When Shoulder Pain Doesn't Improve
Most shoulder problems improve with the right rehabilitation. However, if your symptoms persist or the diagnosis isn’t clear, further assessment may be helpful.
Our Physiotherapy + Ultrasound Assessment combines an expert physiotherapy assessment with point-of-care ultrasound for selected shoulder conditions, helping assess structures such as the rotator cuff tendons, bursa and biceps tendon where clinically appropriate.
Shoulder Injections
For some shoulder conditions, a corticosteroid injection may be recommended alongside rehabilitation to help reduce pain and improve your ability to exercise.
Injections are never a standalone treatment. Every patient receives a clinical assessment first to determine whether an injection is appropriate and whether physiotherapy remains the best option.
Common shoulder conditions that may benefit include:
ā Subacromial bursitis
ā Frozen shoulder
ā Rotator cuff related shoulder pain
ā Shoulder osteoarthritis
ā AC joint pain
