Hello, The treatment of soft-tissue shoulder pain includes the use of anti-inflammatory medication and/or paracetamol. Pain may also be treated with a local application of moist heat or ice.
A local corticosteroid injection is often helpful for inflammation of the shoulder. For shoulder pain, movement exercises and physiotherapy may help. For cases in which tendons or ligaments are involved, surgical procedures may be necessary.
