Shoulder Pain

Relief from stiffness, weakness and pain that limits your shoulder.

Overview

Shoulder pain can make everyday actions — dressing, reaching, sleeping — difficult. Because the shoulder is the body’s most mobile joint, pinpointing the true cause matters. Our team diagnoses accurately and treats with a blend of physiotherapy, manual therapy, dry needling and Ayurvedic pain management.

We commonly treat rotator cuff problems, impingement, instability and sport- or work-related overuse.

Signs & Symptoms

  • Pain when lifting the arm Pain at night Weakness or instability Reduced range of motion

Causes

  • Rotator cuff strain or tear Impingement Overuse in sport or work Frozen shoulder

How We Treat It

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my shoulder hurt more at night?

Night pain is common with rotator cuff and impingement problems because lying down changes the pressure in the joint. Persistent night pain is a good reason to get assessed.

Do I need a scan for shoulder pain?

Not always. A clinical examination is often enough; imaging is ordered only when it will change your treatment plan.

When is surgery indicated for shoulder pain?

Rarely, and only for specific diagnoses: large or traumatic rotator cuff tears (especially in younger patients), recurrent shoulder dislocations with structural damage, and advanced joint arthritis being considered for replacement. For the common causes — impingement, tendinopathy, most cuff problems and frozen shoulder — high-quality trials show structured conservative care matches or beats surgery, which is why rehabilitation is always our first line. If assessment shows a genuinely surgical problem, we say so and refer promptly.
