Shoulder osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative condition where the cartilage covering the bones of the shoulder joint wears down over time. This leads to:
Bone-on-bone contact
Chronic pain and inflammation
Stiffness and limited shoulder movement
Shoulder OA is often caused by aging, prior injuries, repetitive overhead movements, or genetic predisposition. Early detection and effective treatment can slow progression, relieve symptoms, and help restore function.
Here’s a clear, easy-to-read table of treatment options — with green & gold highlights:
| Treatment Type | Description | When Recommended | Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medications | Pain relievers (acetaminophen, NSAIDs) or corticosteroid injections to reduce pain & inflammation | Mild to moderate pain and stiffness | Quick symptom control |
| Physical Therapy | Exercises to strengthen shoulder muscles & improve flexibility | Early stages or alongside other treatments | Restores mobility & reduces pain |
| Activity Modification | Avoiding repetitive or overhead activities that worsen symptoms | All stages to protect the joint | Reduces strain & preserves function |
| Assistive Devices | Slings, braces, or ergonomic adjustments | When daily tasks are painful or unstable | Improves comfort & function |
| Hyaluronic Acid Injections | Lubricating gel injected into the joint | Moderate OA with persistent symptoms | Eases stiffness & supports smoother motion |
| Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy | Uses your blood platelets to heal tissue & reduce inflammation | Selected early to moderate cases (still experimental) | Stimulates healing & relieves pain |
| Arthroscopy | Minimally invasive procedure to clean or repair the joint | Mild to moderate OA with mechanical symptoms | Reduces pain & improves motion |
| Shoulder Replacement (Arthroplasty) | Replacing the damaged joint with an artificial prosthesis | Advanced OA with severe pain & disability | Restores function & provides long-term relief |
