Understanding shoulder injury therapy
Not necessarily. Oftentimes, shoulder pain can be solved or drastically improved by physical therapy; however, sometimes surgery is necessary. During your evaluation, your therapist will determine if you are a good candidate for physical therapy or if further diagnostic testing is needed.
The length of outpatient therapy varies from person to person; however, therapy for shoulder pain and injuries usually lasts 4-6 weeks. Your therapist will work with you to develop a customized and effective treatment plan to help you achieve your best recovery.
Most of the time, addressing the underlying issue(s) such as weakness, tightness, or decreased range of motion can immensely help reduce symptoms and pain; however, depending on what is causing the shoulder pain, physical therapy can help alleviate and control the symptoms, but may not be able to resolve the underlying issue such as arthritis or a small rotator cuff tear.
Typically, someone experiencing shoulder pain will benefit from outpatient therapy services. Patients with complex shoulder pain/conditions may be eligible for inpatient rehab if they have more than one disease or condition present at the same time that requires 24/7 care and physician oversight.
