Shoulder pain conditions we treat.

Shoulder pain has many sources. These are the conditions we diagnose and treat most often.

  • Rotator Cuff Tears

    Torn or inflamed shoulder tendons that cause pain and weakness when lifting or reaching overhead.

  • Frozen Shoulder

    Stiffness and pain from a tightened joint capsule that gradually restricts normal shoulder movement.

  • Shoulder Impingement

    Tendons pinched beneath the shoulder blade, causing pain when reaching overhead or lifting your arm.

  • Shoulder Arthritis

    Painful joint inflammation and cartilage wear that limits motion and causes chronic discomfort.

  • Shoulder Instability/Dislocation

    Recurring dislocations that leave the shoulder loose, weak, and prone to reinjury.

  • Labral Tears

    Damaged cartilage in the shoulder socket that causes catching, pain, and reduced strength.

Why shoulder pain shouldn't be ignored.

Untreated shoulder problems get harder to treat, and pain often spreads toward the neck or down to the elbow the longer it lingers.

  • Persistent, recurring pain. Pain that returns after rest and over-the-counter medication often signals an underlying structural problem.
  • Disrupted sleep and daily life. Shoulder pain that disturbs sleep, especially for side sleepers, can affect overall health and recovery.
  • Reliance on medication. Painkillers mask symptoms without treating the cause, often needing higher doses over time.

Non-surgical shoulder treatments.

Every treatment is non-surgical. Dr. Menon performs shoulder injections under live ultrasound guidance, so medication reaches the exact structure causing your pain.

I started seeing Dr Menon about 2 years ago for shoulder pain. An MRI showed 2 tears in my shoulder. I didn’t want surgery. Dr Menon recommended PRP, which we did. She also prescribed physical therapy. The results have been amazing. I rarely have pain now and I’m regaining range of motion.

Shoulder pain questions, answered.

Still unsure? Call us and a person will answer.

What Are the Best Injections for Shoulder Pain?
Corticosteroid injections for inflammation, ultrasound-guided injections for precise placement in the tendon or joint, and regenerative options such as PRP for healing, chosen based on your diagnosis.
Does Insurance Cover Shoulder Injections?
Coverage varies by plan and type. Corticosteroid injections are widely covered, and many plans, including Medicare, cover other image-guided injections when criteria are met. Medicare is accepted directly. For all other insurers, our team provides free benefits verification before your visit. Start with our insurance verification page.
How Long Does Relief From a Shoulder Injection Last?
It varies. Corticosteroid injections often ease pain for two to three months or longer, and results depend on the condition being treated and your response.
Can Shoulder Injections Help Me Avoid Surgery?
For many patients, targeted injections plus physical therapy may ease pain and improve motion without surgery. They are not a cure; a large tear or a shoulder that stays locked may still need a surgical opinion.
Why Does My Shoulder Hurt When I Reach Overhead?
Reaching overhead can pinch irritated rotator cuff tendons between the shoulder bones, a pattern common with impingement, tendonitis, and some rotator cuff tears. Pain that persists deserves evaluation.
What Is Frozen Shoulder and How Is It Treated?
Frozen shoulder is stiffness and pain from a tightened joint capsule that limits movement. Many patients improve with corticosteroid injections and physical therapy, though recovery can take months.
