Some shoulder pain begins suddenly after an injury. Other discomfort develops gradually from repetitive activity, age-related changes or conditions involving the muscles, tendons and other structures surrounding the joint.
At RegenHaus Medical in Alpharetta, we take an individualized approach to evaluating shoulder pain and determining which treatment options may be appropriate. Our medical team considers your symptoms, health history, activity level, previous injuries and personal goals before recommending a treatment plan.
RegenHaus Medical serves patients from Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell, Johns Creek, Duluth, Suwanee, Cumming, South Forsyth, Buckhead and North Atlanta.
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that helps stabilize the shoulder and allows the arm to move through a wide range of positions. Rotator cuff tendinitis, tendon degeneration, partial or complete tears and related conditions are common sources of shoulder pain. Symptoms may be especially noticeable when lifting the arm, reaching overhead or sleeping on the affected shoulder.
Small fluid-filled sacs called bursae help reduce friction between moving tissues in the shoulder. When these structures become irritated or inflamed, shoulder pain may develop during movement. Bursitis frequently occurs along with rotator cuff irritation.
Shoulder impingement can occur when tissues within the shoulder become compressed during certain movements, particularly when the arm is raised. This can contribute to pain, weakness and difficulty with overhead activity and is often associated with rotator cuff conditions.
Arthritis can affect the joints of the shoulder and contribute to pain, stiffness and reduced range of motion. These changes may develop gradually and become increasingly noticeable during everyday activities or exercise.
Repeated lifting, reaching, throwing or overhead movement can place considerable demands on the shoulder. People involved in sports, physical work or repetitive exercise may begin experiencing shoulder discomfort when these tissues become irritated or overloaded.
Falls, sports injuries, dislocations and previous rotator cuff injuries can continue to influence shoulder function over time. In some cases, an older injury may contribute to recurring shoulder pain or reduced mobility years later.
Shoulder problems can become particularly frustrating because the joint is involved in so many everyday movements.
Patients may begin avoiding certain positions, changing how they lift objects or relying more heavily on the opposite arm. Activities such as reaching into a cabinet, fastening clothing, carrying groceries, golfing or exercising may become increasingly uncomfortable.
Shoulder pain can also affect sleep, particularly when lying on the affected side.
If discomfort or reduced mobility is beginning to change how you move through your day, an evaluation can help determine what may be contributing to the problem and which options may be appropriate.
Depending on the patient, the underlying shoulder condition and clinical findings, RegenHaus Medical may discuss regenerative or orthobiologic approaches as part of an individualized shoulder treatment plan.
Available services include:
Not every treatment is appropriate for every type of shoulder pain. Recommendations are based on the patient’s evaluation, medical history and individual treatment goals.
Orthobiologic injections use biologically derived materials as part of an individualized approach to musculoskeletal care.
Treatment may be considered for certain shoulder conditions following evaluation of the joint and surrounding tissues.
Treatment recommendations and follow-up are based on your specific condition and individual clinical findings.
The shoulder is involved in many sports and recreational activities, particularly those requiring repetitive arm movement or rotation. Active adults may experience shoulder pain associated with:
That history provides useful information.
During your consultation, tell the RegenHaus Medical team what you have already tried, whether it helped and what shoulder pain or mobility limitations remain. This can help the medical team determine whether another approach should be considered.
