine or the standpoint of conventional medicine. Shoulders can be complicated and a good portion of the time the problem is actually in the neck or upper back. Without having some idea why this pain exists and where, precisely, it's coming from, I have no idea how I'm going to attempt to reduce or eliminate the issue.

In my experience, there are certain kinds of joint issue where the best solution is surgery. I don't know if your problem rises to this level of intervention.

Also in my experience, there are certain kinds of joint issue where acupuncture and Chinese medicine can provide significant relief, but the patient is probably looking at some form of long term maintenance - maybe monthly treatment, maybe a couple of times per year. Again, I don't know if your issue puts you in this space.

In my experience, there are other kind of joint issue where acupuncture and Chinese medicine can provide an apparently permanent fix. Don't know if this is where you are.

Lastly, in my experience, there are some joint issues where patients make the best progress using some combination of Chinese medicine and conventional medicine. And I have no idea if this is where you are.

Here's what I can tell you. The science behind acupuncture's effectiveness in pain management is virtually overwhelming. If a patient has any kind of pain, anywhere on the body, they are usually better off in the long run trying acupuncture first. If 3-5 sessions of acupuncture doesn't improve the problem then move on to other pain management options or consider combining acupuncture with some other pain management modality.

It's also important to understand that there are dramatically different training levels among providers offering 'acupuncture-like' services. For the best possible outcome you want to see someone who attended and graduated from a school of Chinese medicine, is nationally board certified in acupuncture, and is licensed by your state as an acupuncturist. Generally speaking, chiropractors and physical therapists do not have these qualifications and credentials. To find nationally board certified acupuncturists in your area, go to NCCAOM.org and use their 'Find a Practitioner' lookup.
