Easy To Understand About Shoulder Problems
“People may come in with shoulder pain when they really have a neck
problem,” An aching
shoulder may not signal a shoulder problem. And a sore neck may not indicate a
neck problem. It is totally depends on symptoms what kind of problem you have
in your shoulder.
Shoulder pain treatment in India
The shoulder joint is made up of bones held in place by
muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Tendons are tough cords of tissue that hold
the shoulder muscles to bones. They help the muscles move the shoulder.
Ligaments hold the three shoulder bones to each other and help make the
shoulder joint stable.
Shoulder pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint that may
be due either to intrinsic disorders of the shoulder or referred pain. The
former include injuries and acute or chronic inflammation of the shoulder
joint, tendons, surrounding ligaments, or periarticular structures.
Who Gets
Shoulder Problems?
Men, women, and children can have shoulder problems. They
occur in people of all races and ethnic backgrounds.
What Causes
Shoulder Problems?
Many shoulder problems are caused by the breakdown of soft
tissues in the shoulder region. Using the shoulder too much can cause the soft
tissue to break down faster as people get older. Doing manual labor and playing
sports may cause shoulder problems.
Shoulder pain may be felt in one small spot, in a larger
area, or down the arm.
How Are
Shoulder Problems Treated?
Shoulder problems are most often first treated with RICE
(Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation):
Rest: Don’t use
the shoulder for 48 hours.
Ice: Put an ice pack on the injured area for 20
minutes, four to eight times per day. Use a cold pack, ice bag, or a plastic
bag filled with crushed ice wrapped in a towel.
Compression: Put even pressure (compression) on the painful
area to help reduce the swelling. A wrap or bandage will help hold the shoulder
in place.
Elevation: Keep the injured area above the level of the
heart. A pillow under the shoulder will help keep it up.
If pain and stiffness persist, see a doctor to diagnose and
treat the problem.
