Conditions Treated
Bursitis
The condition is characterized by a fluid filled sac in the shoulder that separates the muscle from rubbing on bone. It gets inflamed and hurts in all positions,
especially when sleeping on it.
Treatment Plan
The treatment consists of reducing the inflammation and swelling to the bursa. After this is accomplished, we provide the patient with specific exercises to balance the muscles of the shoulder in order to prevent re-injury.
About Shoulder / Arm Pain
Common injuries of the shoulder/arm area are often the result of poor posture, muscle imbalances, or repetitive strain from daily activities such as carrying a shoulder bag. It is important not only to rehabilitate the affected muscles and joints, but also to provide the patient with alternatives for postures and movements that cause the problem.
