Shoulder & Neck Pain
The two most common conditions causing shoulder and neck pain are:
Cervicalgia
Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
This condition results from overuse or degeneration of the rotator cuff tendons, leading to shoulder pain, weakness, and difficulty with overhead movements. It often presents with painful sideways movement of the arm and discomfort at night, especially when lying on the same side. Just as we provide targeted care for lower limb conditions through Knee Pain Physiotherapy & Shin Splints Bristol, our shoulder treatments are designed to restore strength, mobility, and comfort.
These conditions can be managed using conventional physiotherapy approaches, including manual therapy, postural correction, strengthening exercises, and mobility drills to improve function and reduce pain. Laser therapy can aid in reducing inflammation and enhancing tissue repair, while radial shockwave therapy is beneficial for stimulating blood flow, breaking down calcifications, and promoting tendon regeneration. For those suffering from shoulder impingement, Shoulder Impingement Solutions often involve a combination of these therapies to address the underlying causes and improve shoulder function. A multimodal approach incorporating these treatments can optimise recovery and restore movement efficiency.
