Shoulder pain can be used by a variety of things, ranging from minor aches and pains caused by a pulled muscle to agonizing bone-on-bone friction caused by arthritis. It can also develop as a result of an injury, leaving you feeling as if your shoulder is frozen.
Shoulder pain can manifest itself in variety of ways, such as reaching for the top shelf to put away dishes or having difficulty finding a comfortable sleeping position
Impingement typically occurs because of abnormal movement and tracking of the humeral head as you lift your arm overhead. Pain typically occurs when lifting your arm at or above 90 degrees.
The two main forms of arthritis that affect the shoulder are osteroarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Both of these result in loss of motion, weakness to the shoulder muscles, and difficulty performing normal daily tasks. Rheumatoid arthritis occurs when the immune system decides to attack the membranes surrounding the shoulder joint experiences significant “wear and tear,” typically due to age or excessive overuse.
Tendonitis develops when a person’s shoulder joint is overworked, usually as a result of the physical demands of their job, overhead activity, or sport. Poor posture can cause tendinitis because it alters the balance of your shoulders and can cause tightness and weakness pitting you at risk of tendon injury. This cause the tendons to undergo ongoing inflammation, resulting in swelling and painful impingement when raising your arm.
Frozen Shoulder is characterized by a painful loss of shoulder motion as well as a tightening of the shoulder joint that severely restricts motion. Adhesive capsulitis is another name for it. If you arm has been in a cast or sling for a long time, or if you have been bedridden for a while, this condition can develop. some ethnicties are more predisposed, women from 40 -60 years of age tend to have more instances of this conditon that men.
Rotator cuff injuries, also known as “torn shoulders,” are commonly associated with deep shoulder pain, arm weakness, difficulty reaching behind the back, and difficulty sleeping due to pain. Surgery may be necessary depending on the severity and situation, but proper physiotherapy can often help reduce pain and restore rotator cuff strength without the need for surgery. Phsiotherapy will be an important part of the recovery process if surgery is required.
Physiotherapy is non-invasive, natural, and comfortable way to reduce shoulder pain without the use of invasive surgery. Our physiotherapists have treated a wide range of shoulder pain conditions, with many patients seeing significant improvement and comfort. We are committed to helping you regain mobility and function.
We will look at your range of motion, strength, coordination, medical history, joint mobility, and joint motion mechanics during your evaluation. Our physiotherapists will be able to create a customized treatment plan to manage and treat your shoulder pain once they have identified the source of your discomfort.
To aid in the restoration of normal joint movement, reduce soft tissue restrictions, and promote circulation, gentle manual therapy may be included in your treatment plan. Specific strength-building exercises and a proper muscle activation sequence around the shoulder point may also be included.
Physiotherapy will also teach you new ways to move your body in order to increase your strength and avoid future shoulder problems
