Done With Treatments That Don’t Last? Get Help From Shoulder Pain Experts Who Help You Finally Get The Results You Want!
Living with stubborn shoulder pain means doing less of what you love, avoiding your active lifestyle, and feeling unsure about whether or not it will ever get better. The good news is that you’re not alone, because most people will struggle with shoulder pain sooner or later – and they beat it! While that doesn’t make your shoulder pain any easier to live with right now, it should give you some hope that you can also make a full recovery with the right help.
Maybe you’ve tried a lot of different at-home treatments for your shoulder pain like stretching out your shoulder, foam rolling or a massage gun, and visiting your favorite chiropractor – without getting the lasting relief that you hoped for. While treatments like these can usually get short-term relief, they rarely last, putting you back into a vicious cycle of pain and frustration.
But don’t give up hope, because you can get relief that lasts for your shoulder pain and live an active lifestyle again with the right help.
Introduction: Shoulder Pain Basics & How Our Specialists Can Help>
Shoulder pain is common, but it can still stop you from doing what you love and put important parts of your life on hold. Constantly adjusting your posture, feeling like you need to stretch your arm, avoiding exercise, and taking pain killers are all common signs that it’s time to get help for your shoulder pain.
Your shoulder pain is probably the most pronounced at your shoulder itself, but the true source of your pain may be somewhere in your shoulder, arm, back, neck, or a combination of these different areas. Knowing what the root causes of your pain are – and how to treat them – is the secret to getting lasting results for your shoulder pain.
The Doctors of Physical Therapy (DPT) is a group of seasoned shoulder pain specialists in Scottsdale AZ with expertise in helping people get relief from their pain and get back to doin what they love. We’ll help you discover and treat the root causes of your shoulder pain, so you can live your life with more confidence and more freedom.
Understanding Your Shoulder Pain: Common Causes
No matter the exact source of your shoulder pain, it should be addressed quickly by experts who can get you the best treatment possible. Here are a few of the most common causes of shoulder pain that we help our patients with at The Doctors of Physical Therapy in Scottsdale.
Tendinitis is a very common condition that can affect many of the muscles and tendons that support your shoulder. Most often caused by repetitive activities like carrying and lifting, tendinitis can cause pain with even light activities. Building an effective treatment plan starts with knowing which of your tendons is irritated and needs to be treated.
Muscle Strains are something most of us are familiar with, and they usually happen in the shoulder after an intense or awkward lift or throw. Some of the most common shoulder muscles strained are the pec and biceps.
Rotator Cuff and Labral Tears are notoriously difficult causes of shoulder pain that happen because of a tear in the muscles of the rotator cuff or the pad that lines your shoulder socket (your labrum). Both of these conditions can happen suddenly during an injury or gradually over time, and in both cases getting the right help quickly is essential to making a recovery.
Arthritis is common in older adults who have shoulder pain, yet it can also develop in younger people who have very physical jobs or play a lot of high-impact sports. In the case that arthritis is the cause of your shoulder pain, starting a comprehensive care plan quickly is the best way to slow down progression and get more healthy years out of your shoulder.
Muscle Imbalances can happen to anyone, but they’re especially common for those with repetitive jobs or sports, like computer work or tennis. Muscle imbalances should be taken seriously because they can lead to certain areas of your shoulder taking on excess stress, causing inflammation and pain.
To make the most of your effort in beating your shoulder pain, you need state-of-the-art care from leading experts in shoulder pain who customize your care to your lifestyle.
