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.
