What Our Patients Say

Nonsurgical
​​​​​​​Treatments

Depending on the severity of your pain, Dr. Seade may suggest several non-invasive options before recommending surgery.

Rice

Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), is always a good starting point for joint pain. Avoid using the affected shoulder for an extended period of time to see if your pain subsides.

Over-the-Counter Medications

Certain prescribed medications might be recommended in addition to RICE to manage your shoulder pain. You should only take these medications as directed by your physician and let them know if they are not helping your pain.

Physical Therapy

A customized treatment plan developed by one of our physical therapists can help to strengthen the muscles around the joint and can often alleviate the pain.

Steroid Injections

Steroid injections are a minimally invasive way to treat shoulder pain. Steroids can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain in the joint.
