Shoulder Pain
Shoulder Pain Relief at Dr. Shahzad Farooq Knee & Spine Laser Clinic The shoulder joint is one of the most mobile and complex joints in the human body. Its wide range of motion allows us to lift, push, pull, and rotate—but it also makes the shoulder highly prone to injury and degeneration. At Dr. Shahzad Farooq’s clinic, we provide specialized, non-surgical treatments that target the root causes of shoulder pain and restore mobility.

Understanding the Shoulder Joint
The shoulder consists of three main bones:
- Humerus (upper arm bone)
- Clavicle (collarbone)
- Scapula (shoulder blade)
These bones connect at two joints:
- Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint
- Glenohumeral Joint
Both joints are cushioned by cartilage and powered by the rotator cuff—a group of four tendons that enable controlled arm movement. Damage, inflammation, or wear in these structures can result in chronic shoulder pain, stiffness, or loss of function.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain
- Arthritis & Osteoarthritis
- Impingement Syndrome (Bottleneck Syndrome)
- Rotator Cuff Tears or Tendon Rupture
- Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
- Calcific Tendonitis (Calcium Deposits in Tendons)
- Shoulder Instability or Dislocation
- Subacromial Bursitis
- AC Joint Degeneration
- Functional Shoulder Pain (Postural or Overuse-Related)
Our Shoulder Pain Treatment Options
We offer minimally invasive, targeted procedures to reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and relieve pain—without surgery.
1. Intra-Articular (I/A) Injections
Targeted injections (e.g., corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid) reduce joint inflammation and pain directly at the source.
2. Suprascapular Nerve Ablation (Laser)
This advanced laser-guided treatment deactivates pain signals from the suprascapular nerve, offering long-term relief for chronic shoulder conditions.
3. Mobilization Under Anesthesia (MUA)
Used for frozen shoulder, this technique involves gently stretching the joint capsule while the patient is under anesthesia to restore range of motion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Physical pain is a universal human experience, and anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background, can experience it. It may result from injuries, medical conditions, chronic illnesses, or even psychological factors. Pain is a complex sensation that varies in intensity and duration, affecting people across different life stages.
Injuries: Such as sprains, strains, fractures, or wounds.
Medical Conditions: Such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or inflammatory disorders.
Neurological Issues: Like neuropathy or nerve compression.
Post-Surgical Pain: After undergoing medical procedures or surgeries
Medications: Including analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, or muscle relaxants.
Physical Therapy: Involving exercises, stretches, and manual therapy to improve mobility and reduce pain.
Acute Pain: Often has a sudden onset and is usually related to a specific injury or medical condition. It serves as a protective response and typically resolves as the underlying cause heals. Chronic Pain: Persists for an extended period, often beyond the normal healing time. It may be linked to conditions like arthritis, nerve damage, or ongoing health issues. Chronic pain can significantly impact daily life and requires comprehensive management strategies.
