Shoulder Injuries

Rotator cuff injuries stem from overuse, aging, or trauma, with risk factors including repetitive motions and age-related degeneration.

Rotator cuff injury diagnosis involves imaging tests and physical examinations to determine the extent of damage.

Initial rotator cuff injury treatment includes rest, ice, and physiotherapy to relieve pain and restore shoulder function.

Rotator cuff injury symptoms include shoulder pain, weakness, and restricted movement, necessitating timely evaluation and treatment.

Elective rotator cuff surgery is an option for large injuries or persistent symptoms unresponsive to nonsurgical treatment.

A dislocated shoulder usually happens when a traumatic event forces the humeral head out of its socket in the shoulder.

Shoulder impingement symptoms include pain, weakness, and limited arm movement, often requiring medical evaluation.

Shoulder impingement is a common condition that is caused by a number of issues including overuse from sports and other shoulder injuries.

A SLAP injury occurs when the shoulder’s labrum cartilage gets frayed or torn. Treatment includes medication, physical therapy, and surgery for severe cases.

SLAP tears are characterized by deep, dull shoulder joint pain, weakness, and stiffness. Radiating pain occurs if the rotator cuff is also damaged.
