Specialist Shoulder Pain Clinic in Cardiff
Shoulder pain can affect everything from training and sport to work, sleep and everyday movement. At Pro Sports Medicine, our Shoulder Clinic provides specialist assessment, diagnosis and treatment for shoulder injuries, combining elite sports medicine experience with advanced clinical technology.
Our Cardiff-based team regularly manages shoulder problems in athletes, active adults and complex cases. We use a clear pathway: accurate diagnosis, targeted treatment, structured rehabilitation and return to performance.
Expert assessment for shoulder pain
Shoulder pain can come from a wide range of structures, including the rotator cuff, biceps tendon, AC joint, labrum, capsule, nerves or surrounding muscles. Getting the right diagnosis early is essential.
At your appointment, we will assess your symptoms, movement, strength, training demands and injury history. Where appropriate, we may use diagnostic ultrasound to assess soft tissue structures in real time and guide treatment decisions.
Common shoulder conditions we treat include:
- Rotator cuff tendinopathy
- Rotator cuff tears
- Subacromial shoulder pain
- Shoulder impingement symptoms
- Biceps tendon pain
- AC joint pain
- Frozen shoulder
- Shoulder instability
- Post-operative shoulder rehabilitation
- Sports-related shoulder injuries
- Gym, CrossFit, rugby, swimming and throwing-related shoulder pain
Diagnostic ultrasound for shoulder injuries
Pro Sports Medicine provides diagnostic ultrasound as part of our advanced sports medicine service. This allows us to assess tendons, bursae, joints and soft tissue structures quickly and accurately in clinic.
Ultrasound may help identify:
- Rotator cuff tendon changes
- Tendon tears
- Bursitis
- Biceps tendon irritation
- AC joint pathology
- Calcific tendinopathy
- Inflammatory changes around the shoulder
Where needed, ultrasound findings are combined with clinical assessment and onward referral for MRI, X-ray or specialist opinion.
Injection therapy for shoulder pain
For selected shoulder conditions, injection therapy may form part of your treatment plan. At Pro Sports Medicine, injections are used carefully and only when clinically appropriate.
Shoulder injection options may include:
- Corticosteroid injections for inflammatory shoulder pain
- Ultrasound-guided injections for accuracy
- Hyaluronic acid injections in selected joint-related cases
- PRP injections for selected tendon or soft tissue presentations
Injection therapy is not used as a standalone fix. It works best when combined with accurate diagnosis, load management and a structured rehabilitation plan.
Shoulder rehabilitation and return to performance
Rehabilitation is at the centre of our Shoulder Clinic. Once we understand the cause of your symptoms, we build a progressive plan to restore movement, strength, control and confidence.
Your programme may include:
- Rotator cuff strengthening
- Scapular control work
- Mobility and range-of-motion exercises
- Progressive loading
- Gym-based rehabilitation
- Return-to-sport testing
- Throwing, contact or overhead sport preparation
- Post-operative shoulder rehab
Our clinicians work in elite sport and understand the demands of returning to high-level activity. Whether your goal is pain-free daily movement, gym training or competitive sport, your rehab plan will be built around your needs.
