What is shoulder pain?
Shoulder pain can come from a variety of sources, ranging from muscle strain to arthritis.
Regardless of the source, shoulder pain can be extremely debilitating, making it difficult
to
perform everyday tasks.
At our clinic, we see a lot of patients who are dealing with shoulder pain. We work with each
patient to determine the source of their pain and develop a treatment plan that will help
them
find relief.
One of the most common causes of shoulder pain is rotator cuff tendinitis. This condition is
caused by inflammation of the tendons around the shoulder joint. Treatment for rotator cuff
tendinitis typically includes rest, ice, and physical therapy.
Another common cause of shoulder pain is impingement syndrome. This occurs when the bones in
the
shoulder joint rub against each other, causing irritation and inflammation. Treatment for
impingement syndrome often includes exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles around
the
shoulder joint.
If you are dealing with shoulder pain, contact our office to schedule an appointment. We will
work with you to determine the source of your pain and develop a treatment plan that will
help
you find relief.
