Prolotherapy to the Shoulder
A proper diagnosis of shoulder pain is essential to determine the root cause of the problem and the proper method of treatment. Because many shoulder conditions are caused by specific activities, a detailed medical history is an invaluable tool. A physical examination should also include screening for physical abnormalities—swelling, deformity, muscle weakness, and tender areas—and observing the range of shoulder motion—how far and in which directions the arm can be moved.

This is when a Prolotherapist and his ability to reproduce pain by touching is invaluable. If you can put your finger on the exact spot that is causing the pain, then there is a high probability that you are a candidate for shoulder Prolotherapy since most shoulder problems involve the soft tissues—muscles, ligaments, and tendons—rather than the bones. These soft tissue injuries are precisely the kinds of injury that respond so effectively to Prolotherapy.

My Own Failed Shoulder Surgery
It wasn't until I severely wrenched my right shoulder while lifting weights that I came to understand how medicine had failed pain sufferers and how Prolotherapy was a "miracle."

More on Shoulder Arthritis
Arthritis to the shoulder is usually triggered by an injury such as a dislocation or separation that has not healed properly. In these cases or even in the cases of past surgical intervention, connection soft tissues--the ligaments, tendons, and cartilage, have not completely healed or have become overstretched (ligament and tendon laxity).

Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
Shoulder impingement syndrome involves one or a combination of problems: inflammation of the bursa located just over the rotator cuff, inflammation of the rotator cuff tendons, (tendinitis), or calcium deposits in tendons—called calcific tendonitis, (caused by wear and tear or injury.) The main problem is usually that the acromium or a bone spur puts pressure on the supraspinatus tendon.

Shoulder Dislocations
Sometimes the bones in the shoulder joint slip out of normal alignment or are forced out by injury-subluxation and dislocation. For those individuals who suffer from chronic shoulder instability, dislocations may occur frequently.

Chronic Shoulder Instability Syndrome
Chronic shoulder instability syndrome results from trauma caused by subluxations, dislocations, from less detectable micro-trauma caused by repetitive strain on the tissues, or from congenitally loose shoulder joints.

Critical Life Changes and Neck/Shoulder Pain. A Connection?
Researchers writing in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health say that "Life events and critical life changes are of importance for the risk of neck/shoulder pain..."
