Journal Title: Issues of Rehabilitation, Orthopaedics, Neurophysiology and Sport Promotion-IRONS - Year 2016, Vol 14, Issue 14
Abstract
Introduction The pain is one of the most common symptoms of shoulder injuries or its disorders. Therapeutic teams can choose the best option for their patients from many treatment methods. Not all of them are scientifically evaluated. Aim The aim of this study is to determine which of the non-operative methods of the shoulder pain treatment are proved as effective in the literature. Methods The review of available Evidence Based Medicine literature on non-operative methods of shoulder injuries treatment. Results and conclusions The most effective therapy techniques towards pain in shoulder are pharmacological treatment (corticosteroid injections, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), physiotherapeutic exercises (stretching, shoulder muscle balance exercises, eccentric training), manual therapy (muscle relaxation techniques, myofascial trigger points therapy). Physical therapy procedures may improve the final results of conservative treatment.
