I make no apologies for including a post on shoulder pain. Although this blog primarily concerns itself with back pain, as you know, having suffered from them all I have this theory (unproved of course) that back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain and knee pain are related to some degree.
Anyway,I found this story on the Daily Mail website and thought it worth a mention.
We are all familiar with the ultrasound shockwave technique that has been used for years now to treat kidney stones. It is now being prescribed to patients whose chronic shoulder pain has not responded to painkillers or physiotherapy, with excellent results.
Shock waves are high-energy sound waves, traditionally used to break up kidney stones. However, they are also thought to accelerate the healing process by stimulating the circulation - it's thought this can help damaged tissue regenerate and, therefore, heal more quickly.
The treatment has been used for a number of other pain conditions, including knee osteoarthritis. After just two or three sessions, more than 80 per cent of patients with shoulder pain reported a significant reduction in pain.
Although the story is based on an Italian trial the treatment is already generally available, I found results for clinics in the UK.
You can find it on this page. It's the second item.
The best way to get the shoulder pain is just go for such therapies that have been explained in this blog.

Treatment using shockwave therapy has improved the condition of various muscle related issues. This technique is now being followed in various parts of the world and all the cases have shown positive results on use of this therapy.

Yes, it's surprising how often a treatment originally developed for one condition can benefit another.
