Shoulder Pain Treatment In Pimpri Chinchwad

While diagnosing shoulder pain, your doctor will first conduct a thorough physical examination to:

• Compare your shoulders – Check whether your joint is dislocated.
• Check for any bruising, redness or swelling.
• Check if any pressure applied to your joints and bones causes any pain.
• Check if any particular arm movements are causing pain.

Depending on the results of this examination, your doctor may prescribe certain investigative tests such as:

X-ray – An X-ray of your shoulder joint will help detect any problems with the bones. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) – This test will help detect problems with soft tissues such as tendons and ligaments.

Ultrasound scan – This test can also help diagnose problems with ligaments, tendons and joints.

Blood tests – These tests will help identify if there is any underlying issue such as a cancerous tumour, diabetes or polymyalgia rheumatica causing the shoulder pain.
