Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain has become extremely common over recent years as a result of frequent computer and smartphone usage and increased sedentary lifestyle. Shoulder pain is often very complex. As a result, shoulder injuries can be more difficult to treat.
We at ONE HEALTH will work with you to determine the cause of your pain and decide on a course of treatment.
Common Shoulder injuries include:
-
rotator cuff tears
-
tendonitis
-
shoulder impingement (subacromial bursitis) – when shoulder tendons are trapped and compressed during shoulder movements
-
frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) – when the shoulder capsule swells and stiffens, restricting mobility
-
postural tension
-
referred pain
Symptoms of shoulder pain may include:
-
'catching' sensation when raising the arm or reaching
-
sharp pain when moving your arm
-
weakness in your arm or grip
-
throbbing and aching in shoulder whilst sleeping
-
pain radiating down the arm
-
neck and shoulder stiffness
We can help your shoulder pain by:
-
improving muscular flexibility in the shoulder area
-
improving range of joint motion in the mid back, neck, shoulder blade and shoulder
-
addressing postural strains and bad habits
-
providing advice on maintaining flexibility and strength around the shoulder region
-

We may also refer you to a GP for any additional medications or treatment.
