Physiotherapy for Shoulder Pain
Hello, I am Eileen Lewis, I have a BSc in Physiotherapy and also am a qualified Acupuncturist with over 20 years experience. This month I am going to cover shoulder pain.
Problems with the shoulder may cause pain in the upper arm, the shoulder blade, neck or the shoulder joint itself. Stiffness and sometimes pins and needles in the hand or arm may also be experienced. The symptoms may be of sudden onset, as a result of injury, or more often of slow onset with no history of trauma. Shoulder pain of slow onset, can be caused by performing repetitive tasks, or continually adopting poor postural habits.
There are many structures around the shoulder joint that may cause pain. Symptoms may originate
from the tendons of the surrounding muscles or the bursa, causing restriction and pain with specific movements such as reaching forwards, out to the side whilst lifting, or above shoulder height whilst reaching for something. The capsule of the shoulder joint may be the source of symptoms, sometimes it becomes contracted restricting movement and causing pain commonly known as a Frozen Shoulder. Arthritis around the shoulder joint causing degeneration and extra bone to be laid down may also cause symptoms.
Physiotherapy treatment may involve advice on ergonomics, posture, returning to sport or everyday activities, mobilizing or strengthening exercises, joint mobilizations, soft tissue massagetype work, ultrasound or acupuncture.
So if you have shoulder pain and these symptoms sound all too familiar, then give me a call on 01234 881 400 have a look at my website or email me eileen@bedfordphysio.co.uk, I look forward to helping you.
