Because all shoulder treatment needs to be geared specifically for the type of injury or pain in the shoulder joint, not all of the treatments listed are recommended for all pain in the shoulder joint.

Resting the injured shoulder will allow time to heal.  If you are still using your shoulder, the tendons and joint have no way of healing, and they will continue to work incorrectly.  Using ice will help reduce swelling if used in the first 48 hours.  Heat is used for long-term injuries.  The heat will help loosen and relax the tissues. 

Anti-inflammatory medicines can also be useful.  When the tendon and/or muscles surrounding the joint shrink, they allow the shoulder space to heal. Try a natural anti-inflammatory supplement like Celadrin.  The all-natural ingredients have been proven effective.
