Physiotherapy can offer relief from shoulder pain in several ways, even if you don’t know what’s causing your pain. Here are 3 surprising ways physiotherapy can help reduce your shoulder pain.
1) Decompression
Shoulder pain can be caused by many things including trauma, overuse, or even a natural position of the shoulder. It can be difficult to get rid of shoulder pain but with the help of physiotherapy and Dr. Rajeev Kumar Singh Patna, you can reduce your shoulder pain in less than one hour. One way is through decompression therapy where the doctor manipulates your arm to release pressure on the nerves that are causing your pain. This is often combined with other treatments such as ultrasound therapy, electrotherapy, and muscle stimulation therapies.
2) Lubrication
Lubrication in the shoulder joint is vital to maintain its healthy function. That’s because there are no natural lubricants within the joint itself, and without some form of external lubricant, the surfaces of cartilage will wear away, leading to painful arthritis. The three most common types of lube that a physiotherapist will prescribe are (1) heat (2) ultrasound (3) massage. All three have been proven to provide quick relief from shoulder pain.
