Hi, I recommend you see your health care provider if you have not already. The answer mat depend on the cause of your pain. If you have pain that continues for a couple of weeks, please see your prinary care to start. They may refer you to physical therapy. If you want a natural remedy try taking turmeric, a good, evidence-based anti-inflammatory
Shoulder pain have different causes such as muscle, tendon, ligament, capsular, bursal inflammation or tears. Depending on your job, hobbies, traumas, management can vary. You need evaluation for precise management. If you identify the real cause such as an activity or movement, then a therapist may help you to modifying them.
It depends on why your shoulder hurts. There are so many causes, from frozen shoulder, to weakness of the rotator cuff muscles, to poor posture when sitting at your desk. Best thing to do is find a local physical therapist or physiatrist, even in these times, many can help diagnose through remote telehealth. The majority of shoulder issues can be treated with either posture change, strengthening and/or stretching.
Physical therapy can treat your shoulder pain and decrease your inflammation.
