Treatment of shoulder pain at Osteopathy Bern

Shoulder pain

Did you know that over 30% of the Swiss population suffer from painful restricted movement in the shoulder?

Shoulder pain often occurs in workers beyond the age of 50 and is often due to occupations or everyday activities that overload the shoulder.

They are characterized by stiffness, limited range of motion and pain in the shoulder joint.

Shoulder pain is very common and, depending on the cause, can be self-limiting and/or helped by manual therapy such as osteopathy. However, if the pain persists for more than 2 weeks and/or occurs at night, you should see a doctor.

Common causes of shoulder pain

Strained muscles or ligaments, usually due to overloading (e.g., during overhead work)
Disc problems that cause pain in the shoulder
Arthritis/Arthrosis
Local or generalized swelling due to other underlying pathologies
Previous/current local injuries
Overuse in the course of time
