Understanding Shoulder Pain
Estimates for the prevalence of shoulder pain can range up to 67% of the population for lifetime prevalence. Millions of people are severely limited in their mobility, daily activities, and quality of life. The shoulder joint is particularly prone to injuries and degenerative conditions. Our personalized approach to shoulder pain management is designed to:
- Increase range of motion and flexibility
- Reduce pain and inflammation
- Address the root causes, such as joint instability and tissue damage
- Create a long-term maintenance program
Treating Sports-Related Shoulder Injuries
Athletes from the pro leagues to the backyard frequently encounter shoulder injuries due to repetitive motions and overuse. At the Pain Center of Rhode Island, we treat sports-related back injuries with cutting-edge therapies that many other clinics in Rhode Island don’t offer together. Our approach is focused on addressing the root causes of pain and dysfunction to help you:
- Recover effectively without surgery.

“Correcting posture and alignment plays a critical role in effectively treating shoulder pain conditions. A comprehensive approach to posture correction not only alleviates existing discomfort but also helps prevent future injuries, promoting long-term shoulder health and functionality.” – Sheila Maguire
EMTT, Radial Shockwave, Focused Shockwave, and Red Laser Therapy
The Pain Center of Rhode Island is the only clinic in the state offering the synergistic combination of Radial Shockwaves for surface-level pain covering a large area. Focused Shockwaves for targeting deep into tissue and muscle pains. EMTT for large areas and patient comfort. Together, these innovative treatments yield exceptional results. In addition we also offer Red Laser Therapy which triggers photobiomodulation to repair tissues, reduce inflammation, and increase blood flow.
Clinical research (summarized by us in this article) confirms the efficacy of Shockwave Therapy for improving function and alleviating pain in shoulder conditions, with minimal risk of adverse effects.
Additionally, EMTT has proven particularly effective in treating shoulder tendinopathies, making it a key part of the targeted care we offer to our patients.
