Shoulder Pain Treatment in Wichita, KS
If you are experiencing pain in Wichita or surrounding areas including Andover, Derby, Mulvane, Wellington, Winfield, Newton, Maize, Goddard, McPherson, Augusta, El Dorado, Eastborough, Bel Aire, and the greater Sedgwick County region, it can limit your ability to work, sleep, and perform everyday activities associated with pain.
At Kansas Pain Consultants, we specialize in diagnosing and treating pain using advanced, non-surgical and minimally invasive techniques, helping patients reduce discomfort, restore function, and avoid unnecessary surgery when possible.
Common Causes of Pain
Pain can originate from the joint, surrounding soft tissues, or nerves, leading to discomfort and a decrease in quality of life.
Common causes include:
- Rotator cuff injuries or tears
- Arthritis (glenohumeral or AC joint) linked to pain
- Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder)
- Bursitis or tendonitis
- Labral tears
- Impingement syndrome
- Nerve-related pain (including cervical radiculopathy)
- Post-surgical shoulder pain
Because pain can overlap with neck or nerve-related conditions, accurate diagnosis is essential.
Symptoms of Pain
Patients may experience:
- Pain with lifting or overhead movement
- Limited range of motion
- Weakness in the shoulder or arm
- Pain at night or when lying on the shoulder
- Clicking, popping, or instability
- Pain radiating down the arm
Our Approach to Diagnosis
At Kansas Pain Consultants, we focus on identifying the true source of your pain.
Your evaluation may include:
- Detailed history and physical examination
- Review of imaging (X-ray, MRI when appropriate)
- Assessment for joint, soft tissue, and nerve-related causes
- Diagnostic injections to confirm the pain generator
This allows us to create a targeted, individualized treatment plan.

We offer a full range of minimally invasive treatment options:
Conservative Treatment Options
- Physical therapy coordination
- Anti-inflammatory medications when appropriate
- Activity modification and rehabilitation guidance
Image-Guided Shoulder Injections

Pain After Surgery or Persistent Pain
Some patients continue to experience pain after shoulder surgery.
This may be due to:

We offer targeted nerve treatments and advanced therapies for persistent post-surgical pain.

For patients with refractory or nerve-related shoulder pain:
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS)
