Common Shoulder Injuries & Conditions

Shoulder pain can arise from various conditions that limit your mobility and impact your quality of life. Whether it’s a sports-related injury or age-related wear and tear, understanding the common shoulder issues can help guide you to the right treatment. At Determination Physical Therapy, we specialize in providing relief for the following shoulder conditions:

Rotator Cuff Injuries

Damage or inflammation of the rotator cuff can lead to pain, weakness, and limited range of motion. Physical therapy can help rehabilitate the shoulder and improve function.

Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)

A condition where the shoulder becomes stiff and painful, restricting movement. Treatment aims to restore range of motion and reduce discomfort.

Shoulder Impingement

This occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff become compressed, leading to pain and difficulty lifting your arm. Therapy focuses on relieving pressure and restoring normal movement.

Shoulder Arthritis

Degenerative changes in the shoulder joint can cause pain, stiffness, and swelling. Our therapy programs are designed to manage symptoms and enhance shoulder function.

Labral Tears

Tears in the cartilage of the shoulder joint can cause instability and pain. Physical therapy is vital for restoring strength and preventing further injury.

Bursitis

Inflammation of the bursa in the shoulder can result in pain and swelling. Treatment includes reducing inflammation and improving mobility.
