Managing Shoulder Pain - Dr. Armin Tehrany

http://www.mocnyc.com/ - Hot and cold packs can be very effective for shoulder problems, especially when patient first gets them. So, let's say after playing game shoulder feels swollen and sore, that's when a cold pack can be really helpful. By cooling the temperature of the skin and the muscles and the tissues in the shoulder, there's less pain.

Hot packs work very well for chronic shoulder soreness. So during the day for example, there is just sore in general or feels tight, the heat helps a lot because it increases the blood flow to the shoulder.

Steroid injections when properly indicated should be used. if I want to give someone pain relief here in the shoulder because they've got bursitis and they've get tendinitis and they can't sleep well, rather than to having them take an anti-inflammatory cage by mouth, that has to go all through the body before finally gets into the shoulder, I like to just give the steroid anti-inflammatory right in the shoulder.
