How An Osteopath Treats Shoulder Pain

By finding the root cause, treating and then creating a plan to keep you pain free…

Six common causes of Shoulder Pain

There are many causes of shoulder pain; here are some of the most common ones:

  • Injury or trauma: Frozen shoulder can occur after an injury to the shoulder joint, such as a rotator cuff tear or fracture.
  • Age: People between 40 and 60 are at higher risk of developing frozen shoulder.
  • Systemic disease: Conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disease, or Parkinson’s disease can lead to frozen shoulder.
  • Immobility: Prolonged immobilization of the shoulder joint, such as being in a cast or sling for an extended period, can cause frozen shoulder.
  • Labral Tear: This is an injury to the labrum—the fibrocartilaginous rim surrounding the shoulder socket—caused by trauma or repetitive motion.
  • Overuse: Repetitive use of the shoulder joint, such as throwing a ball or lifting weights, can lead to frozen shoulder.

Shoulder pain explained

Shoulder pain is a common complaint and can be caused by any number of conditions, such as injury or inflammation. It can range from mild to severe and may be felt in one part of the shoulder or throughout the entire joint area. Shoulder pain may also include limited mobility or difficulty performing certain movements. In some cases, shoulder pain may also radiate down the arm or into the neck.

How does an Osteopath treat shoulder pain?

An Osteopath may use manipulation, massage, and various stretching techniques to reduce tension in the muscles of the shoulder joint. An osteopath will also assess posture and biomechanics of the shoulder joint in order to address any muscular imbalances or areas of restricted movement. This can help reduce pain and improve mobility. An Osteopath may also provide advice on exercises and lifestyle changes to improve shoulder health over time.

How long does it typically take to recover from shoulder pain when treated by an Osteopath?

The amount of time needed to recover from shoulder pain will depend on the severity and cause of the condition. Generally, mild cases may take a few sessions over a period of several weeks to resolve. More severe and chronic cases can take months and require more regular treatment in order to achieve lasting relief. An Osteopath will be able to provide an accurate timeline for recovery based on the individual's condition.
