Causes of Shoulder Pain

Injury or Trauma

Shoulder pain can result from a fall or an impact that causes injury to the shoulder or arm. Dislocated shoulder, fractures, and muscle sprains are common injuries that can cause shoulder pain. These injuries can be extremely painful and can limit shoulder movement.

Arthritis

Arthritis is a common condition that causes inflammation of the joints. Shoulder arthritis may be caused by wear and tear over time or inflammation of the joint lining. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition that affects joint cartilage and causes pain and stiffness.

Frozen Shoulder and Other Medical Conditions

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition where the soft tissue around the shoulder joint becomes thick and tight. Medical conditions such as tendonitis, bursitis, and shoulder impingement can also cause shoulder pain.

At Shoreham Osteopathy Centre, we understand that shoulder pain can be caused by a variety of factors. Our team of expert osteopaths uses a patient-centered approach to determine the underlying cause of your shoulder pain and develop a personalized treatment plan to manage your symptoms in the most effective way possible.

Osteopathy as a Treatment for Shoulder Pain

How does Osteopathy Help Shoulder Pain?

At Shoreham Osteopathy Centre, we specialize in treating shoulder pain using osteopathy techniques. Our experienced team of osteopaths uses hands-on manual therapy to identify and treat the underlying cause of your shoulder pain. Osteopathy aims to improve joint mobility, reduce muscle tension, and alleviate pain.

During an osteopathy session, our osteopaths will assess your medical history and examine your shoulder joint’s range of motion. They will then use gentle manual techniques such as massage, stretching, and joint mobilization to improve circulation, promote healing, and restore the shoulder’s natural function.

Our personalized treatment plans focus on the individual, ensuring that we identify and address the underlying cause of shoulder pain, whether it’s due to injury, arthritis, or other medical conditions.
