Shoulder Pain

Dislocated Shoulders

While mostly happening to athletes, dislocation can occur to anyone. If your arm is jerked violently in any direction or you rotate/extend too far, the top of your arm can pop out of place. Besides arm immobility, dislocations are very painful to experience.

Treatment

Treatment is quick and easy as we’ll reinsert your shoulder joint into its socket. Once done, your shoulder will swell and remain sore for a few days. To combat this, rest the arm and be sure to ice the joint.

Frozen Shoulder

The condition has three unique stages: freezing, frozen, and thawing. Each step has its own set of symptoms.

Stage 1: Freezing

Stage 2: Frozen

Stage 3: Thawing

Treatment

Impingement

Impingement occurs when tendons become pinched between shoulder bones. Pinched tendons can be just as painful as a pinched nerve, causing you significant discomfort. The most likely cause of this is overhead arm movement, such as raising your hand or pitching.
