Do you have difficulty sleeping on your side because of shoulder pain? Do you have painful clicking and popping in the shoulder joint? Does it hurt to lift your arm overhead?
You are not alone. An estimated 70% of the population will experience shoulder pain at some point in their lives.
Many of my patients at New Moon Physiotherapy schedule with me when injections, traditional Physical Therapy, and/or surgery has failed.
Have you been told you have any of the following?
Do people actually have the above ailments? Absolutely.
But they’re not the whole story.
Did you know there are at least 15 muscles that refer to pain to the shoulder region?
That’s why injections, surgery and months of physical therapy may fail to produce results: the actual source of pain has not been addressed.
Take a look at the referral pattern for trigger points (tight knots) in the infraspinatus muscle. Trigger points here can mimic the symptoms of every single diagnosis in the above list. Does this pain look familiar to you?
Understanding the real cause of shoulder pain is the first step to feeling better, faster.
Before treatment begins, you will receive a hands-on assessment of fascial restrictions and trigger points that may contribute to your shoulder pain. You may be surprised that a gnarly spot underneath your collar bone is generating pain in the back of your shoulder.
All sessions at New Moon Physiotherapy are one-on-one, for an hour, and use the latest, evidenced-based techniques. Sessions are focused on the actual source of pain, and are so targeted that patients typically only need to attend sessions once per week. We will work together to formulate a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include any or all of the following:
