SHOULDER Conditions We Treat at ortho san antonio
Rotator Cuff Tear
Rotator cuff tears are one of the most common shoulder injuries to occur in the patients that we see every day. These tears may not initially cause issues or irritation at first, but after a while, could cause problems in one’s lifestyle, trouble sleeping, and overall quality of life.
Shoulder Arthritis
Shoulder arthritis stems from swelling in the joints that, over time, ensues cartilage damage. The shoulder cap in our arm allows our joints to have a nice and easy range of motion, but over time, our cartilage wears down, eventually resulting in pain, inflammation, or injuries like arthritis.
Reverse Shoulder Replacement
A reverse shoulder replacement is a procedure that requires the removal of your natural cartilage in the replacement of artificial components. Once the procedure is completed, your shoulder moves in a standard way against the replaced socket.
Shoulder Dislocation
A dislocated shoulder is an injury that transpires in the upper body where the bone protrudes from the socket which is connected to the shoulder blade. Shoulder dislocations frequently transpire in athletes, young people, and sports athletes that utilize their shoulders a lot.
Shoulder Labrum Tear
Shoulder labral tears are essentially tears of the soft tissue that goes around the socket. The symptoms from that can be anything from shoulder instability to pain.
COMMON CAUSES OF SHOULDER PAIN
There are a variety of aspects that can cause shoulder pain such as internal issues in the shoulder area and inflammation. Other causes can stem from different areas of the body including neck pain and nerve impingement from the neck area.
Injuries such as shoulder dislocations and AC joint problems are the main causes that result in shoulder pain for young people. With age, other shoulder pain is caused by rotator cuff issues and osteoarthritis. Common injuries that can occur as we get older include tears in the tendon or difficulty with a full range of motion.
Why is It important see a shoulder specialist for shoulder pain?
Our shoulders make up an important part of the human body and allow us to complete normal day functions that we may not even think of such as lifting, carrying groceries, moving furniture, and so much more.
That’s why we encourage our patients here at Ortho San Antonio to come to us with any shoulder pain they may be feeling and help prevent future injuries through effective exercises, stretching, and joint surgery.
