Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain refers to discomfort in or around the shoulder joint, including the muscles, tendons, or ligaments that support it. It can range from a mild ache to sharp pain and may limit arm movement or shoulder rotation.

Common causes include rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, or shoulder dislocation. Treatment depends on the underlying issue and may involve rest, physiotherapy, medications, or surgical intervention in severe cases.

Services:

We offer a comprehensive range of services for shoulder pain, including:

  • Diagnostic Evaluation: Our team utilizes advanced diagnostic techniques, such as imaging tests and physical examination, to accurately diagnose the underlying cause of shoulder pain. We take the time to listen to your concerns, conduct a thorough assessment, and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.
  • Non-surgical Treatment: Many cases of shoulder pain can be effectively managed with conservative, non-surgical treatments. These may include rest, ice therapy, compression, physical therapy, stretching exercises, activity modification, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, and regenerative medicine techniques such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures: In some cases, minimally invasive procedures such as arthroscopic surgery may be recommended to address underlying structural issues within the shoulder joint, such as rotator cuff tears, labral tears, or loose bodies. These procedures are performed using small incisions and specialized instruments, resulting in less tissue damage and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.
  • Surgical Intervention: For severe or persistent cases of shoulder pain that do not respond to conservative treatments, surgical intervention may be necessary. Our team offers a variety of surgical procedures, including rotator cuff repair, shoulder stabilization surgery, shoulder replacement surgery, and arthroscopic debridement, to address the underlying cause of shoulder pain and restore function.
  • What are the common causes of shoulder pain?
    Shoulder pain can result from various underlying conditions, including rotator cuff injuries, shoulder impingement syndrome, arthritis, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), bursitis, tendonitis, shoulder dislocation, shoulder instability, and fractures. It can also occur due to overuse, repetitive strain, trauma, or underlying medical conditions.
  • How is shoulder pain diagnosed?
    Diagnosis of shoulder pain typically involves a comprehensive evaluation by a healthcare professional, including a physical examination, medical history review, and may include imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI scans, or ultrasound to assess the structure of the shoulder joint and identify any underlying abnormalities or injuries.
  • What are the treatment options for shoulder pain?
    Treatment for shoulder pain depends on the underlying cause, severity of symptoms, and individual patient factors. Non-surgical treatment options may include rest, activity modification, ice therapy, physical therapy, stretching exercises, strengthening exercises, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, and regenerative medicine techniques. In some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to address underlying structural issues or injuries within the shoulder joint.
  • How long does it take to recover from shoulder pain?
    The recovery time for shoulder pain varies depending on factors such as the underlying cause, severity of symptoms, type of treatment received, and individual patient factors. Mild cases of shoulder pain may improve with conservative treatments within a few weeks to a few months, while more severe or chronic cases may require longer recovery periods or ongoing management to maintain symptom relief.
  • Can shoulder pain be prevented?
    While not all cases of shoulder pain can be prevented, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk, including maintaining good posture, practicing proper lifting techniques, avoiding repetitive overhead activities, incorporating shoulder-strengthening exercises into your fitness routine, using ergonomic equipment, and seeking prompt medical attention for any new or worsening shoulder pain.
