Shoulder Pain Q&A

What causes shoulder pain?

Often, acute shoulder pain (which lasts a few weeks) results from overuse injuries that strain your muscles and the soft tissues that support your shoulder joint. You can also develop shoulder pain from sudden trauma, such as a fall or car accident.

If you have chronic shoulder pain that persists for several months, it could be a symptom of an underlying joint injury or degenerative disease. Common conditions that affect the shoulder include:

Bursitis
Arthritis
Tendonitis
Fractures
Rotator cuff tears
Joint dislocation
Frozen shoulder

Chronic pain can also result from compressed or entrapped nerves or diabetes-related nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy).

Pain Specialists of Frisco provides personalized care for shoulder pain. If you’re looking for nonsurgical strategies to relieve pain and restore shoulder function, Dr. Mohan can offer tailored recommendations.

When should I seek help for shoulder pain?

If your shoulder pain is mild or only crops up occasionally, you may only need rest, over-the-counter medicine, and physical therapy. However, if your shoulder pain persists for three months or longer and isn’t responding to care, schedule a diagnostic evaluation at Pain Specialists of Frisco.

Let Dr. Mohan know if you experience swelling and severe shoulder pain, worsening pain, or limited arm function and movement.

Dr. Mohan assesses your shoulder’s flexibility during a physical exam and may also use X-rays or other imaging tests to check for tissue tears, fractures, and inflammation.

How is shoulder pain treated?

Shoulder pain can have many underlying causes, and your care plan varies depending on your unique circumstances. Pain Specialists of Frisco can also use nonsurgical therapies and regenerative medicine to relieve persistent shoulder pain, including:

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy

PRP contains powerful healing factors that reduce inflammation and promote your body’s natural ability to heal damaged tissues.

Stem cell therapy

These versatile cells can help regenerate healthy tissue growth in the affected shoulder joint for faster repair and recovery.

SoftWave® therapy

The acoustic shockwaves used in SoftWave therapy stimulate blood flow, activate stem cells, and release growth factors in the damaged area.

To support your in-office therapies, Dr. Mohan can suggest at-home joint-strengthening exercises you can do between visits.
