Shoulder Injuries and Pain

Treating shoulder injuries

Shoulder injuries often affect the muscles, ligaments, and tendons, typically caused by repetitive movements such as swimming, tennis, pitching, weightlifting, yard work, or even playing musical instruments.

Under the expert care of Prof. Dr. Hafiz Muhammad Asim, we provide specialized treatment for conditions including:

  • Bursitis

  • Frozen shoulder

  • Rotator cuff tears

  • Shoulder impingement/rotator cuff tendonitis

Regardless of the severity of your injury, we take a personalized approach, tailoring each treatment plan to your symptoms and recovery goals.

If surgery isn’t required, therapy will focus on restoring range of motion, strength, and function while reducing pain and inflammation. For patients requiring surgery, our team will work closely with you before and after the procedure to ensure optimal recovery. We also coordinate with your physician to provide seamless, comprehensive rehabilitation for the best possible outcome.

Conditions

Shoulder injuries we treat

Bursitis is a painful condition that occurs when the small fluid-filled sac that supports the shoulder joint becomes damaged, irritated or inflamed. Symptoms of bursitis can include:

  • Pain on the tip of the shoulder
  • Pain when lying on the sore shoulder
  • Pain when rotating the arm or when pushing or pulling open a door

Frozen shoulder is the progressive stiffening of the shoulder due to scar tissue. It typically develops slowly and in three stages. The stages include:

  • Freezing: Moving your shoulder causes pain, and your range of motion is limited.
  • Frozen: Pain may lessen, but your shoulder is stiffer and becomes more difficult to move.
  • Thawing: Your range of motion improves.

Shoulder impingement happens when the rotator cuff tendons in your shoulder are overused or injured, causing pain and limiting your movement. Symptoms of shoulder impingement/rotator cuff tendonitis can include:

  • Pain with activity and while resting
  • Pain that radiates from the front of the shoulder to the side of the arm
  • Pain when throwing a ball, especially in athletes
  • Sudden pain when lifting and reaching

A rotator cuff tear usually happens to people who repeatedly perform overhead motions in their jobs or those involved with sports. An extensive rotator cuff tear may require surgery. Symptoms of a rotator cuff tear can include:

  • Arm weakness or limited motion
  • Discomfort when laying on the arm
  • Dull ache in the shoulder
