Overview

Shoulder pain is a common condition that can result from injury, overuse, arthritis, or nerve irritation. It may affect one or both shoulders and can limit your ability to lift, reach, or sleep comfortably. Whether your symptoms are new or have been lingering for months, effective non-surgical treatments are available.

At Restore Spine and Pain, we help patients with a wide range of shoulder problems—including those recovering from orthopedic injuries, work-related strain, or degenerative conditions like arthritis or rotator cuff tears.

Common Symptoms

• Aching or sharp pain in the shoulder or upper arm
• Pain that worsens with lifting, reaching, or overhead movements
• Stiffness or limited range of motion
• Pain at night or difficulty sleeping on the affected side
• Weakness or numbness radiating down the arm (in some cases)

Common Causes

• Rotator cuff tendonitis or tears
• Bursitis or impingement syndrome
• Osteoarthritis of the shoulder joint or AC joint
• Labral tears or instability
• Work-related or repetitive motion injuries
• Post-operative shoulder pain
