Shoulder pain treatment in Balsall Common

Reaching, lifting overhead, or the ache that wakes you when you roll onto it.

You noticed it reaching into the back seat. Then putting a coat on. Then it started waking you when you rolled onto that side, which is the bit that really wears you down.

You've adapted without deciding to. You get things down from the top shelf with the other arm now. You've stopped swimming, or you've stopped the overhead work at the gym and told yourself you'll go back to it.

Shoulders are patient with you for a long time and then suddenly they aren't.

Shoulder pain treatment in Balsall Common

Understanding shoulder pain

Your shoulder trades stability for range. It's the most mobile joint in the body, and it manages that by relying on muscle control rather than bony fit.

So when the rotator cuff or the muscles around the shoulder blade lose capacity, the joint stops moving the way it should and tissue gets irritated. That's the most common story by some distance.

Shoulder pain can also come from the neck, which is why we check both. Getting the source right saves a lot of time doing exercises for the wrong problem.

The common shoulder problems we see

Rotator cuff related shoulder pain. The most common one. Aching on reaching or lifting, often worse overhead and at night.
Frozen shoulder. Progressive stiffness with real loss of movement, often with a painful few months before the stiff phase.
Shoulder instability. A sense that it might slip, usually after a dislocation or in people with very mobile joints.
Acromioclavicular joint problems. Pain right on the top of the shoulder, often after a fall onto it.
Referred pain from the neck. Shoulder symptoms with a neck that isn't behaving is a combination worth checking properly.

Keeping your shoulder strong

Build strength through the rotator cuff and the muscles that hold the shoulder blade in place.
Introduce overhead work gradually if you've been away from it.
Get moving early after a shoulder injury. Shoulders stiffen up faster than most joints.
Look after your neck and upper back. They have more to do with shoulder movement than people expect.
Take night pain seriously as an early sign rather than something to sleep around.
