Shoulder sprains and strains are common injuries among athletes and weightlifters. They can also happen to seniors after years of constant wear and tear. While a shoulder strain or sprain isn’t necessarily a serious condition, it can leave you with extreme pain and reduced mobility that can worsen if you don’t get the proper treatment. Don’t wait until you’re entirely immobile before seeking assistance from your pain management team at Redefine Healthcare. Call for an appointment today.
Went to this office for the first time today. Let me say this was the best doctors experience I have ever had. The front desk girl (xiomara) checked me in right away with such a great personality. Then I was brought to the back by another employee (Jessica R) who was sure to make me feel right at home while I waited for Dr. Ceraulo. He was in my exam room within five minutes. Who doesn’t love a short wait? This was by far the best office I have ever been to in all my years of medical experience!!!
While an active lifestyle helps you achieve good overall health, some of your activities may result in joint damage. Millions of Americans visit the doctor’s office each year with a shoulder sprain or a shoulder strain. Just when you thought your fitness regimen was hitting its stride, a damaged shoulder can change your life if you don’t get quick, effective treatment.
Although your shoulder is a robust and durable joint, many sports and work-related motions can cause muscle strain in the shoulder. Shoulder problems can also result from various diseases.
If you feel any pain in your shoulder, get a firm diagnosis and the proper treatment at Redefine Healthcare, a pain management clinic with four locations in northern New Jersey.
While often referred to interchangeably, there’s a distinct medical difference between the two. A sprain refers to the tearing or separation of your ligaments, which are the soft fibrous tissues that hold your bones together. While the ankle is the most common joint to suffer a sprain, shoulder injury sprains do happen frequently, and we diagnose them as:
On the other hand, a strain occurs when the muscles or tendons, made up of the soft tissues that attach muscle to bone, are damaged. Shoulder strains frequently affect the shoulder’s rotator cuff. Sprains and strains lead to shoulder pain that lingers, especially if you continue doing the activity that caused the damage.
The severity of your symptoms can vary widely depending on the extent of the damage to your shoulder. Most of the symptoms of shoulder strain and sprain are similar. However, the onset of shoulder sprain symptoms is immediate, while a shoulder strain usually happens gradually. Some of the most common symptoms include:
If these symptoms do not respond quickly to home care with rest, heat, and ice, visit the pain management specialists at Redefine Healthcare to find the exact cause and source of your discomfort. Then your doctor can develop a suitable treatment plan.
The stretching or tearing of a tendon or muscle in your shoulder can result from excessive movement or forcing the shoulder into an unnatural position for an extended period. Some of the most common causes of a strained muscle in the shoulder are:
Sprained shoulders generally result from trauma, such as car accidents or a fall on your arm. However, osteoarthritis can also cause shoulder pain, although the disease is more commonly associated with hip pain and knee pain.
During a thorough physical exam that may include MRIs or x-rays, your doctor determines the exact location and severity of the sprain. Afterward, he can design a personalized shoulder pain treatment program for you and monitor your progress. Your home care likely involves some form of the R.I.C.E. protocol:
Beyond the R.I.C.E. program, your doctor may also recommend:
During your initial visit, your doctor performs a thorough examination to ascertain the severity of the strain. Next, he has to determine if you’re suffering from a rotator cuff strain, a strained shoulder blade, or a shoulder muscle strain. Your treatment depends on the diagnosis.
The treatment is similar to what you do for a shoulder sprain. Follow the R.I.C.E method in conjunction with a personalized physical therapy program. The experts at Redefine Healthcare — with offices in Union, Paterson, Clifton, and Edison — can get you back to peak performance in the shortest time possible. Contact us to make an appointment.
