Shoulder pain treatment can include osteopathic manipulation, exercises, stretches, and other therapies to mitigate symptoms like pain, loss of mobility, numbness, and tingling sensations.
Shoulder pain can take many forms and can be caused by a variety of different factors. The pain can occur in the shoulder joint, any of the deltoid muscles, and the ligaments and tendons. It’s a common type of pain, since the shoulders are such an important part of most daily activities and can be subject to overuse and injury. While many instances of shoulder pain pass within a few days, some cases can become chronic and last for many years if they are not properly treated.
Shoulder pain can come from problems with the rotator cuff, usually due to overuse or strain. In addition, problems with the joint between the shoulder and collarbone can sometimes occur. Pain may also arise due to swelling in the area, stiffness of the tissue surrounding the shoulder joint, or loss of cartilage. Injuries like dislocation can also create this pain.
Most pain in the shoulder can resolve itself, but the healing process can take time. Osteopathic care can help to expedite that healing and more effectively manage pain and other related symptoms.
