Our team of experienced physiotherapists and chiropractors conducts thorough assessments to accurately diagnose shoulder conditions and evaluate their severity. Utilizing advanced diagnostic tools such as imaging studies and clinical evaluations, we identify the underlying issues contributing to frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injuries, impingement, tendinitis, and calcific tendinitis. This precise assessment enables us to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual’s specific needs and goals.

Comprehensive Approach to Address Associated Issues:

Beyond managing the primary shoulder condition, we recognize the importance of addressing associated issues to promote long-term shoulder health. Our comprehensive approach targets not only the symptoms but also the underlying factors contributing to shoulder dysfunction. We provide support and guidance to address issues such as muscle imbalances, joint stiffness, poor posture, and lifestyle factors that may exacerbate shoulder pain and dysfunction.

Personalized Treatment Plans for Effective Management:

Upon diagnosis, our team develops personalized treatment plans based on the individual’s unique shoulder condition, symptoms, and functional limitations. These plans may include a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, modalities, and patient education. We aim to reduce pain, improve range of motion, restore strength and stability, and optimize shoulder function to facilitate a return to activities of daily living and recreational pursuits.

Specialized Techniques for Shoulder Rehabilitation:

We offer specialized rehabilitation techniques tailored to address the specific challenges of frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injuries, impingement, tendinitis, and calcific tendinitis. Our treatment protocols may include:

• Manual therapy techniques such as joint mobilizations, fascial stretch therapy,, acupuncture, soft tissue mobilization, and myofascial release to address joint stiffness, muscle tightness, and tissue restrictions.
• Therapeutic exercises targeting shoulder muscles and surrounding structures to improve strength, flexibility, and neuromuscular control.
• Modalities such as ultrasound therapy,shockwave therapy,  electrical stimulation, and laser therapy to reduce pain, inflammation, and promote tissue healing.
