Consultant-led assessment and treatment for shoulder arthritis, supporting improved joint function and mobility.

Shoulder arthritis is a degenerative joint condition that occurs when the protective cartilage within the shoulder joint gradually wears down, leading to pain, stiffness and reduced range of motion. This can make everyday tasks — such as lifting, reaching or dressing — uncomfortable and difficult.

Although shoulder arthritis becomes more common with age, it can also develop as a result of previous injury, repetitive use or underlying joint conditions. At The Coriel Clinic, our consultant-led specialists provide comprehensive evaluation and tailored treatment plans designed to help you manage symptoms, preserve shoulder function and maintain your quality of life.

What Are the Symptoms of Arthritis of the Shoulder?

Symptoms of shoulder arthritis can vary but commonly include:

  • Pain in the shoulder joint, especially with movement or activity
  • Stiffness and difficulty rotating or lifting the arm.
  • Reduced range of motion, making everyday tasks harder.
  • Swelling or tenderness around the joint
  • Grinding, clicking or cracking sensations during shoulder movement
  • Weakness around the shoulder
  • Pain that may worsen at night or disturb sleep.

These symptoms can gradually affect your ability to perform daily activities and impact overall comfort.

What Treatments Are Available for Arthritis of the Shoulder?

Treatment for shoulder arthritis depends on the severity of your symptoms, activity levels and individual goals. At The Coriel Clinic, we provide personalised, consultant-led care with both conservative and surgical options when appropriate.

Conservative (Non-Surgical) Treatments

Many patients benefit from non-surgical management, which may include:

  • Activity modification to reduce pain-provoking movements.
  • Targeted physiotherapy to improve strength, flexibility and joint mechanics.
  • Pain-relief and anti-inflammatory strategies
  • Corticosteroid or lubricating injections to ease pain and reduce inflammation.
  • Advice on lifestyle adaptations and ergonomic changes to support shoulder comfort

These approaches are designed to help manage pain, support movement and delay disease progression where possible.

Surgical Treatments

When symptoms are severe or significantly affect daily life despite conservative care, surgical options may be considered. Shoulder replacement surgery — including total or partial shoulder arthroplasty — can relieve pain and improve joint function in suitable patients.

Your consultant will discuss all appropriate options with you, clearly explaining the benefits, risks and expected recovery timeline, so you can make an informed decision that’s right for your care.

At The Coriel Clinic, our goal is to help you achieve lasting pain relief, improved mobility and confidence in your shoulder through expert support and personalised treatment planning.
