Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain symptoms are tough and stressful. Lack of mobility may lead to increasing problems with instability or impingement which really just means – increased pain. So many shoulder conditions can be aggravated by specific everyday activities we do

Shoulder pain can also be relieved by specific activities, so connecting with a physical therapist at PRO Therapy as soon as you’re noticing restrictions or pain is an important step in your road to recovery.

Common Shoulder Pain Causes

We want to help you get to the root cause of your shoulder pain. A full assessment is key to telling us which cause is impacting you most. Here’s a list of some shoulder pain causes you may be experiencing:

  • Pain, swelling or stiffness around the shoulder
  • Decreased range of motion
  • Weakness with movement or inability to move the shoulder
  • Disruption with your sleep
    A Rotator Cuff Injury is most often caused by progressive wear and tear of the tendon tissue over time. Pain associated with a rotator cuff injury can be described as a dull ache deep in the shoulder making it difficult to do everyday tasks

    Another common shoulder pain is brought about by a broken bone – Also known as a shoulder fracture is a partial or complete break in one of the shoulder bones. Shoulder fractures are common to the collarbone, upper arm and shoulder blade. This can cause pain, swelling, bruising, and limited mobility in the shoulder

    Shoulder Pain Treatment

    At PRO Therapy, our team of experienced physical therapists is dedicated to providing effective and personalized solutions for shoulder pain. With a wide range of techniques at our disposal, we can help you alleviate discomfort, restore function, and improve your overall quality of life.

    One of our specialized approaches is cupping, which involves placing cups on the skin to create suction and enhance blood flow. This technique can help reduce muscle tension, promote healing, and alleviate pain. Additionally, dry needling uses thin needles to release trigger points and alleviate muscle tightness. This can often be combined with electrical stimulation for added pain relief.

    To provide support and stability, we utilize kinesio taping. This involves applying specialized elastic tape to the skin in specific patterns to aid in muscle support and joint stabilization without restricting movement. Another technique we employ is the Graston Technique, which utilizes stainless steel instruments to identify and address areas of muscle tightness and scar tissue.

    Beyond these manual therapy techniques, we also focus on functional training to simulate real-life movements and improve overall performance. Our therapists will create custom rehabilitation programs tailored to your specific needs, incorporating exercises to strengthen muscles, enhance flexibility, and restore function. Furthermore, we provide guidance on activity modification and return to sport to help you safely progress your activity level and reduce the risk of re-injury.

    At PRO Therapy, our goal is to empower you to live a pain-free life. By addressing the root causes of your shoulder pain and providing comprehensive treatment, we can help you achieve long-term relief and improve your overall well-being. If you’re struggling with shoulder pain and stiffness, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team of experts. We’re here to help you find the relief you deserve.

    The PRO Therapy Difference

    At PRO Therapy, our goal is to empower you to live a pain-free life by addressing the root causes of your shoulder pain and providing comprehensive treatment tailored to your unique needs.

    If you’re suffering from shoulder pain and stiffness, it’s easy to hope that it will go away on its own. You might think you just slept awkwardly, or it’s just a spasm, or that everyone your age has neck pain.

    If you’re experiencing neck pain and don’t know what caused it, everything you’ve tried isn’t working and you’re fed up – you’ve come to the right place. As a matter of fact, general shoulder pain is one of the most common concerns that we hear about at PRO Therapy.

    The difference between seeing one of our physical therapists and seeing your primary care doctor or another type of provider is that a Doctor of Physical Therapy is more specialized in assessing causes of pain and stiffness.

    In just a couple of sessions, we can often dial down your pain and stiffness and get you feeling better fast.

    Since my treatment, pain and mobility have greatly improved. Very appreciative of all the help.

    I had two different doctors working with me and both were very good. They listen, have you try different moves, and are able to proceed to plan.

    Excellent place with great people. Go to this place.
    Dr. Lily met me where I was (post a major surgery and really weak - like barely able to stand/walk) with respect and accommodation. I was always challenged but at a safe pace. It took me a few months to see it, but they were working on the long game all the time and it paid off. I'm really happy with my recovery.

    *p.s. - Don't be intimidated by the super hulk weight machines. I kinda was but almost nobody uses those. They utilize all sorts of un-intimidating equipment. Also, the location seems odd at first but it turns out to be very convenient.

    I'll go back if I ever need more PT. 100%

    I found PRO Therapy shortly after tearing my ACL at the beginning of the year. From the Pre-Op PT, to now 7 months post op and 50+ appointments, I could not be happier with where Dr. Kelvyn and Dr. Lily have gotten me back to. I highly recommend PRO to anyone looking for PT in the Twin Cities!

    I self referred myself to PRO Therapy because of the 5 star rating and I'm so glad I did!

    Dr. Kelvyn and Jen were so easy to work. Everyone I saw at the office was very nice too. I worked on my hips and shoulders this year and feel confident I can continue making progress post "graduation" because of the knowledge and exercises that Dr. Kelvyn shared with me!

    Overall, I would highly recommend. Thank you PRO Therapy for a great experience 🙂
