Shoulder Clinic

Take control of your shoulder pain now

Shoulder pain is one of the biggest reasons for people seeking treatment for Musculo-skeletal injury. Part of the reason for this is that the shoulder joint is the most mobile in the human body giving it an incredible array of functional capabilities BUT also leaving it susceptible to injury. A lot us take for granted the crucial role that our shoulder play in day to day living including getting dressed, sleeping, cooking, driving, working at a screen and not to mention sports such as tennis, golf, climbing etc etc. It is often not until we are suffering from pain that we realise how much we rely on having a healthy shoulder.

Diagnosis is Key

Diagnosis is crucial in finding the best way to treat shoulder pain. Different injuries require very different management so knowing what is causing the pain allows you to know when to push your shoulder or indeed, when to rest.
Pain in the shoulder can originate from joint, bone, tendon or muscle. Did you know that shoulder pain could also originate from the neck or upper back? Nerves also play an important role in pain from the shoulder.
