Guide to Shoulder Pain Relief

Updated: Jul 1

The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the human body. This joint has an astounding range of motion, which also makes the shoulder unstable and more prone to injury than any other joint. Chronic shoulder pain is extremely common, causing patients to have a limited ability to move freely and can also cause high levels of discomfort and pain.


The Interventional Spine & Pain Management physicians are here to help you overcome chronic shoulder pain once and for all! Let’s get right into our guide to shoulder pain relief.


About the Shoulder

The human shoulder is made up of a ball and socket joint that allows our arms to rotate either in a circular fashion or hinge out from the body.


  • Three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), scapula (shoulder blade) and the humerus (upper arm bone)

  • Muscles

  • Ligaments

  • Tendons

  • Cartilage


Chronic Shoulder Pain Basics – What’s the Cause

As we age, chronic shoulder pain becomes more and more common as the tissue surrounding the shoulder begin to deteriorate. General wear and tear of the shoulder joint over many years is a leading cause of chronic pain. Shoulder pain can also begin as result of injury—many times even an injury to the neck or back where pain can radiate throughout the shoulder. Other causes of chronic shoulder pain include:


  • Arthritis

  • Torn cartilage

  • Torn rotator cuff

  • Bone spurs

  • Pinched nerves in the neck or shoulders

  • Shoulder dislocation

  • Back or spinal injuries


Shoulder Pain Treatments

Like any other chronic pain condition, treatment will depend on the cause and severity of your shoulder pain. Our ISPM Physicians check for tenderness and swelling along with assessing your range of motion and joint stability. The most common medical treatments for chronic shoulder pain typically include one or a combination of the following:


  • Physical Therapy

  • Immobilization

  • Medications

  • Shoulder Injections

  • Surgery

  • There are also a variety of lifestyle adjustments to help treat chronic shoulder pain at home which include:

  • Rest

  • Shoulder friendly exercises and stretching

  • Ice or heat treatments

  • Improved posture

  • Limit overhead work or activities


If you’re experiencing pain that’s lasted longer than 2 weeks, seek professional help from the ISPM. Our team can help you to improve shoulder pain and stop future damage in its tracks.

I was bedbound for years with chronic health issues. After switching to a nutrition-based lifestyle and using an herbal formula from World Rehabilitate Clinic, my health fully turned around—without relying on conventional medicine. This is just my personal experience, not medical advice. I understand it may not be for everyone, but it truly changed my life.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago. For over two years, I relied on Levodopa and several other medications, but unfortunately, the symptoms kept getting worse. The tremors became more noticeable, and my balance and mobility started to decline quickly. Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try a herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My movements became smoother, the tremors subsided, and I felt steadier on my feet. Incredibly, I also regained much of my energy and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve…
