Shoulder Pain Relief
Shoulder pain is a common complaint that can limit your range of motion and make even simple tasks difficult. Conditions such as rotator cuff injuries, impingement syndrome, frozen shoulder, and thoracic outlet syndrome can lead to chronic pain and stiffness, affecting your daily activities and quality of life.
Our physical therapy clinic in Efland, NC, specializes in treating these conditions, helping you find relief and get back to living pain-free.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
-
Rotator Cuff Injuries: Tears, strains, and inflammation in the rotator cuff—a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder—can cause significant pain, weakness, and limited range of motion. Rotator cuff injuries are often caused by overuse, trauma, or degenerative changes over time.
-
Impingement Syndrome: Shoulder impingement occurs when the rotator cuff or bursa becomes compressed during arm movement, leading to inflammation and pain, especially with overhead activities.
-
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): This condition causes the shoulder joint capsule to thicken and tighten, restricting movement. It typically progresses through stages of increasing stiffness and pain, often affecting adults between 40-60 years old.
-
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS): TOS involves compression of nerves or blood vessels between the collarbone and first rib, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the shoulder, arm, and hand. It may be due to repetitive activities, poor posture, or physical trauma.
How Our Physical Therapy Clinic Can Help Relieve Shoulder Pain
Our physical therapists are skilled in diagnosing and treating a wide range of shoulder conditions. At our Efland clinic, we create tailored programs to address the specific causes of your shoulder pain, including:
-
Strengthening and Stabilization Exercises: Targeted exercises build strength and stability in the rotator cuff and surrounding muscles, helping to support and protect the shoulder joint.
-
Manual Therapy: Techniques such as joint mobilizations, soft tissue massage, and myofascial release help relieve tension, improve circulation, and enhance mobility.
-
Postural and Biomechanical Correction: For issues like thoracic outlet syndrome, our therapists focus on improving posture and movement patterns to reduce compression on nerves and blood vessels.
-
Range of Motion and Stretching Exercises: Gradual stretching can be especially helpful for frozen shoulder and impingement, improving flexibility and reducing stiffness.
By addressing the underlying causes of shoulder pain, we help patients regain strength, improve mobility, and enjoy a full range of activities without discomfort.
