Rotator Cuff Tear
A rotator cuff tear is a prevalent shoulder injury that involves damage to one or more of the four rotator cuff muscles and their tendons. These muscles, including the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis, have a vital role in stabilizing the shoulder joint and facilitating various shoulder movements.
Rotator Cuff Impingement
Rotator cuff impingement, also referred to as subacromial impingement, is a prevalent shoulder condition characterized by the compression or irritation of the rotator cuff tendons. This occurs as they pass through the narrow subacromial space between the acromion (a bony projection of the shoulder blade) and the head of the humerus (upper arm bone). Consequently, inflammation and shoulder pain may arise due to this compression.
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder, medically referred to as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition marked by shoulder joint pain and stiffness.
Shoulder Dislocation
Shoulder dislocation occurs when the upper arm bone (humerus) is displaced from its socket (glenoid) in the shoulder blade (scapula). This is a common injury, particularly among young individuals and athletes engaged in contact sports or activities that exert high impact on the shoulder.
Shoulder Osteoarthritis
Shoulder osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition that affects the shoulder joint. It occurs when the protective cartilage covering the bones in the joint wears down over time, resulting in pain, inflammation, and limited mobility. Although more prevalent in older individuals, it can also arise from previous injuries, overuse, or other factors that contribute to joint deterioration.
Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow, medically referred to as lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition that impacts the outer region of the elbow. Despite its name, tennis elbow can develop in individuals who do not participate in tennis. This condition is caused by excessive use or repetitive motions of the forearm muscles that connect to the lateral epicondyle, a bony prominence on the outer side of the elbow. These repetitive actions result in minor tears in the tendons, leading to inflammation and discomfort.
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
Cubital Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a medical condition characterized by the compression or irritation of the ulnar nerve as it traverses the cubital tunnel, a narrow passage situated on the inner side of the elbow. The ulnar nerve, a significant nerve in the arm, is responsible for sensory perception and the control of specific muscles in the forearm and hand.
