Shoulder Injuries We Treat at ImPackt Physical Therapy

Tendinitis: Some of the most common types of tendinitis that can affect the shoulder include bicipital tendonitis, rotator cuff tendinitis, and supraspinatus tendinitis. Tendinitis is an inflammation of the tendons, often caused by overuse or repetitive motion. It can cause pain, stiffness, and weakness in the shoulder.

Arthritis: Another related condition that we treat at ImPackt Physical Therapy is arthritis, which can affect the shoulder joint and cause pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion. There are different types of arthritis that can affect the shoulder, such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Many patients with arthritis find relief through physical therapy.

Rotator Cuff Tears: The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, helping to keep it stable and allowing for a wide range of motion. When these tendons are torn, it can cause pain, weakness, and limited range of motion in the shoulder. We offer specialized treatment plans to help heal rotator cuff tears and restore strength and function.

Frozen Shoulder: Also known as adhesive capsulitis, frozen shoulder is a condition where the shoulder becomes stiff and painful, making it difficult to move. While the exact cause is unknown, it often occurs after an injury or prolonged immobilization of the shoulder. Physical therapy can help to improve range of motion and reduce pain in patients with frozen shoulder.

Shoulder impingement: A shoulder impingement occurs when the tendons and bursa in the shoulder become compressed or pinched, causing pain, inflammation, and limited mobility. This can be caused by repetitive overhead motions or poor posture. Our therapists can help to alleviate symptoms and prevent future impingements through exercises and stretches.
