SHOULDER PAIN ADELAIDE
Your shoulder is a highly mobile joint, composed of tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and bones, all of which are prone to injury with activity and sports.
People experiencing shoulder pain may be suffering from a variety of conditions such as bursitis, tendinitis, osteoarthritis, or degenerative arthritis.
Shoulder pain can also be caused by sports injuries, poor posture or other accidents, and those over the age of 50 are especially susceptible to developing rotator cuff tendon tears.
Symptoms of shoulder pain can range from mild to severe, and may disturb physical activity and sleep.
Pain, weakness, and a loss of range of motion are all symptoms of a shoulder injury.
Those who participate in high-risk sports, those whose jobs involve physical labor or older adults are all at a higher risk for a painful shoulder injury.
There are many different treatment methods available for shoulder pain, most of which offer helpful yet short-term solutions.
If you are looking for a long-term solution that will help heal your shoulder, our Strong Shoulders Program may be the right choice for you.
