Osteoarthritis Shoulder Pain Treatment in Pune

At Pune Shoulder Hospital, we specialise in diagnosing and treating osteoarthritis-related shoulder pain for patients across Pune and PCMC.

If you are struggling with stiffness, deep aching pain, or difficulty lifting your arm, our shoulder specialists and surgeons offer advanced, evidence-based treatment to help you move more freely and reduce daily discomfort.

Why Shoulder Osteoarthritis Treatment Matters

Ignoring osteoarthritis shoulder pain can slowly affect your:

  • Daily activities – combing hair, wearing clothes, lifting bags, driving
  • Sleep quality – night pain when turning or lying on the affected side
  • Work – especially if you are in a physical or desk-based job
  • Mood and energy levels – ongoing pain can lead to fatigue and irritability

Early treatment at a specialist shoulder hospital in Pune can:

  • Slow down the progression of arthritis
  • Reduce pain and inflammation
  • Improve joint movement and flexibility
  • Help you postpone or avoid surgery in many cases
  • Prepare you better if surgery is needed later

The sooner you get a proper diagnosis, the more treatment options you usually have.

How We Diagnose Osteoarthritis Shoulder Pain

At Pune Shoulder Hospital, our specialists usually follow a clear, stepwise process:

  1. Detailed consultation
    • Your pain history, work pattern, previous injuries, medical conditions
  2. Physical examination
    • Checking your range of motion, strength, and specific pain points
  3. Imaging tests
    • X-rays to look at joint space, bone changes, and arthritis grade
    • MRI (if needed) to assess cartilage, rotator cuff, and surrounding structures
  4. Diagnosis & stage
    • We explain what stage your arthritis is in, and recommend suitable options based on your lifestyle and age.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your pain is slowly increasing over months, combined with stiffness, grinding sensation, and difficulty with daily activities, especially in mid to late age, it may be due to osteoarthritis. An X-ray and clinical examination by a shoulder specialist can confirm this.

Osteoarthritis is usually a chronic, progressive condition. It cannot be fully reversed, but with proper treatment, you can significantly reduce pain, improve movement, and slow progression. In advanced stages, shoulder replacement surgery can give excellent pain relief.

No. Many patients in early and moderate stages improve with medicines, physiotherapy, injections, and lifestyle changes. Surgery is usually considered only for severe pain and functional limitation when conservative measures are not enough.

Recovery time varies by patient, age, and overall health. Most patients start gentle movement within days, and with regular physiotherapy, see major improvement over a few weeks to months. Your surgeon will give you a clear recovery roadmap.

You may not be able to prevent it completely, especially if age or previous injury is a factor. However, you can reduce risk and slow progression by maintaining good posture, avoiding overuse, staying active with safe exercises, and treating injuries early.
