What is the Best Shoulder Pain Treatment for Me?

If you’re wondering, “Which doctor should I see for shoulder pain?” make sure you meet with an interventional pain doctor. This type of shoulder specialist uses minimally invasive pain treatments for shoulder pain, and only advises shoulder surgery when it’s medically necessary. Common pain conditions like shoulder impingement, shoulder pain in the shoulder blade, and shoulder pain when reaching behind your back are easily treated with pain medicine. All of the board certified doctors at Pain Treatment Specialists are interventional pain doctors, and specialize in using pain medicine for shoulder pain relief.

One of the most effective treatments for shoulder pain is a steroid injection. During this procedure, your pain doctor administers medicine in your shoulder bursa area, which is right above the tendon. The medicine delivered is a corticosteroid, which reduces pain and swelling in your shoulder and increases your range of motion. This also allows you enough pain relief to visit with a physical therapist in conjunction with your pain treatments.

Viscosupplementation is another effective treatment used at our pain clinics. This procedure adds hyaluronic acid to your shoulder joint, which is the main component of joint fluid. Hyaluronic acid gives joint fluid its slippery, viscous quality and helps improve your shoulder’s mobility.

What happens if you’re saying, “I fell on my arm and it hurts really bad?” If you believe that you’ve suffered an upper arm injury, or are in an excruciating amount of pain, visiting an emergency clinic is best to rule out a fracture or separation.

No matter what type of shoulder pain you’re experiencing, the team at Pain Treatment Specialists have an effective treatment for you. Book an appointment today and begin feeling better quickly.

Why Do My Neck and My Shoulder Hurt?

Neck and shoulder pain go hand in hand, since your shoulders support both your neck and your head. When your shoulder muscles and tendons are sore, then your neck picks up the slack for providing upper body stability. This creates additional stress and tension on your neck in addition to your shoulder pain. If you’re experiencing neck and shoulder pain, here are some common causes:

  • Rotator Cuff Tendonitis: This condition is marked by the overuse or injury of the tendons connecting the muscles and bones in the shoulder. Common symptoms of this condition include shoulder stiffness, pain when trying to touch your back, pain when raising or lowering your arm, and a clicking sound when raising your arm.
  • Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: Injury and aging are often causes of shoulder impingement, which is pain caused by a tendon rubbing on your shoulder blade.  You might feel consistent pain, or increased pain when lifting objects or reaching for items.
  • Rotator Cuff Tears: An acute rotator cuff tear typically happens as the result of a fall or accident, while a chronic rotator cuff tear is caused by repetitive motions or overhead lifting. This pain often becomes worse as you sleep, and makes it difficult to raise your arm to the side.

In order to find the proper diagnosis for your shoulder pain, your pain doctor listens carefully to your experiences, completes a gentle physical examination and orders more imaging tests if needed. At Pain Treatment Specialists, our team is prepared to properly diagnose the cause of your shoulder pain,and also provide effective solutions for fixing it.

Why Should I Avoid Surgery for Shoulder Pain?

Shoulder pain is easily treatable with pain medicine. This should be your first course of treatment before considering shoulder surgery. This is because shoulder surgery is painful and invasive, requiring time off of work and a lot of help once you return home. You won’t be able to drive or complete other tasks independently for 4-8 weeks, which means your friends and family will need to provide a lot of extra assistance. Opioids are also prescribed for your recovery, since the surgery is painful. These powerful narcotics are highly addictive, and should be avoided whenever possible.

Don’t let shoulder pain derail your painting projects! Contact the shoulder specialists at Pain Treatment Specialists for minimally invasive shoulder pain treatments that provide effective and long-lasting pain relief.
