Shoulder injuries are frequently caused by athletic activities that involve excessive, repetitive, and overhead motions, such as swimming, tennis, pitching, and weightlifting. But shoulder injuries and pain can also be caused by everyday activities such washing walls, hanging curtains, and gardening. Most problems in the shoulder involve the muscles, ligaments, and tendons, rather than the bones. Athletes are especially susceptible to shoulder problems which usually develop over time through repetitive, intensive training routines. Some people will have a tendency to ignore the pain and continue doing the same activity which only aggravates the condition and may possibly cause more problems. People also may underestimate the extent of their injury because steady pain, weakness in the arm, or limitation of joint motion will become almost second nature to them. The orthopedic doctor in Manchester will carefully assess your shoulder pain and work with you to create an individualized course of treatment. Other common causes of shoulder pain are arthritis and bursitis. A bursa is a tiny fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. The major bursae are located adjacent to the tendons near the large joints, such as the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa.
The shoulder joint is one of the most unstable and mobile joints in the body and is often vulnerable to injury and pain. It can turn in many directions but this advantage also makes the shoulder an easy joint to injure. If your shoulder pain is serious enough to warrant surgery, the
orthopedic doctor in Manchester will operate using the most advanced form of arthroscopic shoulder surgery. This procedure is minimally invasive and used to diagnose and treat a wide range of joint problems. It can be useful in treating a variety of intra-articular conditions such as those caused by trauma, degenerative changes, inflammatory conditions, neoplastic conditions, as well as investigating the source of unexplained shoulder symptoms. Because of its minimally invasive nature, shoulder arthroscopy can most often be performed as an outpatient surgery. It is also generally associated with faster rehabilitation times than an open surgery. If you are having shoulder pain, there is only one orthopedist for your medical needs.
