I had an interesting question today re: Shoulder Pain and how I treat it for fast results. One of the most common shoulder pain syndromes which I treat is biceps tendonitis. Biceps tendonitis typically presents as pain in the front of the shoulder. In less severe cases of biceps tendonitis, it may only present as an ache or stiffness in the shoulder that increases with rest following activities requiring strong or repetitive contraction of the biceps muscle. These activities may include carrying heavy shopping, performing biceps curls or chin ups etc.
In more severe cases, it presents as an ache that increases to a sharper pain with activity. How do I treat it? My physiotherapy treatment for clients with this condition is to speed the healing process up as fast as I can. Acute soft tissue injuries are best healed in a short time frame. Treatment may comprise:
soft tissue massage
electrotherapy (e.g. ultrasound)
taping
stretches
joint mobilization
ice or heat treatment
exercises to improve strength and flexibility
education
anti-inflammatory advice
activity modification advice
a gradual return to activity program
