If you have shoulder pain or stiffness or aches, you may be like others and believe it will just “go away on it’s own” or that you will have to live with it.  It’s probably just from moving too much yesterday is what your internal voice might be saying. 

​

But now it doesn’t seem to be “going away”.

​

If this is happening to you, you're not alone - we hear this type of thing all the time. In fact shoulder pain is a problem we see more and more of in our Home Program at Achieva Rehab.

​

Everyone like you wants to know the same things:

“Why Am I Hurting?”

Or

“Why Is This Pain Lasting So Long?  Nothing I’ve Tried Has Worked.”

​

Many people just like you think that shoulder pain will disappear without doing anything like a magician’s assistant in a large black box.  Six months later, not only is the pain still around…it’s worse!”

​

Does That Sound Like You?

Some people have decided to do something about it so they see their family doctor who tells them to rest, take medications and “see how it goes”.  Sounds like a plan…surely that is what will work.

​

Unfortunately this is rarely the best advice. A lot of times, they end up going back to the doctor again because the pain hasn’t changed.  This time, they're told by their doctor to see a specialist whose advice is a shot or have surgery. This explains why so many people are living with chronic pain.

​

Has This Happened To You?

Why does pain last longer than it should? It's easy to get confused because you've been told so many different things by different people. There are lots of people out there who are happy to give you advice, but not all of the things you hear are reliable.

​

Your shoulder pain might have been caused by something like lifting or bending awkwardly, but it could have been caused by other things that were never properly taken care of (e.g. poor posture, stiffness, weakness and muscle imbalance etc.) These things along with that time you lifted something awkwardly, finally caused that pain you are experiencing.

​

The shoulder is very complex and the pain can be very confusing. Because of that many people end up accepting that shoulder pain is just part of being lucky enough to live a long life.

​

Do You Feel That Way Too?

 

If You’re Currently Living With Shoulder Pain, Here Are 7 Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:

·1. You thought it would go away on its own - but it didn’t.

​

·2. You went to the Doctor who told you to rest and take pain medications - but the pills either did NOT help, or helped only for a short period of time.  (Your body can actually get used to the pain meds and they become less effective).

​

·3. A friend, or family told you that they’ve gotten shoulder pain as they get older, so you just accepted it.

​

·4. You tried other Healthcare Professionals, or a Physical Therapist in the past, unsuccessfully.

​

·5. You tried YouTube exercises but they either did nothing, or made your shoulder pain worse.

​

·6. You thought it would be a good idea to rest because your pain was so bad, but all that did was make it feel even more stiff and tight.  And..your muscles weakened.

​

·7. You decided to get a few “massages” hoping that would fix the pain, but all they did was feel nice and relaxing, and didn’t do anything to fix it long term…
