Shoulder Pain
If you are suffering from shoulder pain, it can significantly affect your daily life, restricting movement and causing discomfort. At ReGenSport Ortho Clinic, Dr. Sanjay Kapoor, a renowned orthopedic surgeon with 24+ years of experience, specializes in advanced orthopedic and regenerative treatments to help patients regain mobility and live pain-free.
Common Causes of Shoulder Pain & Their Treatments
1. Osteoarthritis (OA) of the Shoulder
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the shoulder is a degenerative joint condition that causes the cartilage to break down, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced movement.
Treatment Options:
- Regenerative Therapy (Stem Cell & PRP Therapy): Stimulates cartilage repair and reduces inflammation.
- Physical Therapy: Strengthens the shoulder muscles and improves flexibility.
- Medications: NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) to manage pain and swelling.
- Surgical Intervention: Shoulder replacement may be considered in advanced cases.
2. AC (Acromioclavicular) Arthritis
AC arthritis occurs at the front of the shoulder, where the collarbone meets the shoulder blade. It often results from wear and tear or previous injuries.
Treatment Options:
- Cortisone Injections: Reduce inflammation and provide pain relief.
- Regenerative Therapy (PRP or Stem Cell Therapy): Helps repair damaged tissues.
- Arthroscopic Surgery: Minimally invasive surgery to remove damaged tissue in severe cases.
3. Labral Pathologies (Labrum Tears)
The labrum is a fibrocartilage structure that stabilizes the shoulder joint. A tear can occur due to injury, overuse, or age-related degeneration.
Treatment Options:
- Regenerative Injections (PRP & Stem Cells): Promote healing of the torn labrum.
- Physical Therapy: Strengthens shoulder muscles to compensate for labral instability.
- Minimally Invasive Arthroscopy: Repairs or removes damaged labral tissue if conservative treatments fail.
4. Rotator Cuff Tears
The rotator cuff consists of four tendons that help move and stabilize the shoulder. Tears can result from injury, aging, or overuse.
Treatment Options:
- PRP & Stem Cell Therapy: Accelerates tendon healing and reduces inflammation.
- Shoulder Strengthening Exercises: Rehabilitates shoulder function.
- Surgical Repair: In severe cases, arthroscopic surgery is performed to stitch the torn tendons.
5. Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
Frozen shoulder is characterized by pain and stiffness that restricts both active and passive movement.
Treatment Options:
- Physical Therapy & Stretching Exercises: Restores range of motion.
- Hydrodilatation (Saline Injection Therapy): Expands the joint capsule to improve movement.
- PRP Therapy: Reduces inflammation and enhances healing.
- Surgical Capsular Release (For Severe Cases): Releases tight tissues to restore motion.
6. Subacromial Bursitis
This condition involves inflammation of the bursa (a fluid-filled sac) located between the rotator cuff and acromion (shoulder blade), leading to pain and restricted movement.
Treatment Options:
- NSAIDs & Ice Therapy: Reduces swelling and pain.
- Cortisone Injections: Provides immediate relief from inflammation.
- Regenerative Therapy (PRP & Stem Cells): Encourages healing of the inflamed bursa.
- Shoulder Strengthening Exercises: Prevents recurrence.
Bicipital Tendinitis (Biceps Tendon Inflammation)
Bicipital tendinitis occurs when the biceps tendon becomes inflamed, causing pain in the front of the shoulder.
Treatment Options:
- Rest & Activity Modification: Avoiding repetitive overhead movements.
- PRP Therapy: Repairs tendon damage and accelerates recovery.
- Physical Therapy: Strengthens supporting shoulder muscles.
- Arthroscopic Tenodesis (For Severe Cases): Surgical procedure to reposition or remove the damaged portion of the tendon.
