Scapular dyskinesis refers to abnormal movement or positioning of the shoulder blade (scapula) during shoulder motion. This can lead to shoulder pain, dysfunction, and an increased risk of injury. In this guide, we will discuss the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for scapular dyskinesis, with a focus on how physical therapy can help you improve your shoulder function and reduce pain.
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) is a group of disorders that occur when the blood vessels or nerves in the space between your collarbone (clavicle) and your first rib (thoracic outlet) are compressed. This can lead to pain in your shoulders and neck and numbness in your fingers. In this guide, we will discuss the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for TOS, with a focus on how physical therapy can help you manage your symptoms and improve your function.
Calcific tendinitis is a condition characterized by the accumulation of calcium deposits in the tendons of the shoulder, most commonly the rotator cuff tendons. This can lead to pain, inflammation, and limited mobility in the shoulder. In this guide, we will discuss the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for calcific tendinitis, with a focus on how physical therapy can help you manage your symptoms and improve your shoulder function.
Biceps tendinitis is an inflammation of the tendon that attaches the biceps muscle to the bones in the shoulder. This condition can cause pain and discomfort in the front of the shoulder and down the arm. In this guide, we will discuss the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for biceps tendinitis, with a focus on how physical therapy can help you manage your symptoms and improve your shoulder function.
Post-surgical rehabilitation is a crucial part of the recovery process following shoulder surgery. Whether you've had a rotator cuff repair, shoulder arthroscopy, or total shoulder replacement, a tailored rehabilitation program is essential to regain strength, mobility, and function in your shoulder. In this guide, we will discuss the general phases of post-surgical rehabilitation, with a focus on how physical therapy can help you achieve optimal recovery.
Shoulder arthritis is a condition characterized by the degeneration of the cartilage in the shoulder joint, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. The two most common types of arthritis that affect the shoulder are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. In this guide, we will discuss the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for shoulder arthritis, with a focus on how physical therapy can help you manage your symptoms and improve your shoulder function.
The shoulder labrum is a ring of cartilage that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint, helping to stabilize the joint and keep the ball of the upper arm bone (humerus) in place. A shoulder labral tear occurs when this cartilage is torn, which can lead to pain, instability, and limited function in the shoulder. In this guide, we will discuss the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for shoulder labral tears, with a focus on how physical therapy can help you recover and improve your shoulder function.
The acromioclavicular (AC) joint is where the collarbone (clavicle) meets the highest point of the shoulder blade (acromion). An AC joint injury, often referred to as a shoulder separation, occurs when the ligaments that hold the joint together are damaged or torn. This guide will discuss the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for AC joint injury, with a focus on how physical therapy can help you recover and improve your shoulder function.
Shoulder dislocation occurs when the ball of the shoulder joint (the humeral head) is forced out of the socket (the glenoid). This injury can cause significant pain, instability, and limitation in shoulder function. In this guide, we will discuss the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for shoulder dislocation, with a focus on how physical therapy can help you recover and prevent future dislocations.
Shoulder instability is a condition that occurs when the structures that surround the shoulder joint, such as the ligaments, capsule, and muscles, are unable to keep the ball of the joint (the humeral head) in the socket (the glenoid). This can lead to a feeling of the shoulder giving way, slipping out of place, or dislocating. In this guide, we will discuss the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for shoulder instability, with a focus on how physical therapy can help you regain stability and improve your shoulder function.
