SHOULDER PAIN IN CHARLOTTE

Shoulder pain is a very common condition that affects several individuals. Shoulder pain can occur as a result of several factors, but most are majorly due to tears or inflammation of the rotator cuff tendons. Shoulder pains can also occur as a result of arthritis, dislocation of the shoulder joints, poor shoulder posture and rotation mechanics, and lots more.

Minor cases of shoulder pain can subside on their own. However, if you suspect pain around the shoulder region, it is advisable to seek medical attention immediately. At Advanced Sports & Spine, we provide treatment for shoulder pain in Charlotte to provide you with immediate relief and help relieve you from discomfort.

How it Works?

Regenerative Medicine for Shoulder Pain

We address pain management using advanced treatment strategies for shoulder pain, including regenerative medicine in Charlotte. Regenerative medicine involves approaches that harness the body’s healing properties to treat pain. These procedures include PRP therapy and stem cell therapy, which address the root of the pain rather than treating the pain symptoms as seen with conventional medical treatments.

Recovery with regenerative medicine is fast, safe, and effective. It repairs damage to shoulder pain naturally and improves mobility and quality of life so you can get back to doing the things that you love. We use stem cell therapy for more advanced shoulder conditions and PRP therapy for less severe shoulder pains.

Regenerative Medicine - PRP Therapy for the Shoulder

Platelet Rich Plasma therapy is a non-surgical regenerative treatment procedure that uses a person’s concentrated blood plasma to activate growth factors to accelerate the healing of tendons and muscles of the joints. At Advanced Sports & Spine, we use PRP therapy to treat shoulder pains and conditions to make you feel and work more efficiently. PRP therapy efficiently reduces inflammation and increases collagen production for stronger shoulder tendons. With PRP therapy, treatment is safe, and recovery is fast!

Stem Cell Therapy for Shoulder Pain

At Advanced Sports & Spine, we use stem cell therapy for advanced shoulder conditions. With this procedure, we achieve healing of shoulder pains by using stem cells to target the root of the pain and accelerate the repair of tendons, ligaments, and the joint. Stem cell therapy provides patients with relief without opting for risky, invasive surgery.

Stem cell therapy is a revolutionary regenerative treatment approach for shoulder pains. Patients benefit from the therapy in the following ways:

  • Treatment with stem cell therapy is minimally invasive. Hence patients are protected from the risks of highly invasive surgery.
  • Recovery from stem cell therapy is fast and reduces pain effectively.
  • Stem cell therapy safely and effectively improves shoulder functionality, range of motion, and flexibility.
  • Because the procedure uses the patient’s own cells, the procedure is safe and has very little to no risk of rejection.

Frequently Asked Questions

ABOUT TREATMENTS FOR SHOULDER PAIN

HOW CAN I STOP SHOULDER PAIN?

We offer several different options for treating shoulder pain at our pain management center in Charlotte, NC. We treat shoulder pain using regenerative medical procedures such as PRP therapy and stem cell therapy. We also utilize innovative treatment methods such as suprascapular nerve blocks, peripheral joint injections, Radiofrequency ablation (Traditional Neurotomy and COOLIEF), and other revolutionary procedures for alleviating or eliminating shoulder pain.

WHAT EXERCISES CAN I DO TO GET RID OF SHOULDER PAIN?

Exercises are a great way to strengthen and support your shoulder and restore its mobility. A combination of exercises and treatments may be necessary to fully restore functionality to your shoulder and eliminate pain. Certain types of exercises may worsen pains in your shoulders, so we recommend that you discuss your exercise plans and choices with your doctor before you start them on your own to avoid further damage to your shoulder. A simple rule of thumb is to avoid exercises that worsen your pain. Our experts can assess the cause of your shoulder pain and recommend the appropriate exercises and treatments that are suitable for your shoulder condition.

WHEN SHOULD YOU SEEK TREATMENT FOR YOUR SHOULDER PAIN?

Most cases of shoulder pains usually resolve on their own after a short time of a few exercises. However, shoulder pain that lingers on for weeks requires appropriate medical assessment. Untreated shoulder pains may affect a person’s quality of life and overall wellbeing, so it is always a good option to check with a pain specialist for appropriate therapy. One of our board-certified physiatrists can assess your pain, evaluate your symptoms, and help you prepare a treatment plan that will provide you relief and restore functionality to your shoulder.

CAN SHOULDER PAIN GO AWAY ON ITS OWN?

Shoulder pain is caused by several factors that may manifest from mild to severe cases of shoulder pain. Depending on the cause of the pain and level of discomfort, mild cases can resolve with rest or with just simple exercises. However, more serious cases may require intervention by pain specialists. It is difficult to tell if a shoulder pain resolves on its own or not, so it is advisable to consult with a pain specialist to evaluate your symptoms so you can know the next steps.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF SHOULDER PAIN IS SERIOUS?

It is usually difficult to tell if shoulder pain is serious or not at the initial onset. However, shoulder pains that linger on and refuse to go away after rest or interventions with over-the-counter pain relief or treatment with ice or heat therapy may be a severe case of shoulder pain. If you feel this way, it is the right time to contact a pain specialist to evaluate your symptoms, determine the source, and design a treatment plan that is specific to your needs.

HOW CAN I KEEP MY SHOULDERS HEALTHY?

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body. This makes it very unique. However, like other joints, it wears down with age and is prone to wear, tear, and injuries.

A great way to keep your shoulders healthy is to protect your joints by strengthening them through exercising, stretching, and not overloading your joints. Exercise regularly, and develop scapular strengths to maintain your shoulder’s mobility, stability, and functionality.

HOW LONG DOES SHOULDER PAIN LAST?

The duration of discomfort from shoulder pain varies depending on the cause of the pain. Mild cases usually resolve on their own following a brief period of rest or intervention with over-the-counter medications. Acute pains involving minor injuries may resolve after some days or a couple of weeks. More severe cases usually require medical interventions by pain specialists to relieve your pain. Experts may recommend treatments, physical therapy in the form of exercises, and possible lifestyle changes that may relieve discomfort once the source of the pain has been determined.

HOW CAN I STOP SHOULDER PAIN?

Finding the right and effective treatment for shoulder pain requires determining the cause of the pain. Schedule an appointment for an evaluation with one of our experts. Once the root of your pain is known, we can devise a custom treatment plan to relieve your shoulder pain.
