Shoulder Pain Treatment

Overview

Shoulder pain can affect nearly every upper body movement, making activities such as lifting, reaching, sleeping, exercising, and carrying objects uncomfortable. Pain may develop from arthritis, rotator cuff injuries, bursitis, tendonitis, frozen shoulder, nerve irritation, or repetitive overuse. Some patients experience sharp pain with movement, while others notice weakness, stiffness, limited range of motion, or ongoing aching that interferes with daily life.

At Evolve Pain Management, we provide shoulder pain treatment in Huntersville, NC for patients throughout Cornelius, Davidson, Mooresville, Denver, Concord, and the greater Charlotte area. Our goal is to identify the source of shoulder pain and create a personalized treatment plan focused on reducing discomfort, restoring mobility, and helping patients return to everyday activities with greater comfort and confidence.

Treatment options may include ultrasound-guided shoulder injections, nerve blocks, regenerative medicine therapies, medication management, and minimally invasive pain management procedures designed to target the structures contributing to chronic shoulder pain.

Possible Treatments

How It Works

Shoulder joint injections may help reduce inflammation and pain associated with arthritis, bursitis, rotator cuff irritation, and other painful shoulder conditions. These injections commonly include anti-inflammatory medication delivered directly into the shoulder joint or surrounding structures.

What to Expect

The procedure is typically performed in the office and may be guided by ultrasound for improved accuracy. Some patients notice gradual symptom relief over several days following treatment.

How It Works

Ultrasound guidance allows the physician to visualize the shoulder joint, tendons, bursae, and surrounding soft tissues during treatment. This can help improve injection precision and better target the source of pain.

What to Expect

The procedure is minimally invasive and generally completed during a short office visit. Patients may return to many normal activities shortly after treatment depending on the condition being treated.

How It Works

Peripheral nerve blocks target specific nerves contributing to chronic shoulder pain. These injections may help interrupt pain signals and provide diagnostic information regarding the structures involved.

What to Expect

The procedure is performed using imaging or ultrasound guidance. Relief duration varies depending on the condition and nerves being treated.

How It Works

Radiofrequency ablation uses controlled heat to interrupt pain signals from targeted nerves associated with chronic shoulder pain conditions.

What to Expect

This minimally invasive treatment is often considered after diagnostic nerve blocks confirm the source of pain. Relief may last for several months or longer depending on the patient’s condition.

How It Works

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP therapy, uses concentrated platelets from the patient’s own blood to support healing in damaged tendons, ligaments, and soft tissues contributing to shoulder pain.

What to Expect

A blood sample is processed and injected into the affected area. PRP therapy may be considered for chronic tendon injuries or degenerative shoulder conditions that have not improved with conservative treatment.

How It Works

Medication management may help reduce pain, inflammation, and discomfort associated with chronic shoulder conditions.

What to Expect

Treatment plans are individualized based on the patient’s symptoms, activity level, medical history, and long-term goals, with ongoing monitoring and adjustments as needed.
