If you live in the Wodonga region and you need relief from shoulder pain now, you’re in the right place. Whether it’s a nagging ache, sharp twinges, or chronic discomfort that’s slowing you down, you shouldn’t have to put up with pain that limits your lifestyle.
Local physio, world class treatment
At the Optimum Clinic conveniently located in Wodonga, we provide lasting relief from shoulder pain – without risky surgeries, without relying on painkillers, and without spending hours in therapy sessions every week.
Shoulder pain treatment options
Many of our patients suffer from conditions like bursitis and rotator cuff impingement, which can cause significant pain, inflammation, and limited mobility. Our team at Optimum Clinic is highly trained and we take a hands-on approach to get real results. We identify and address the underlying issues using targeted treatments that reduce inflammation, relieve pressure on the shoulder joint, and restore natural movement without invasive procedures.
Our treatment methods combine proven, non-invasive techniques like:
- Targeted manual therapy – Gentle yet effective techniques to relieve tension and pain.
- Taping and support – To stabilise the area and promote faster healing.
- Dry needling/acupuncture – A research-backed method to release tight muscles and reduce pain.
- Custom exercise programmes – Designed to improve your strength, mobility, and posture.
- Advanced therapy technology – Electric stimulation machines that support muscle recovery and pain relief when needed.
Common shoulder conditions we treat
Shoulder pain can stem from a variety of issues, and at Optimum Clinic, we specialise in diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions. These include:
- Rotator cuff injuries – Whether it’s tendonitis, tears, or impingement, the rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that can become injured through repetitive strain or acute trauma, leading to pain, weakness, and limited mobility.
- Bursitis – Inflammation of the bursa (a fluid-filled sac that cushions the shoulder joint) can cause sharp pain, swelling, and discomfort, particularly when lifting your arm.
- Shoulder impingement syndrome – When the tendons of the rotator cuff become compressed or pinched during shoulder movement, it can result in persistent pain, especially when reaching overhead.
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) – Characterised by stiffness, pain, and limited range of motion, frozen shoulder often develops after an injury or surgery and can make simple movements feel impossible.
- Acromioclavicular (AC) joint dysfunction – Pain at the top of the shoulder, often from a direct injury or degenerative changes in the AC joint, can cause discomfort during overhead movements or lifting.
- Shoulder instability – This occurs when the structures that hold the shoulder in place (the labrum, rotator cuff, and ligaments) are damaged or weakened, leading to a feeling of “looseness” or even dislocations.
- Tendinopathy – Chronic irritation or degeneration of the shoulder tendons, often caused by overuse or age-related changes, can lead to pain, inflammation, and a decreased ability to lift or rotate the arm.
- Labral tears – Damage to the cartilage that lines the shoulder socket (the labrum) can cause pain, instability, and a clicking sensation in the joint, often requiring targeted rehabilitation.
- Post-surgical rehabilitation – If you’ve had shoulder surgery, whether it’s for a rotator cuff repair, joint replacement, or another procedure, we can guide you through the rehabilitation process, restoring strength, mobility, and function safely and effectively.
- Tension and trigger points – Sometimes, the muscles around the shoulder can develop painful knots (trigger points) due to stress, poor posture, or overuse. These can radiate pain and make the shoulder feel stiff or “locked.”
