Physical therapy can help alleviate collarbone pain by addressing muscle imbalances, improving posture, and promoting healing through targeted exercises. If the pain persists despite medication, a physical therapist can evaluate her condition and guide her through a rehabilitation program to reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent further injury. It’s important to consult a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis.
Yes, physical therapy can be very helpful in treating collarbone pain. A physical therapist can assess your wife's condition and develop a personalized treatment plan to address the underlying cause of her pain.
If your wife had not experienced a fall of any sort or presenting with any other limitations such as difficulty lifting or moving her shoulder, then she may be best suited for a pain management specialist. Check with your primary care or internist to rule out any insidious conditions. All the best.
Yes, there may be a musculoskeletal issue occurring that can be easily remedied with a few treatments from a PT that is skilled in manual treatment.
