How Can Physical Therapy Help
Physical Therapy is often very useful for shoulder bursitis. Commonly, a patient will visit their Primary Care Physician complaining of shoulder pain and will be referred to a PT. They can confirm the diagnosis of shoulder bursitis by completing a detailed history of the problem, along with a thorough evaluation of the shoulder joint (motion, strength, pain, sensation, joint mobility). Once the evaluation is complete and treatment is initiated, it will usually consist of the following:
Behavior Modification:
Instructions will be given on how to change activities to limit more trauma to the area.
Postural Modification:
Poor posture is often associated with bursitis. Improper posture causes mal-alignment of the shoulder joint and contributes to impingement. Instructions will be given on how to correct posture.
Therapeutic Exercise:
In order to correct posture and regain strength and motion in the shoulder joint, it is necessary to perform specific exercises that will target these areas.
Modalities:
A physical therapist will use many modalities (or pieces of equipment) in the clinic to help relieve inflammation and pain. You can expect to receive and or all of the following:
Electrical Stimulation, Ultrasound, Ice, Heat, Iontophoresis
Manual Techniques:
The use of joint and soft tissue mobilization can help increase motion in the joint and decrease pain in the local area.
