In addition to shoulder exercises, you can try home remedies to ease pain and encourage healing.
Follow the RICE method by resting, icing, and compressing your shoulder. Elevate your shoulder above heart level when possible. You can also use a heating pad or take an Epsom salt bath.
To ease pain, you may take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. You can also try natural pain relievers such as turmeric, willow bark, or cloves. Apply a menthol rub, arnica cream, or essential oil blend to the affected area a few times per day.
Regular massage and acupuncture treatments can help relieve pain and bring balance to your body. You can also try manipulative therapies such as chiropractic adjustments, osteopathy, or Rolfing.
