Are you experiencing shoulder pain that interferes with your daily life? At Radiant Physical Therapy in San Jose, we are dedicated to helping you find relief and regain your mobility. Our skilled and compassionate therapists provide personalized treatment plans designed to address the root cause of your pain and promote long-term healing.

Common Causes of Shoulder Pain

Understanding the root cause of your shoulder pain is crucial for effective treatment. Here are some of the most common causes:

Rotator Cuff Injuries: The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. Injuries can occur due to overuse, aging, or sudden trauma, resulting in pain and limited movement.
Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): This condition causes stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, often developing gradually and leading to a significant reduction in the range of motion.
Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons, often caused by repetitive motion or overuse, can lead to substantial shoulder pain. This condition is common among athletes and individuals with physically demanding jobs.
Shoulder Impingement: This occurs when the shoulder blade exerts pressure on the underlying soft tissues during arm lifting, causing pain and inflammation, particularly in the rotator cuff tendons.
Arthritis: Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can affect the shoulder joint, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced mobility. This condition is more common in older adults but can affect individuals of all ages.

Our Approach to Shoulder Pain Treatment

At Radiant Physical Therapy, we offer a comprehensive approach to treating shoulder pain, focusing on both immediate relief and long-term recovery. Our services include:

Therapeutic Exercises: We design customized exercise programs to strengthen shoulder muscles, improve flexibility, and prevent future injuries.
Modalities: We utilize various modalities such as ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and heat/cold therapy to alleviate pain and promote healing.
