WHAT CAUSES SHOULDER PAIN?
You may think your shoulder is a single joint, but it’s actually comprised of several joints, plus tendons and muscles that make it possible to perform a wide range of motion. In fact, your shoulder is the most flexible joint on your body. Most shoulder pain can be linked to one of four causes:
Arthritis
Instability (partial or total dislocation)
Tendon tears or inflammation
Fractured or broken bones
Whether your shoulder pain suddenly popped up as the result of an injury or has been worsening over time, meeting with a shoulder pain specialist can help you identify the root cause of your discomfort.
WHAT CAN I DO TO TREAT SHOULDER PAIN?
Resting your shoulder, applying heat or ice, and taking over-the-counter anti-inflammatories can help you minimize your shoulder pain. However, if it continues more than a week after home care, and it impacts your ability to go about your daily life, it’s time to seek a professional.
We address a wide range of shoulder pain and can work with you to minimize your discomfort and help you enjoy your usual activities free from pain.
