ARE YOU CONSTANTLY TAKING PAIN MEDICATION FOR YOUR SHOULDER PAIN?

Constantly taking pain medication to relieve your Shoulder pain symptoms is NOT a solution. Nor is the quick fix of a steroid injection. These interventions only serve to mask the problem. Treating the CAUSE of the pain is the only long term and healthy solution. 

COMMON CAUSES OF YOUR SHOULDER PAIN:

Traumatic injuries can result in dislocation. While more complicated causes such as biomechanical problems and muscle weakness can lead to impaired movement and pain. BUT the 2 most common causes of shoulder pain we see are:

IMPINGEMENT:

Repetitive or stressful actions of the shoulder result in the tendons becoming trapped and irritated. This altered function and mechanics leads to poor movement patterns pain and inflammation. 

TENDONITIS

Overuse and weakness in the suportive muscles ( Rotator Cuff) lead to inflammation and pain of the tendon.

It is essential to diagosis WHY these structures are being irritated if long term results are to be achieved.
