Common Types of Shoulder Injuries

Injuries to the shoulder can happen for several different reasons, such as overuse, trauma, or joint degeneration. The shoulder is a dynamic joint that allows much movement, and because of this movement, many different structures help support it. 

Typically, shoulder injuries happen if the joint becomes too loose or too stiff. Depending on the type of injury, this can happen for several different reasons. Ligaments, muscles, and bones all make up the shoulder and play an important role in its ability to move. 

Common Injuries We Treat

• Muscle and tendon strains/tears. 
• Labral and ligament issues. 
• Osteoarthritis.
• Muscle imbalances due to compensational weakness.
• Joint replacements.

Physical Therapy for Shoulder Injuries

Treatment for all shoulder injuries first involves assessing the joint to determine the cause of pain and dysfunction. This will include a series of tests to rule in or out specific issues. Since every shoulder and individual is different, it is essential to have a specific plan of care to address your injury. 

Next, your physical therapist will work with you to provide a unique treatment plan to meet your goals and needs. This may involve a combination of manual therapy, exercise, and modalities to treat the injury. We pride ourselves on going above and beyond the injury itself. We will make sure you are fully healthy and stronger than before to prevent any future flare-ups. 

The physical therapists at Pro Staff are experts in treating all types of shoulder injuries. So, no matter the cause and stage of healing, we will help you get back to all the activities you love.

How long will it take for me to get better?

Every injury to the shoulder is different when it comes to recovery. Shoulders can be tricky sometimes as they heal, so it is important to listen to your physical therapist as you recover from this injury. Factors such as injury type, stage of inflammation, and type of activity you are involved in can all impact the recovery timeline.
