What are the Most Common Shoulder Injury Treatments?

Shoulder injuries are no fun. Whether you are suffering from an exercise-related injury, dealing with a rotator cuff injury, or are still trying to determine the cause of your shoulder pain, the professionals at Angelo Mattalino, MD in Phoenix, Arizona are ready to help. We will work with you to determine the best course of shoulder injury treatment.

Do I Need to See a Doctor for Shoulder Injury Treatment?

If you are having significant shoulder pain, the first thing you need to do before determining shoulder injury treatment is to analyze your pain. If your shoulder is causing you minor discomfort and you can still move it around, you can likely treat it with ice and rest. But if your shoulder has been injured and is significantly discolored, out of place, or unable to move at all, it’s time to see a professional for shoulder injury treatment.

Additionally, you may want to ask yourself the following questions:

  • Can you move your arm in normal positions?
  • Does your shoulder feel like it is still in its socket?
  • Has your shoulder significantly decreased in strength?

What are Common Types of Shoulder Injuries?

Most shoulder injuries are caused by the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the shoulder. Often, athletes and people who perform consistent, repeated movements are susceptible to shoulder injuries. While it may be easy to brush off the pain, proper shoulder injury treatment is important to prevent further damage.

Shoulder dislocation is a common shoulder injury in which the shoulder has been rotated or pulled back too far out of its socket. You will likely experience swelling and pain, and potential weakness or numbness.

If there is a bump on the top of your shoulder accompanying your shoulder discomfort, you may have a separation or tear in your shoulder ligaments. Separation tears can be caused by serious falls or blows to the collarbone.

Collarbone fractures are also common. If you have fallen or been hit really hard in the clavicle or collarbone area and are experiencing a great deal of pain and bruising, you might be experiencing a break. Collarbone fractures can cause your shoulder to sag, too.
