Shoulder Pain Treatment

Chronic Shoulder Pain Treatment

The first treatment for shoulder pain usually calls for:

Resting the injured shoulder for two days
Using an ice pack on the injured region for 20 minutes, four to eight times daily
Compressing the area with elastic bandages
Elevating the injured shoulder above the level of the heart
Taking pain medications containing an anti-inflammatory
Treatment by a physical therapist

Neck and Shoulder Pain Treatment

The same rules apply as those mentioned above for treating chronic shoulder pain. If an injury is more serious, a hospital stay and a visit with an orthopedist (a bone and joint specialist) may be necessary.

Severe Shoulder Pain Treatment

Treating severe shoulder pain involves following the steps above, and possibly adding a splint or cast to immobilize the area. More emphasis is placed on treatment in the hospital and by an orthopedist. Arthroscopic surgery and follow-up care may be recommended.

Frozen Shoulder Pain Treatment

Frozen shoulder is known medically as adhesive capsulitis. Its causes are not well known. The condition occurs when the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint contracts and scar tissue is formed. This leads to immobility of the shoulder. Treatment for frozen shoulder usually involves relieving pain and doing physical therapy.

Decreasing the pain may require:

Taking anti-inflammatory medications
Receiving cortisone injections that help relieve pain and enable the patient to continue exercise and physical therapy

Physical therapy, meaning not only working with the therapist at the office but also exercising at home, is considered essential in the treatment of frozen shoulder. The physical therapist:

Helps the patient develop a stretching and exercise program
Uses other treatment measures including application of heat, ice, and ultrasound

It is especially important that the patient continue to exercise at home between visits to the physical therapist.

Burning Shoulder Pain Treatment

Causes of burning shoulder pain may include tendonitis, bursitis, rotator cuff injury, osteoporosis, gall bladder disease, fibromyalgia, shingles, heart attack, improper sleeping position and other poor postures.

Before you consult an orthopedist, you may try some of the remedies for burning shoulder:

Massage therapy
Pressure for 15 to 30 seconds on the trapezius muscle
Application of an ice pack or heat pad for 15 to 20 minutes several times daily
Muscle stretching and strengthening exercises
Over-the-counter pain medications

If these treatments are unsuccessful, you might need to visit an orthopedist. Contact a shoulder pain pump lawyer if your injuries were caused by or worsened after using a shoulder pain pump.
