Muscles and ligaments help keep the shoulder stable and secure in your shoulder socket. We depend on our shoulders to support many of our most basic motions, including pushing, pulling, lifting, and throwing. Because the shoulder is a very flexible joint, it is highly vulnerable to injury.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

Muscles and ligaments help keep the shoulder stable and secure in your shoulder socket. We depend on our shoulders to support many of our most basic motions, including pushing, pulling, lifting, and throwing. Because the shoulder is a very flexible joint, it is highly vulnerable to injury. Types of Shoulder Conditions &amp; Treatment Options Shoulder Arthritis Frozen Shoulder Rotator Cuff Conditions Shoulder Dislocations Fractures Shoulder Instability Shoulder Separation Shoulder Arthritis Arthritis, which is loss of the normal cartilage, or smooth surfaces that line your shoulder joint, makes moving your shoulder and arm painful. Shoulder arthritis symptoms generally include- shoulder pain, swelling, redness or heat in the area, trouble raising your arm etc \u00a0 Treatment Options Treatment for shoulder arthritis usually depends on what specific type of arthritis you have It also depends on how severe the shoulder pain is Nonsurgical options may include: Resting your arm and avoiding painful activities Steroid injections Physical therapy etc. Frozen Shoulder Frozen shoulder occurs when the capsule of connective tissue that surrounds the shoulder thickens and contracts, leading to stiffness and shoulder pain from restricted movement.Causes-\u00a0The condition generally affects adults ages 40 to 60 and can be caused by diseases such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Parkinson\u2019s, or cardiac disease. It can also result from immobilizing the shoulder too long after an injury, which is why a vital part of any shoulder recovery is physical therapy. \u00a0 Treatment Options Physicians typically treat this condition with anti-inflammatory medication and physical therapy. This approach is successful in 90 percent of cases. For those who do not experience relief for two to three years, surgical options will be explored. Rotator Cuff Conditions Three bones form the shoulder joint: the collarbone, the upper arm bone, and the shoulder blade. Together, these bones give the shoulder its wide range of motion. Attached to the shoulder is a group of muscles known collectively as the rotator cuff. These keep your arm in place while allowing it to move up and around. \u00a0 Treatment Options Treatment goals include reducing pain and inflammation. Rest, hot\/cold compression, and splinting usually are recommended. If those treatments are not successful, a physician may provide corticosteroid injections, recommend physical therapy, and in the most severe cases, perform surgery. Shoulder Dislocations To treat a dislocated shoulder, a physician uses a process called closed reduction that places the upper arm back into the socket. Pain relief is almost immediate. Physicians typically recommend that, after treatment, the shoulder be immobilized in a sling or other device for a few weeks. \u00a0 Treatment Options To treat a dislocated shoulder, a physician uses a process called closed reduction that places the upper arm back into the socket Pain relief is almost immediate.
