Common Causes of Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can be either acute or chronic, arising from various causes:

Rotator Cuff Injury

The rotator cuff consists of four muscles that stabilize the shoulder and facilitate movement. Injuries can cause shoulder pain, arm weakness, difficulty reaching behind, and trouble sleeping. While mild injuries often heal on their own, physical therapy can help prevent recurrence and aid recovery in severe cases that require surgery.

Shoulder Impingement

This condition occurs when the rotator cuff tendons are pinched between the upper arm bone and the shoulder blade, causing debilitating pain, weakness, and restricted shoulder movement.

Arthritis

Arthritis can affect the shoulder joint, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness. Osteoarthritis is the most common type, but rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis can also impact the shoulder.

Tendinopathy

Overuse of the shoulder joint can lead to tendinopathy, causing inflammation of the tendons.

At Calibration Physical Therapy, we offer natural, effective treatments for shoulder pain that avoid medication or surgery. Our comprehensive assessment includes evaluating your range of motion, strength, coordination, and medical history to identify the cause of your pain.

We then create a personalized treatment plan, which may include:

Manual Therapy

Joint and soft-tissue mobilization, active release techniques, and posture correction help ease soft-tissue restrictions, improve circulation, and restore shoulder joint movement.

Personalized Exercise

Targeted shoulder exercises improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion. We practice these exercises during appointments and provide at-home exercise recommendations to accelerate recovery.

Electrical Stimulation (NEUBIE)

Our NEUBIE (Neuro-Bio-Electric) stimulator uses high-frequency, low-amplitude direct currents to reduce inflammation and pain around the shoulder joint non-invasively.

Dry Needling

Dry needling therapy targets trigger points within muscles to reduce shoulder pain, enhance blood flow, and improve mobility.
