Our shoulder is the most movable joint in the human body. That is why shoulder pain or tightness is common, affecting 18 to 26 percent of adults. Luckily there are many ways to ease the pain and discomfort in our shoulders aside from doing exercise.
Here are some effective ways to relieve your Shoulder Pain:
- Put ice on the shoulder area for 15 minutes then leave it off for 15 minutes. Repeat this about 3 to 4 times a day for 2 to 3 days. Make sure to wrap the ice in a cloth and do not put it directly on the skin since it can result in frostbite.
- Slowly return to your regular activities by undergoing Physical Therapy first so that your physical therapist can help you do this safely.
- Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen such as Tylenol to help reduce inflammation and pain.
- Relax your body and rest your shoulder for the next few days.
If the pain doesn’t go away for how many days or weeks, then this might be the time for you to seek help from those who provide reliable Physiotherapy.
