Shoulder Pain Relief

Are you experiencing a painful loss of motion and a tightness of the shoulder joint? You might have a condition known as “frozen shoulder”, causing restriction in movement. This syndrome can occur if your arm has been in a cast or sling for a long time or if you have been bedridden.

Shoulder soreness, arm weakness, difficulties reaching behind the back, and sleeping problems are all symptoms of rotator cuff injury.

Physical therapy can often help to relieve discomfort and improve strength without the need for surgery. However, if surgery is required, physical therapy will be an important part of the recovery process.

The two most frequent kinds of arthritis that affect the shoulder are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Both result in shoulder muscle weakness, making it difficult to execute daily tasks.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to target the membranes that surround the shoulder joint. Discomfort and inflammation are symptoms of this illness.

Tendinitis is inflammation in the shoulder joint. When tendons become inflamed over time, tendinitis will cause swelling and severe impingement when you raise your arm.

Poor posture contributes to tendinitis because it disrupts the equilibrium of your shoulders and causes tension and weakness.

When you elevate your arm upward, aberrant movement and tracking of the humeral head causes impingement. When you lift your arm to a 90-degree angle or higher, you will experience pain.

When the cartilage in the shoulder joint breaks down sufficiently, osteoarthritis occurs. This is mainly due to old age or excessive use. Our physical therapy clinic in Somerset, NJ can help you with both of these problems!
