Resumen

After low back pain shoulder pain is the most common musculoskeletal complaint. To treat shoulder chronic pain there are different options, as intraarticular injections (steroids, platelets rich plasma and dextrose), single nerves blocks (suprascapular, axillary, and lateral pectoral nerve), and soft- tissue injections (bursa or trigger points). Among these therapies radiofrequency (pulsed and ablative) is one of the most performed and its popularity has been increasing in recent years. Other useful treatments are: photobiomodulation, laser therapy, ultrasound, pulsed electromagnetic, extracorporeal shock wave, exercise therapy and manual therapy.
