The shoulder is one of the most mobile—and most complex—joints in the body. But that mobility comes at a cost: it’s also one of the most injury-prone.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what makes up the shoulder joint:

🔹 Bones – The shoulder is where the humerus (upper arm), scapula (shoulder blade), and clavicle (collarbone) meet.
🔹 Rotator Cuff – A group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the joint and allow you to lift and rotate your arm.
🔹 Labrum – A ring of cartilage that helps keep the shoulder socket stable.
🔹 Bursa – Fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joint and reduce friction.
🔹 Ligaments & Tendons – Connect bones and muscles, playing a major role in movement and stability.

Understanding the anatomy is the first step in understanding your pain—especially if you're experiencing stiffness, weakness, or limited range of motion.

Want to maintain healthy shoulders? Follow these 5 tips to prevent injury and improve shoulder function:

1️⃣ Engage in Rotator Cuff Exercises – Strengthening the muscles around the shoulder joint helps stabilize it and prevent injury.
2️⃣ Incorporate Range-of-Motion Exercises – Gentle movements that promote full shoulder rotation maintain flexibility and prevent stiffness.
3️⃣ Mind Your Posture – Proper alignment is key; avoid slouching or hunching forward to reduce unnecessary strain on your shoulders.
4️⃣ Balance Your Workouts – Combine strength training with flexibility exercises to ensure balanced muscle support and mobility.
5️⃣ Rest and Recover – Allow adequate recovery time to avoid overuse injuries and promote long-term shoulder health.

Incorporating these practices into your routine can help protect your shoulders and maintain optimal function.

Pain is common with age—but it’s not something you have to accept as normal.

Aches, stiffness, or joint pain may show up more often as we get older, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with discomfort. Many causes of pain—like arthritis, nerve compression, or degenerative disc disease—can be treated with the right approach.

Whether it’s managing inflammation, strengthening muscles, or exploring minimally invasive treatments, relief is possible at any stage of life.

Back pain isn’t always caused by one clear injury. Sometimes, it’s the result of ongoing pressure, both physical and emotional, that builds up over time.

Poor posture, overworked muscles, and even chronic stress can all contribute to tension in the spine. This pressure disrupts the body’s natural balance, leading to inflammation, stiffness, and lasting pain.

At PMIR, we understand that treating chronic back pain means looking beyond the surface. That’s why our approach considers how pressure, internal and external, affects your body and your life.

Relief starts when we address the root causes, not just the symptoms.

While it’s not the right fit for everyone, spinal cord stimulation is one of several options available for chronic back pain relief.
