Shoulder Pain Management

Shoulder pain. It is an affliction many of us suffer from. Whether it is sports-related or due to joint overuse, shoulder pain is a part of many of our lives. However, there are ways to manage it. This management will be our topic of discussion today.

Median Nerve Entrapment

Carpel Tunnel Syndrome is caused by entrapment of the medial nerve. The median nerve exits the brachial plexus and travels down the arm into the forearm wrist and hand.

So common symptoms to feel with this, whether it's entrapped in the elbow region or forearm or wrist is pain in that region in the forearm, into the fingers one to four, pins and needles in the same area which leads to loss of sensation, temperature and touch and weakness. So in more severe cases, you have motor impairment and some wasting of the muscles in the thumbs.

Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)

Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis is a progressive inflammatory process that occurs at structures of the shoulder joint (glenohumeral joint) including the joint capsule and surrounding ligaments. This inflammatory process leads to characteristic swelling and stiffening of the joint capsule and ligaments which leads to pain and reduced mobility. The most common findings are synovial inflammation, capsular fibrosis (scarring), and thickening of structures (such as extra-capsular ligaments).

Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS)

Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) is typically an overuse injury that causes pain on the lateral aspect of the knee joint and distal thigh. IT Band Syndrome tends to be caused by friction between the IT band cross section and the knee joint. The friction between these structures can lead to inflammation and tightening, causing the typical pain associated with ITBS.
