Hip, Groin, and Shoulder
Pain Treatment Canberra
Struggling to Achieve
Full Motion?
Your joints are key for your mobility and flexibility. Sometimes, body parts like hips and shoulders don’t even cross our mind as being vulnerable. But as soon as pain starts to flare up, you’re bound to realise just how crucial they are. Suddenly, you can’t reach for something up on the top shelf. Maybe walking is now filled with excruciating flares of pain in your hips. Standing, washing your hair, exercising, lifting – essential parts of life rely on our major joints!
Hip and Shoulder
Pain Symptoms
Physiotherapy is all about taking care of our complicated musculoskeletal system. It can be easy to dismiss minor symptoms without realising that they are indicators of something much more serious. Countless patients will have put up with achy joints for years before booking an appointment – but why? What could there be to gain from living life in constant discomfort? Let’s say goodbye to pain and nip it in the bud.
If you’re wondering whether your hip or shoulder pain could be worth checking out, here is a quick list of some of the most common symptoms we see:
- Sharp pains or throbbing aches
- Pain in deep in the shoulder joint
- Pain in the back or front of the shoulder
- Pain that radiates down into the upper arm
- Limited range of movement and discomfort when moving the shoulder
- Weakness in the shoulder or upper arm
- Difficulty lifting or reaching up high
- Tingling sensations, pins and needles, or burning pain
- Pain felt close to the surface of the hip
- Pain coming from deep inside the hip joint
- Pain radiating up into the lower back
- Pain that spreads into the groin
If you are experiencing any of the listed symptoms or other forms of uncomfortable pain, book an appointment right away.
