Why can’t I figure out how to treat my shoulder pain?

Shoulders: We carry the weight of the world on them, but don’t spend a lot of time trying to figure out how complex they really are. The positive aspect of this complexity is that your shoulders allow your body to undertake an amazing range of activities. On the downside, when something goes wrong with one or both of them, it can be complicated to treat on your own.

Specifically, each one of your shoulders is made up of four joints, which are connected not only to one another but form the connecting unit to your shoulder blades, collarbone, and upper arms. Because of this interdependence, any problem with your shoulder often means trouble performing functions that require almost any kind of upper-body mobility.

What causes shoulder pain?

The causes of shoulder problems can stem from a sudden injury, a lifetime of poor posture, or conditions that weaken the joint tissues. These conditions include various forms of arthritis and other inflammatory disorders.

Aggravating injuries include shoulder dislocations, broken arms, and rotator cuff tears. In addition, shoulders are a source for problems with other parts of your body, so that even heart disease or gallbladder problems can show up as “referred pain” in your shoulders.

What does physical therapy do to stop shoulder pain and stiffness?

Our highly trained physical therapists work with you on a variety of stretching and rehabilitation techniques to bring pain-free mobility back to your shoulder. A complete evaluation will verify exactly where the problem is, as well as its severity.

To be most effective, most physical therapy for shoulder pain will incorporate strength and flexibility throughout the entire shoulder range of motion. Stretching is key to improving flexibility. Your physical therapist will also demonstrate and talk you through stretching techniques, as well as gently manipulate your shoulder joint.

For building strength, your physical therapy may involve some form of resistance training with free weights or resistance bands.
