Shoulder pain is a common condition among individuals of all ages, and it can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that affects everyday activities. The shoulder joint is a complex joint that allows for a wide range of motion, making it susceptible to Shoulder injury and wear and tear over time.
Causes of Shoulder Pain:
Shoulder pain can have several causes, including:
Rotator cuff injury:
This is a common cause of shoulder pain, which occurs when the tendons or muscles that make up the rotator cuff are damaged.
Shoulder impingement syndrome:
This condition occurs when the rotator cuff tendons become pinched between the shoulder blade and the upper arm bone, causing pain and inflammation.
Bursitis:
This condition occurs when the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that cushions the shoulder joint, becomes inflamed and swollen.
Frozen shoulder:
Also known as adhesive capsulitis, this condition occurs when the shoulder joint becomes stiff and painful, making it difficult to move.
Osteoarthritis:
This is a condition in which the cartilage in the shoulder joint breaks down over time, causing pain and stiffness.
Fractures:
A broken bone in the shoulder can cause severe pain and limited range of motion.
How to Prevent Shoulder Pain
Preventing shoulder pain can be challenging, but there are some steps individuals can take to reduce their risk of injury, including:
- Maintaining good posture: Slouching or hunching over can put unnecessary strain on the shoulders, leading to pain and discomfort.
- Strengthening exercises: Regularly performing exercises that strengthen the muscles in the shoulders can help reduce the risk of injury.
- Warm-up exercises: Performing warm-up exercises before engaging in physical activity can help prepare the muscles for movement and reduce the risk of injury.
- Using proper technique: Whether it’s lifting weights or playing a sport, using proper technique can help reduce the risk of shoulder injury.
- Taking breaks: Taking regular breaks when performing repetitive tasks can help reduce the risk of overuse injuries.
Treatment options:
Specific treatment of shoulder Pain will be determined by your doctor based on:
● Your age, physical condition, and medical history
● Expectations for the course of the condition
● The severity of the condition
● Your ability to tolerate specific medications, procedures, or therapies

Toni SeyhunMay 15, 2023I started seeing Dr Kneeman a few months ago. He is kind and listens to you. I've had the best experience with him. Just had a spinal injection and he made sure I was not uncomfortable. He is the best!Deborah SpindlerFebruary 14, 2023Ally LudlumDecember 9, 2022Dr. Kneeman took over my care about a year ago, though I have been under KPA's care for about 6 years now. I started with Dr. Gupta. I had been unable to work due to Occipital Neuralgia (diagnosed just before I came to Dr. Gupta), and Dr. Gupta got me back to work in about 3 years, which was an amazing feat! With my treatment plan in place, and Dr. Gupta spending less time at the pain clinic in Ottawa, I started seeing others in his practice. They were great doctors! But I never felt the same level of engagement with them as I had felt with Dr. Gupta. Then I found Dr. Kneeman!! I am always a nervous wreck when I see someone new, but Dr. Kneeman is awesome! Calm as a cucumber while still being very engaged! He's very thorough and very practiced with the tools of his trade! When we decided it was time to renew my RFA (radiofrequency ablation) and we went to do the nerve-block tests, Dr. Kneeman prevented me from experiencing potentially terrifying side-effects! There had been a miscommunication from the last time I had nerve block done (not with KPM) and I was not supposed to be taking OTC aspirin for a week prior to the blocks! (Which I had been as I had no idea!) Dr. Kneeman is the one who discovered this, through the nurse asking him about Ibuprofen that I had taken earlier the day before so he came in to talk to me. We could not do the nerve block that day, but I was, and am, incredibly grateful that he caught the issue before it could become a terrifying experience! Yesterday I had my RFA with him, and he was just as awesome as ever! It helped that I knew I was in amazingly competent hands, so it seemed like no time at all I was back at home, feeling better already! TlDr: I started with Dr. Gupta (who remains awesome), but I am also ecstatically happy that I am now Dr. Kneeman's patient. Both doctors are absolutely incredible and I am so, so grateful to and for them.Amanda ConcannonDecember 6, 2022The Doctors and nursing staff are so wonderful here. They listen to you and work diligently to make you more comfortable. I have lived with an enormous amount of pain for too long. Washing dishes, cooking, getting into my bed and sleeping ,and several minor activities are so painful for me. The doctors here have worked with me and have given me treatment that has made an enormous difference in my life. I recommend them 100% over any other place you could go.Tom DavidsonSeptember 23, 2022I've been going to see Dr. GUPTA for several years. He interested me in using a Nevro Device for the pain in my legs & back. Many years ago I had back surgery & over the years the pain had gotten almost unbearable. The device was a godsend. The follow ups by Nevro people were great & helpful. The staff are very helpful and friendly.Opal WatsonSeptember 23, 2022Good experience every time..staff is great...Dr Gupta is the best...have experiences with him over several years....
