Shoulder pain is common and can have causes that range from age-related degeneration to sports-related trauma. Regardless of the source, effective treatment is available in Louisville, Kentucky, from the board-certified orthopedic surgeons at Louisville Orthopaedic Clinic. Our renowned team specializes in evaluating and treating a full spectrum of painful shoulder conditions, including arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, fractures, impingement syndrome, frozen shoulder, and rotator cuff tears. Many individuals turn to our local, independently owned practice when they need effective pain relief so they can return to the activities they enjoy.

When Does Shoulder Pain Require Treatment?

Shoulder pain may warrant professional medical attention if it is very severe or accompanied by:

Stiffness or reduced range of motion
A feeling of looseness or instability
A grinding or popping sensation during movement
An inability to fully rotate the arm
Weakness when lifting or carrying a heavy object
Tingling or numbness that radiates from the shoulder through the arm and hand
A visible deformity

In general, when it comes to shoulder pain, it’s best to err on the side of caution and seek treatment sooner rather than later. Why? In addition to faster relief, more treatment options will likely be available. For instance, many shoulder conditions can be treated conservatively with rest, ice applications, over-the-counter medications, physical therapy, and/or injections.
