Pain in the shoulder can be debilitating. Whether it is from arthritis, a labrum tear, bursitis, or worn cartilage, we can help. Often times, a simple injection will help with shoulder pain. Usually this is not the first step in treatment. Rest, heat and ice therapy, anti-inflammatory medication, and physical therapy come first. Some patients also try acupuncture for pain relief. When all those treatments fail, we will then recommend injection therapy. There are a variety of choices of substances to inject: local anesthesia and steroids, platelet rich plasma, or stem cells. We will examine your shoulder, order imaging if you have not already had it, and find the right solution for you. Our goal would be to lower your pain level without having to undergo surgery. If this sounds like an option for you, then set up your consultation today!
