Shoulder pain is a widespread problem today, especially among people who do physical work regularly, engage in sports, or have desk jobs. Your shoulder joint helps you lift, rotate, and move your arm freely. Because of this wide range of movement, it is also more likely to get injured. Understanding the real cause of pain is the first step towards proper Shoulder Pain Treatment.
At Shashikanth Ortho Hospital, we offer expert diagnosis and personalised treatment plans to help you recover safely and quickly.
Karimnagar is a growing city with improving hospitals, diagnostic centres, and medical support services. The environment here feels more personal because patients get individual attention, unlike big metro hospitals where the rush is high. This makes patients more relaxed and confident during their treatment journey.
In the last few years, Karimnagar has become a strong centre for orthopaedic care — especially for knee pain, spine problems, sports injuries, fractures, ligament tears and trauma cases. People now trust that world-class treatment and expert surgical care can be done right here in their own region.
Shoulder pain treatment refers to any discomfort, soreness, or stiffness around your shoulder joint. You may feel pain when lifting your arm, rotating your shoulder, or even while resting. Some people experience mild, dull pain, while others may feel sharp or sudden pain after an injury.
Shoulder pain can feel different for every person. Some common symptoms include:
If you experience severe pain, sudden swelling, or inability to move your arm, you should seek medical care immediately.
Many conditions can lead to shoulder pain. The most common causes include:
Only a qualified orthopedic specialist can confirm the exact cause through a physical examination and imaging tests.
The right Shoulder Pain Treatment depends on the cause of your symptoms. At Shashikanth Ortho Hospital, we provide customised treatment options, including:
Reducing heavy activities gives your shoulder time to heal. Avoid overhead movements and lifting weights until advised by your doctor.
Your doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory medicines or pain-relief tablets to reduce swelling and discomfort.
A trained physiotherapist will guide you through exercises that improve shoulder strength, flexibility, and movement. Physiotherapy is very effective for frozen shoulder, tendonitis, and mild injuries.
For specific injuries, keeping your shoulder still using a sling helps in faster recovery.
Corticosteroid injections or PRP therapy may be suggested for chronic pain or inflammation.
If the injury is serious—like a rotator cuff tear, recurrent dislocation, or fracture—surgery may be needed. Our orthopedic team specialises in safe, successful shoulder surgeries using modern techniques.

Not all cases can be prevented, but you can lower your risk by:
Consult an orthopedic specialist if:
You experience chest pain or breathlessness along with shoulder pain.

The best treatment depends on your condition. Mild pain often improves with rest, ice, medicines and physiotherapy. For tears, dislocation or severe injuries, advanced procedures or surgery may be needed.
You should visit a doctor if your pain lasts more than a few days, gets worse, causes swelling or you cannot lift your arm properly.
