Shoulder Pain Treatment in Johor Bahru

Sakit Bahu

Shoulder pain is a frequent complaint among Malaysians — especially desk workers, manual labourers, and those who use smartphones extensively. The most common causes are rotator cuff tendinitis, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), and bursitis. Left untreated, shoulder conditions can worsen significantly, leading to chronic pain and marked loss of arm movement. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment prevent long-term disability.

Symptoms of Shoulder Pain

✓Dull aching pain in the shoulder or upper arm

✓Pain worsened by lifting the arm above the head

✓Stiffness with restricted range of motion (frozen shoulder)

✓Weakness when lifting or reaching

✓Pain radiating down the arm to the elbow

✓Difficulty sleeping on the affected side

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if shoulder pain lasts more than two weeks, significantly limits your arm movement, follows an injury, or is accompanied by weakness or numbness in the arm. Seek urgent care if sudden severe shoulder pain follows a fall or direct impact — a fracture or dislocation needs immediate assessment.

Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah

Our doctors at Klinik Muhibbah assess shoulder pain through a structured examination of range of motion, strength testing, and specific shoulder impingement tests. X-Ray is available to exclude fractures or calcific tendinitis. Treatment includes NSAIDs for pain and inflammation, corticosteroid injections for rotator cuff tendinitis and bursitis, targeted physiotherapy referral for frozen shoulder rehabilitation, and activity modification guidance. For persistent or complex cases, we refer to an orthopaedic specialist.
