The shoulder joint is one of the most mobile yet complex joints in the body. Shoulder pain can result from rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, or nerve impingement. Repetitive motions, trauma, or aging-related wear and tear often contribute to shoulder discomfort.
Symptoms include stiffness, limited range of motion, weakness, and difficulty in lifting objects or performing overhead movements. Inflammatory conditions like frozen shoulder can cause progressive pain and stiffness, while rotator cuff tears may result in weakness and persistent discomfort.
Treatment approaches include physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, and regenerative therapies like PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections. Surgery may be recommended for severe cases.
At Solace Pain and Spine Management, we offer effective, non-surgical pain management options to restore shoulder function and ease discomfort.
