Welcome to Monday Morning Tip of The Week.

Today I'm going to talk about ice. Yes that's right, ice.

Using ice can work wonders for many shoulder problems. This really can make a significant difference in your rehabilitation. It numbs the pain, reduces swelling and inflammation, and aids in the healing process. The application should be intermittent and not continuous. Ice should be applied immediately after any aggravating activities if you already have impingement. You can use a cold pack, ice bag or frozen peas wrapped in a towel. You should use the ice for 5 minutes at a time, five times per day. Position the ice bag on the front and tip of the shoulder.

This simple treatment can reduce swelling, lower pressure and reduce your pain.

I trust that this will help reduce your shoulder pain. Please check back next Monday for your next shoulder pain tip of the week.
