Shoulder pain
Shoulder pain: detailed assessment and phased treatment
Specialist care for shoulder pain in Málaga, with musculoskeletal ultrasound to refine the diagnosis when it is needed.
Common cases
Shoulder problems we commonly treat
We work with frequent shoulder conditions using the same approach: understand the case, set priorities and build a clear plan.
01
Rotator cuff tendinopathy
Pain when lifting the arm, sleeping on the shoulder or loading weight. Functional assessment and guided load progression.
02
Frozen or stiff shoulder
Clear limitation of movement with pain. A phased plan adapted to the current stage of the process.
03
Post-surgical shoulder recovery
Recovery of movement, strength and tolerance after surgery or immobilisation, with follow-up and adjustments.
04
Subacromial pain and bursitis
Localized pain with specific movements. We assess load, posture and the tissues that may be involved.
05
Instability or repeated clicking
A feeling that the shoulder may slip or repeated clicking. We assess the case and train active stability.
06
Sport-related shoulder pain
Swimming, padel, tennis, CrossFit or gym training. We review the real load of the sport and progress with clear reasoning.
Ultrasound
Musculoskeletal ultrasound: when it helps in shoulder pain
In the shoulder, ultrasound is the most informative tool we have: it shows the state of the tissues in real time. That's why, in this area, we use it as part of the initial assessment in almost every case.
- Shows the state of the tissues in real time.
- Provides useful clinical information for better decisions.
- In the shoulder, we use it as part of the initial assessment.
