Shoulder Pain
Understanding Shoulder Pain
Suffering from chronic shoulder pain can be a real detriment to the way you live your life. It can affect a variety of aspects in your life, whether it’s work, exercise, or just the everyday activities you like to get up to. You may think it’s something you just have to deal with, but there is a solution, and it may be simpler than you think. If you’re suffering from chronic shoulder pain related to shoulder injury, rotator cuff tears, shoulder degeneration, arthritis, or bursitis, our healing medicine treatments at Infinite Wellness Integrative Medical Center may be able to help. The shoulder is one of the most flexible joints in the body which make it one the most vulnerable. Here at Infinite Wellness, we want to help make sure the muscles involved in any shoulder movement are strong and balanced. This will help you avoid any shoulder injuries by building up the strength of the joint.
Rotator cuff injuries normally involve these muscles which can lead to shoulder pain. They include the:
- posterior musculature
- supraspinatus
- infraspinatus
- teres major and minor
- latissimus
If balance isn’t restored back to these muscles, shoulder pain is unenviable and will radiate up into the neck or into the arm.
The first step to properly treating any shoulder pain is to get an accurate evaluation. Our experts will sit down with you and discuss any pain you are experiencing to get a treatment plan started. Of course shoulder pain treatment plans can vary from patient to patient, but most cases of shoulder pain can be managed with nonsurgical therapies and healing medicine.
How Shoulder Pain Develops
Shoulder pain might be one of the most common ailments people who suffer from pain can experience, and it can greatly affect your everyday life. Shoulder pain can sometimes develop just from the wear and tear your body experiences when you live a more active lifestyle, or if your job requires you to do a lot of heavy lifting. But there are other ways shoulder pain can develop. Shoulder pain can develop as a result of a variety of conditions and scenarios, such as:
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Traumatic injury
- Bursitis
- Tendinitis
- Labral tear
- Rotator cuff tear
- Shoulder impingement
Any of these situations can lead to shoulder injury and the resulting pain in the shoulder. These conditions can cause more problems down the line if not treated properly. Daily pain caused by a shoulder injury can dramatically affect the way you live your life. Suffering from shoulder pain can impede your mobility by making it harder to lift things above your head and it can make every day life way more uncomfortable. Dealing with shoulder pain quickly is the best step you can take when it comes to getting your life back on track.
