Shoulder Pain Treatment

When you have shoulder pain, it can affect your ability to perform everyday tasks and may result in a loss of sleep and other problems. The shoulder is comprised of a complex joint, muscles, tendons and nerves that affect arm and hand movement and dexterity. If you have shoulder pain, it can be caused by a variety of issues in the neck and shoulder. Our pain specialists at Medici Orthopaedics & Spine, with clinics located near Atlanta, will diagnose and treat shoulder pain, improving your quality of life.

Finding the exact cause of shoulder pain is crucial for successful treatment. While pain medications can mask shoulder discomfort, they can also allow a condition that needs treatment to become worse. Shoulder pain may be caused by pinched nerves, ligament tears, rotator cuff injuries or joint problems like arthritis. Discovering the source of the pain is the first step in creating an effective treatment plan to decrease pain and improve mobility in the shoulder and affected arm.
