Shoulder Injuries
A shoulder injury from an accident can cause serious interruptions to your lifestyle, and it can also be painful and frustrating. Read below to find out what type of treatment can help you recover from a shoulder injury:
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is key to recovering from a shoulder injury. Licensed therapists design specific exercise programs to strengthen muscles and restore range of motion. Physical therapy can alleviate shoulder pain, restore function, and prevent re-injury.
Medications
Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can help manage pain and inflammation associated with shoulder injuries. Sometimes, corticosteroid injections are used to reduce inflammation and alleviate severe pain from shoulder injuries.
