Shoulder Injury Treatment
If shoulder impingement pain persists, decompression surgery may be recommended to remove bone tissue and widen the subacromial space.
Open repair, arthroscopic repair, and mini-open repair are the three surgical options used to repair rotator cuff tears.
Moderate to severe frozen shoulder exercises may need physical assistance for pain prevention and achieving full range of motion.
Ease frozen shoulder pain with targeted exercises designed for relief and increased mobility.
Labrum Tear Treatments
Physical therapy and medication are the first line of treatments for mild to moderate SLAP tears.
After several weeks of movement restrictions, patients who have had shoulder dislocation surgery will begin to do exercises to restore range of motion to the shoulder.
After shoulder dislocation surgery, patients will need to address pain management and sleep positions to make the recovery process more comfortable.
Clavicle fractures take 6-12 weeks to heal. Recovery involves exercises and sling use for immobilization.
Rotator Cuff Surgery Recovery
Rotator cuff surgery recovery includes staged rehabilitation for optimal shoulder strength, flexibility, and pain relief.
Rotator cuff surgery carries risks like infection and stiffness. Complications are rare but may include nerve damage or re-tearing of the repaired tendon.
Rotator Cuff Tear Surgery
Rotator cuff tear surgery is an elective surgery aimed at reducing pain and increasing shoulder function.
Potential risks and complications for decompression surgery include shoulder pain and stiffness, and infection.
Arthroscopy and open surgery relieve shoulder impingement pain; the choice depends on the individual's condition, lifestyle, and surgeon's preference.
Various surgical procedures, like Bankart repair and shoulder replacement, address dislocated shoulders effectively.
Clavicle fracture surgery restores broken collarbones, ensuring proper healing and long-term shoulder function.
Surgery for SLAP Tear Injury
Surgery for SLAP tears involves removing or reattaching the damaged shoulder labrum, and/or reattaching the accompanying tear in the biceps tendon.
Treating Frozen Shoulder
While frozen shoulder improves over time, physical therapy, NSAIDs, and surgery can minimize discomfort and speed up recovery.
Before rotator cuff surgery, patients should talk to their physician to receive pre-surgical instructions and find out what to expect.
Rotator cuff surgery is for those with persistent shoulder problems, unrelieved by nonsurgical options, aiming to restore function and ease pain.
