Stop Shoulder Pain That Limits Your Movement

Subacromial Injection in Phoenix, AZ

Shoulder pain makes lifting your arm, reaching overhead, sleeping on your side, or even getting dressed really painful. Many people deal with ongoing shoulder inflammation, stiffness, or weakness that does not improve with rest or medication alone. The solution is targeted treatment that reduces inflammation at the source. A subacromial injection in Phoenix can calm irritated tissues, relieve pain, and restore shoulder movement. 

At Comprehensive Pain Management, we offer expert subacromial shoulder injections to help patients return to daily activities with less pain.

What are Subacromial Injections?

The subacromial space is an area above the shoulder joint and below the acromion bone. In the body, this space contains the subacromial bursa and rotator cuff tendons. When these structures become inflamed, they swell and rub during movement. This causes pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion. A subacromial injection in Phoenix is an anti-inflammatory injection placed into the space to reduce inflammation in this space, ease pain, and improve shoulder function.

Good Candidates in Phoenix for a Subacromial Injection

  • Shoulder pain with lifting or reaching
  • Pain from shoulder impingement
