- Abstract: Shoulder pain is one of the common symptoms that pain physicians frequently encounter in outpatient settings. Historically, the diagnosis of shoulder pain relied on clinical presentation and physical examination. However, with the advancement of ultrasound technology, physicians can now better diagnose and treat shoulder pain. When administering injection therapy for shoulder pain, the target may vary depending on the structure causing the pain. Furthermore, even when injecting the same structure, different approaches can be employed based on the practitioner’s preference, patient’s anatomical variations, or capability of maintaining specific positions for intervention. This review describes various ultrasound-guided injection techniques used in the treatment of shoulder pain.
