Treatment for Shoulder Pain – Rotator Cuff Pathology or Osteoarthritis
The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body.
The shoulder is comprised of 3 bones, 3 main glenohumeral ligaments, 4 rotator cuff 
muscles, and other scapular stabilizers which allow for dynamic mobility. Although it is not as stable as the hip joint, it is much more flexible which allows for higher functional use. Shoulders are used to push, pull, reach, and lift on a daily basis. The shoulder joint is one of most commonly injured places in the body. Pain in this joint can be caused from a variety of reasons such as arthritis, rotator cuff pathology, or adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) just to name a few.
Step 1
Our team will perform a biomechanical evaluation of you and your joint to determine the cause of your pain using advanced medical imaging and special tests. Our team will then develop a treatment plan that best fits your needs.
Step 2
A lubricating injectable material will be introduced into the joint space. Our imaging equipment allows for precise guidance into the joint space in the exact location needed to provide the best results. We utilize ultrasound-guided and fluoroscope-guided injections onsite so nothing is ever performed blind to ensure you receive precise and effective results.
Step 3
Our Doctors of Physical Therapy and their team will work with you to help strengthen, mobilize, and restore your joints. This allows you to regain significant strength and function with decreased pain.
Step 4
Our cutting-edge taping and bracing treatment can realign, stabilize, and facilitate increased range of motion within the shoulder joint. These techniques allow the body to inhibit muscle spasms and increase range of motion to facilitate better movement with less pain.
Step 5
We will provide you the tools to prolong your new-found quality of life. A customized take home exercise plan will be designed for you that will reduce inflammation and enhance the success of your treatment on your own.
Step 6
Our staff will continue with detailed follow-ups to evaluate your pain level and function, as needed. We are always here for you to ensure your long term success so don’t hesitate to call or stop in with questions because our patients are the top priority.
