Pain Management for Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain is any pain in or around the shoulder joint. Swelling, damage, or changes to the joint can cause shoulder pain. It can affect mobility and make performing daily activities difficult. The good news is our pain management physicians may be able to treat your shoulder pain with conservative, non-surgical options.

Causes of Shoulder Pain

Any injury to the shoulder can cause shoulder pain. Any degenerative disease in the shoulder can also cause pain. Causes may include:

• Arthritis
• Bursitis
• Dislocation
• Separation
• Frozen shoulder
• Overuse
• Nerve injury
• Posture

Shoulder Pain Treatment

We always recommend conservative, non-surgical treatment options first. Those may include:

• Rest
• Anti-inflammatory medications
• Physical therapy
• Medication management
• Steroid injections
• Nerve blocks

If non-surgical treatments don’t help, surgery may be recommended.
