Shoulder pain

Shoulder pain is a common issue that affects people of all ages, whether due to injury, overuse, or underlying conditions. At RAD Clinics, we provide precise and effective ultrasound-guided shoulder pain injections, helping you find relief and regain mobility.

The shoulder is a complex joint made up of several bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments, all working together to allow a wide range of motion. When any of these components are affected by injury or inflammation, it can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Common causes of shoulder pain include:

  • Rotator Cuff Injuries: Tears or inflammation in the tendons of the rotator cuff can cause significant discomfort.
  • Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, fluid-filled sacs that cushion the shoulder joint, often leads to pain.
  • Frozen Shoulder: Also known as adhesive capsulitis, this condition results in stiffness and restricted movement.
  • Osteoarthritis: Degeneration of cartilage in the shoulder joint can lead to pain and swelling.
