Shoulder Pain: What You Need to Know

Did you know that shoulder pain or dysfunction affects nearly 1 in 10 people? Whether it’s impacting your ability to play sports, do your job, enjoy leisure activities, or even get a good night’s sleep, shoulder pain can seriously affect your quality of life. But the good news is—help is available.

At Mississauga Physiotherapy & Orthopedic Center, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of shoulder conditions.

Why the Shoulder is Prone to Injury

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body, allowing for an incredible range of movement. However, that mobility comes with a trade-off: reduced stability. Daily activities place the shoulder under constant strain—from repetitive motions to heavy lifting—which increases the risk of injury over time.

Common Shoulder Conditions We Treat

Our experienced team of therapists regularly manages:

• Rotator cuff strains and tears
• Tendonitis and bursitis
• Frozen shoulder
• Dislocations
• Arthritis
• Fractures
• Pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation

What Increases Your Risk?

Several factors can contribute to shoulder pain or increase your likelihood of injury:

• Repetitive tasks or overhead activities
• Sudden or rapid arm movements
• Long-term vibration exposure (e.g., tools/machinery)
• Poor posture
• Athletic or occupational strain
• Age-related changes
• History of previous shoulder injuries

How We Can Help

Our physiotherapists use advanced assessment and rehab techniques to uncover not just the pain itself—but also the root causes. Your personalized treatment plan will be designed to address both the symptoms and contributing factors, ensuring a more complete and long-lasting recovery.
