“Shoulder pain”: rotator cuff tear, frozen shoulder or shoulder inflammation?

#ShoulderPain #MedicationDoesntHelp #CantMoveArmFully #TooPainfulToSleep 

Shoulder pain has many possible causes, but anyone with chronic shoulder pain or a stiff shoulder who cannot use the shoulder normally should see a doctor promptly, as there may be a hidden rotator cuff tear. 

Today, let's look at #3CommonShoulderConditions

1. Rotator cuff tear 

This may be caused by tendon degeneration or an accident with an impact to the shoulder. Once a shoulder tendon tears, it does not heal by itself naturally.

2. Frozen shoulder

This reduces shoulder movement and causes long-lasting shoulder pain. People with diabetes or hyperthyroidism are at higher risk than the general population.

3. Shoulder inflammation

This may be caused by repetitive use of the shoulder, especially tasks that involve raising the arm high, such as dusting or cleaning windows, or heavy work that requires a lot of shoulder strength. These conditions cause severe shoulder pain, an inability to raise the arm above the head, more pain when rotating the shoulder, and weakness around the shoulder joint. The most important thing in treating shoulder pain is an accurate diagnosis.

If you are wondering what is causing your shoulder pain, come and find out at Rehab care clinic. Our specialist physicians can make a more accurate diagnosis and treat precisely the site of the problem, using diagnostic ultrasound to help find the cause. Ultrasound diagnosis is an examination that uses high-frequency sound waves.

Advantages

•    Diagnoses and assesses the condition of the tendons around the shoulder joint 

•    The examination is simple and gives a quick diagnosis 

•    No exposure to radiation, so it is safe for patients 

•    Much less expensive than magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)  

•    Swelling, inflammation or tears of the tendons, and sometimes calcium deposits on the tendons, can be seen straight away on the monitor

Now that you know this, don't let your shoulder pain become chronic. Come and find out the cause with us and get treated so you can recover quickly.
