Treat Your Shoulder Arthritis Pain
Physical Therapy Can Keep You Active
It’s common knowledge that arthritis can affect different joints in the body, such as the knees, hips, and back. However, most people don’t realize arthritis can also affect your shoulders and other joints in your upper body too.
If you suffer from shoulder arthritis, you are at an increased risk of an injury that can sideline you from your hobbies and interests. Pinnacle can help you understand more about this debilitating condition and how physical therapy can treat it.
Next, How is it Diagnosed?
During a physical exam, your physical therapist will examine your shoulder joint, nerves and muscles. These factors can help reveal an underlying condition, such as impingement syndrome or rotator cuff tendonitis. X-rays may also be taken in order to see any bone spurs, which may be causing narrowing of your joint.
Finally, What Treatments are Out There?
There are a few different treatments available for those suffering from shoulder arthritis. Treatment depends on factors like your age, severity of symptoms, and overall general health. The type of treatment you receive will be decided by Dr. Murphy or a member of his physical therapy team during the consultation.
