Shoulder Pain Conditions We Treat
Shoulder pain can develop for many different reasons, and the right treatment depends on the underlying problem. Our shoulder pain management services may help patients experiencing conditions such as:
Shoulder Joint Wear, Damage, and Instability
Structural shoulder conditions affect the bones, cartilage, and joint surfaces that help the shoulder move smoothly. These problems can develop from aging, previous injuries, repetitive stress, or changes within the shoulder joint.
When the joint is affected, patients may experience pain, stiffness, clicking, weakness, or reduced movement. Symptoms may become more noticeable when reaching overhead, lifting, dressing, or performing everyday activities.
Common conditions we treat:
- Shoulder Arthritis
- Glenohumeral Joint Pain
- Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint Pain
- Shoulder Joint Degeneration
- Shoulder Instability
- Shoulder Stiffness and Reduced Mobility
Tendon, Muscle, and Bursa Injuries
Soft tissue shoulder conditions affect the tendons, muscles, and bursae that support and control shoulder movement. These problems commonly develop from overuse, repetitive overhead movements, sports, sudden injuries, or ongoing strain.
When these tissues become irritated or damaged, patients may experience pain, weakness, tenderness, swelling, or difficulty moving the arm. Pain may be worse when reaching overhead, lifting, throwing, or sleeping on the affected shoulder.
Common conditions we treat:
- Rotator Cuff Injuries and Tears
- Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
- Shoulder Tendonitis
- Subacromial Bursitis
- Muscle Strains and Partial Tears
- Overuse Shoulder Injuries
- Sports-Related Shoulder Injuries
Nerve Irritation, Compression, and Referred Shoulder Pain
Nerve-related shoulder pain can occur when nerves around the shoulder or neck become irritated, compressed, stretched, or damaged. Symptoms can also originate from the cervical spine and travel into the shoulder and arm.
Patients may experience burning, tingling, numbness, shooting pain, unusual sensitivity, or weakness. Symptoms may sometimes extend from the neck into the shoulder, arm, or hand.
Common conditions we treat:
- Suprascapular Nerve Entrapment
- Axillary Nerve Injury
- Cervical Radiculopathy
- Brachial Plexus-Related Pain
- Post-Surgical Nerve Pain

“When I came to Dr. Cherubini I could barely walk. After having Stem Cell treatments, my knee pain vanished but my ligaments acted up (former dancer). Dr. Cherubini resolved all the problems and I am walking better now than a decade ago. The staff is knowledgeable and kind. I am so glad I found Dr. Cherubini.”
