Shoulder Pain Treatment in Fort Lauderdale
Your shoulder is the most complex joint in the body, and when you have shoulder pain, it can arise from many different issues. You may have a problem in the actual joint or in one of the muscles, ligaments, or tendons that make up your rotator cuff (the structure that holds your shoulder joint in place and gives the joint a wide range of motion).
Your shoulder pain can result from an acute injury, overuse, or even bad posture. Some of the most common conditions that cause shoulder pain include:
- Bursitis
- Disc Lesions ie: bulging or herniated
- Dislocation
- Frozen shoulder
- Impingement
- Osteoarthritis
- Rotator cuff injury
- Sprains and strains
- Tendonitis
How can you prevent shoulder pain?
If you’ve had shoulder pain before or play a sport where shoulder injuries are common, such as baseball or swimming, there are things you can do to protect your joint and reduce your risk of developing chronic shoulder pain.
We may recommend:
