Shoulder Pain and Injuries Specialist in Lower Plenty, Melbourne, VIC

Shoulder pain and injuries encompass a spectrum of conditions affecting the shoulder joint, a complex structure with a wide range of motion. Common causes include rotator cuff injuries, tendonitis, bursitis, dislocations, and frozen shoulder. Trauma, overuse, or age-related wear and tear can contribute to these issues.

Rotator cuff injuries involve damage to the muscles and tendons surrounding the shoulder joint, often resulting in pain and limited mobility. Tendonitis and bursitis, inflammation of tendons and bursae, respectively, can cause discomfort and swelling. Dislocations occur when the shoulder joint is forced out of its normal position, leading to acute pain and instability.

Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, involves the gradual thickening and tightening of the shoulder capsule, restricting movement and causing pain. The symptoms of shoulder pain and injuries often include pain with movement, weakness, stiffness, and difficulty performing daily activities.

Management of shoulder issues typically involves a combination of rest, physical therapy, pain medication, and in some cases, surgical intervention.
