Steroid injections in the shoulder are commonly used to reduce inflammation caused by conditions like rotator cuff irritation, bursitis, impingement, or arthritis. The injection helps calm swelling inside the joint or surrounding tissues, which can relieve pain and improve motion. Once pain is controlled, patients can begin physical therapy to strengthen the shoulder and restore full function. It’s not just for relief—it’s part of the recovery process. #arthritis #painrelief #painmanagement | Pr
