Somerset, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/07/2017 -- The University Pain Medicine Center is pleased to announce it has numerous treatment options available for patients experiencing varying forms of chronic or acute shoulder arthritis. The most common form of shoulder arthritis, osteoarthritis, is when the smooth cartilage that lines the ends of the bones gets eroded away and, in turn, the bone ends start rubbing against each other, resulting in a very limited range of motion. Other less common forms include rheumatoid, juvenile, and inflammatory arthritis of the shoulder.
Upon arrival at the University Pain Medicine Center for shoulder arthritis treatment, a patient will first undergo a physical exam which may include X-rays of the shoulder. Then, one of the medical facility's board-certified pain specialists in Woodbridge, NJ, will check the shoulder's range of motion for any pain, weakness, tenderness, or stiffness. Patients with A-C joint arthritis will undergo an MRI because they are at risk for possible rotator cuff tears. All patients experiencing arthritic conditions should rest, eliminate vigorous physical activity, and continue icing the affected area.
Not only does the pain treatment center help patients with varying forms of shoulder arthritis, but their physicians also offer numerous other pain relief therapies. The conditions they treat include back pain, fibromyalgia, cancer pain, degenerative disc disease, hip pain, headaches, and so much more. Residents in Piscataway, NJ in search of dedicated pain specialists should look no further than the dedicated team of professionals at the University Pain Medicine Center.
