Treatment Options For Shoulder Pain

There are 4 different areas of the shoulder that create a joint. The main joint is the ball and socket joint that the humorous connects into. It also connects the clavicle, sternum, and acromion. It becomes even more complicated when the relationship with the cervical and thoracic spine is taken into consideration.

Pain is usually reported on the top portion between the neck and arm. This creates dysfunction in the spine as well as the shoulder itself. There are many tendons and ligaments that form this area and give it support. This makes the area susceptible to bursitis and tendonitis.

Orthopedic testing is critical in making an appropriate shoulder diagnosis. MRI will give an even more specific diagnosis. With the multitude of problems that can originate from this part of the body it is often difficult to determine the exact cause of one’s pain.

Many home-based exercise programs as well as conservative treatment such as chiropractic and ultrasound can be more effective than surgery. Surgery should always be the last option.
