Pain in the shoulder

Shoulder pain can be felt locally or throughout the shoulder region. This is often due to a lack of stability around the shoulder blade. Reduced movement and pain are often experienced in connection with everyday activities. The pain may have crept in or come on suddenly.

This is how we treat

At Brændgaard Physiotherapy, we treat the cause of the shoulder pain on the basis of a thorough examination of the whole body. Our experience is that the cause of your shoulder pain is often due to a compensation elsewhere in the body, but manifests itself as pain in the shoulder. It shows in a lack of stability or strength, which is why the treatment focuses on activating the muscles through treatment of the nervous system. 

Anatomy of the shoulder

The shoulder is the joint with the most mobility in the body. It is composed of the humerus, the shoulder blade (which lies on top of the ribs) and the clavicle, which attaches to the shoulder blade and sternum. Misalignments between these bones occur easily and can pinch tendons, nerves, blood vessels and cause pain and irritation locally. The pain can arise from an overload, an acute injury or a compensation from another place in the body.

Pain in the shoulder region

In the case of pain in the shoulder, the mobility of the shoulder and joint connections will always be assessed. When the arm is moved, the shoulder blade will naturally follow. If there are tight muscles or restrictions in the joints that prevent movement, this will create an imbalance locally in the joint.

Impingement

If there is a misalignment in the joints in the shoulder yoke, pinching (impingement) of tendons, bursae, ligaments etc. can occur. The muscles around the joint will typically be out of balance and be the primary cause of the pinching. With the P-DTR technique, these can be treated and the cause of impingement found. 

Frozen shoulder/adhesive capsulitis

Capsulitis, an inflammatory condition in the joint capsule of the shoulder joint, colloquially known as "Frozen shoulder". It manifests itself in pain and significantly reduced mobility in the shoulder, which comes on insidiously. It can cause problems with dressing, washing/combing hair and raising the arm higher than shoulder height. There is typically pain at night and when resting. The prognosis is that it takes 1-3 years to recover and that approx. 2% of the population is affected (www.sundhed.dk). 

Fast effect on frozen shoulder

It is our experience that approx. half of the clients with frozen shoulders treated in the clinic can be helped. Here's a client's opinion from Google after treating a frozen shoulder:

I came to Annika with a so-called ‘frozen shoulder”. I was in Copenhagen just for holidays but a friends’ friend recommended Annika so much that I decided to try. I really don’t regret. In only 1 meeting plus a half meeting (had to catch a plane), I feel I can enjoy so much more movements will my shoulder. Time will tell if it will soon heal but I surely did more progress in 2 days than 2 months of different therapists at home. She really did wonder! I warmly recommend her” Lorie Hn
