Shoulder Pain Treatment in Troy, IL

Thanks to its large range of motion, the shoulder can often be injured via repetitive activities like sports, manual labor or even your sleep pattern. Whether it’s a pulled muscle or a more intense bone-on-bone issue, shoulder pain needs physical therapy to restore your movement and decrease the aches or pain you’re experiencing.  

As experts in the complexities of shoulder pain, we treat these common shoulder pain issues:

Rotator Cuff & Labral Dysfunction

This common injury is located in the group of muscles and tendons that surround your shoulder joint, specifically at the attachment site for the ligaments that support the ball and socket joint in your shoulder known as the rotator cuff. An injury here can greatly limit your shoulder stability, flexibility and strength. Rotator cuff injuries increase as you age and often produce a dull ache in your shoulder as a result of repetitive overhead motions. 

Our physical therapy exercises avoid permanent issues or surgery by treating these conditions: 

Frozen Shoulder

If you’ve had your shoulder in a sling for an extended period of time, you’ll likely experience “adhesive capsulitis” or frozen shoulder – often, there’s no injury at all, just an “insidious” or gradual progression. Our tailor-made physical therapy plan will help exercise the tissues that have stiffened and are causing pain.

Tendinitis

Excessive overuse of your shoulder joint causes inflammation in the tendons in your shoulder which can produce swelling or impingement when you raise your arm. These painful tendencies can be countered with a dedicated relief plan from our full-service physical therapists.

Arthritis

The shoulder is targeted by two types of arthritis that trigger ongoing pain. Osteoarthritis results from wear and tear in your shoulder joint that is often brought on by old age or overuse. Rheumatoid arthritis results when your immune system engages the membranes around your shoulder joint and causes inflammation and pain. Both forms of arthritis can experience relief with the help of the motion experts at Tailor-Made Physical Therapy.
