Physical Therapy for Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain is a common complaint among many people of all ages and can be a result of many factors including repetitive overhead activity, sports injuries, overexertion, pinched nerves, dislocation, fractures and improper lifting and reaching techniques. Some shoulder pain symptoms may include difficulty carrying objects, difficulty lifting the arm, loss of motion, numbness, pain, inflammation, and tingling sensation.
Treating Shoulder Pain

Bull Dawg’s physical therapists are familiar with the various ailments that can occur in the shoulder such as frozen shoulder, shoulder joint sprains and strains, rotator cuff tears, bicep muscle tendonitis, improper shoulder blade function, upper limb impingement, and pre/post-surgical rehabilitation.
