SHOULDER PAIN

The shoulder joint is a complex one. It is a ball and socket joint, with a very shallow socket which depends largely on the rotator cuff muscles and associated capsule to maintain its stability. It is also greatly affected by poor postures and lifting techniques, as well as dysfunction in the cervical and thoracic spine. Due to this anatomy, there are many acute injuries and pain syndromes which can occur, causing significant pain and disability. We provide effective Cairns shoulder pain treatment.

SHOULDER TREATMENT

An assessment will determine the structures at fault, in creating your pain. This is then followed by treatment, which can include joint mobilisations, massage, taping, acupuncture, cupping and provision of specific strengthening and stretching exercises. In our experience, physiotherapy is effective in relieving most shoulder pains, within 3 weeks. That’s the outcomes our clients enjoy and indeed, we have prevented numerous clients from having to undergo surgery. For more information call one of our friendly team on 07 4231 9777.
