Our experienced musculoskeletal clinicians have been treating rotator cuff injuries for many years and have gained an excellent reputation in this very complex common area. It is our primary objective to reduce shoulder rotator cuff pain, prevent further damage, improve shoulder function and get people back to their normal daily activities and occupation as soon as possible. We can provide many different types of treatment for your shoulder pain or injury that may be suitable for you. Below we would like to provide you with a basic overview.

What are the causes of shoulder rotator cuff injury?

Shoulder pain is an extremely common compliant, primarily caused from rotator injury. Rotator cuff injuries are commonly caused from direct trauma (i.e fall or sports injury), occupational demands or from progressive degenerative changes. This often leads to ongoing pain and reduced function. Most cases of rotator cuff damage and shoulder pain are triggered by a combination of age, poor posture, overuse, repetition, injury (or trauma), occupational strain, genetic predisposition and inflammation. Severity can vary, depending on cases of mild to moderate to severe.

It is very important to be aware of alternate causes of shoulder pain, like inflammatory arthritis or polymyalgia rheumatica. Other important symptoms to be aware of are prolonged morning joint stiffness, multiple joint pain, fever, altered sensation, fatigue, weight loss and unremitting night pain.

Shoulder rotator cuff injury can be caused from many different reasons mentioned above. Ultimately, we want to reduce pain, improve function and slow the disease progression. At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, shoulder rotator cuff injury is extremely common and something we see many times every day. Cases can range from mild-moderate to severe. We always explain to every patient the importance of treating rotator cuff tears early, to treat and slow progressive degeneration. Severe tears often require surgical intervention. That being said, we treat all cases of rotator cuff injuries.

Where possible, we like to enforce conservative treatment and management of shoulder pain and injury. But in many cases, extra resources are needed and encouraged. We have built ourselves a very good reputation of delivering high quality regenerative treatments for shoulder pain. The most popular by far being P-PRP injection treatment, in which patients travel from all over the UK to see us for treatment (further information can be found on the ORTHOBIOLOGICS link below). If patients are showing signs of advanced injury or disease then we may discuss the option for an MRI scanning, to get diagnostic clarity of what it is that may be causing the issue.

If a cause of your shoulder pain is suspected to be of an rheumatological origin, then you will be asked to provide a blood test to check for raised inflammatory markers and maybe immunological makers.

Referral for Specialist Imaging or Private MRI Scans

At our shoulder pain clinics in Birmingham and Warwickshire, we can provide ultrasound imaging to look for signs of tissue damage and inflammation. However, the shoulder region can require a more in-depth analysis using an MRI. If a private MRI scan is considered, we will put in a local referral to our Imaging Centre in Solihull. You will then be booked in within a few days. Following your scan, the report will be completed by a Consultant Musculoskeletal Radiologist. This report will then come back to us and will we then discuss with you the best course of treatment for your complaint.

In cases where the injury disease progression is too severe, or the problem is not getting better than we may refer to our trusted surgical colleague Mr Samir Massoud (Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon) for surgical opinion.

Shoulder Pain and Tendinitis Assessment

To help your shoulder pain or rotator cuff injury, we firstly need to provide a functional assessment. If you have been suffering with shoulder pain which has not been improving or is impacting on your function, it is recommended to see a musculoskeletal professional for assessment. With this we will be able to provide a full assessment, gain information to make a diagnosis and provide the best treatment and management strategies to resolve your pain and get you back to best function again. At our pain and injury clinics in Birmingham and Henley In Arden, shoulder pain and injury is a very common issue we see every day. Our experienced musculoskeletal clinician, Mr Adam Whatley will be able to provide assessment, diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of shoulder injuries from sport injuries to osteoarthritis.

INJECTION TREATMENT FOR SHOULDER PAIN AND ROTATOR CUFF INJURY

Occasionally, shoulder pain and injuries to muscles and tendons can turn into chronic pain. In these cases, the body may sometimes need a push to assist with healing and repair of damaged tissue. Injection therapy for shoulder pain and injury can also be commonly used to treat stubborn conditions and can deliver fantastic success in many cases. There are many different forms of injection therapies but the most common are steroid injections, platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections and hyaluronic acid.

Steroid (cortisone) Injection treatment for shoulder pain and injury

Individuals who have been suffering with shoulder pain or injury who have not responded fully to conservative treatment options may be advised to consider a cortisone (steroid) injection to reduce pain and inflammation. However, it is very important to understand that these injections (if successful) are often only short-lived and may have an overall degenerative effect on the local tissue and cartilage if repeated. Although they can be good for reducing inflammation, cortisone injections are not routinely used for ongoing shoulder pain or injury due to weakening of important tissues. This can put tendons at an increased risk for rupture (tear), if repeated too often.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection treatment for shoulder pain and injury

Growing extremely fast in popularity, platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection treatment is a safe natural treatment commonly used in many different cases of musculoskeletal pain and injury. PRP treatment uses platelets from the patient’s blood to promote and facilitate healing and repair of damaged tissue. Increased scientific literature from evidence-based clinical trials are repeatedly showing how platelet rich plasma (PRP) treatment is safe and effective treatment for many types of shoulder pain and injury, also having improved benefits over cortisone, particularly for long term benefit.
