Shoulder Bursitis

What is

The bursae are small sac-like structures that are located between the muscles, tendons and ligaments in such a way that they allow their correct displacement and functioning. Some shoulder injuries produce their inflammation producing a condition known colloquially as shoulder bursitis, which causes very important pain phenomena in which only lifting the arm produces a very intense pain.

Symptoms

The pain usually occurs during daily activities involving shoulder movement.

Causes

  • Trauma.
  • Tendon wear and tear.
  • Partial tears of the rotator cuff tendons with inflammation of adjacent structures.
  • Arthrosis of the shoulder joint.
  • Arthrosis of the acromioclavicular joint.

Approach protocol

Diagnosis and assessment

A correct medical evaluation will be necessary by means of a good anamnesis, physical examination and, if necessary, support of imaging tests, focusing especially on detecting which are the factors that have led this pad to become inflamed. We will observe if they are factors purely related to the activities that the patient performs or if there is any anatomical alteration that favors it. The multidisciplinary approach is essential for a comprehensive, personalized and focused on achieving a prolonged relief of pain depending on the phase in which it is.

Complementary tests

Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging.

Treatment

  • Interventional treatment: by providing the patient with interventional techniques, we will begin the treatment stage in which we will develop therapies to reduce the inflammation of this pad through the use of regenerative medicine or ultrasound-guided blocks.
  • Physiotherapy: methodology based on knowledge and clinical reasoning in which we combine a series of techniques and treatments both manual therapy and invasive techniques, always associated or complementing them with cutting-edge technology that allows us to accelerate the recovery process. Among other high-tech devices include Magnetolith, SIS, focal shock waves, Indiba, among others. This therapeutic combination allows us to activate the patient early to begin with a routine and a process of specific therapeutic exercises that allow us to enhance and strengthen the lost functional patterns.

Here begins your life without pain

Todo perfecto, son unas profesionales amabilísimas. Me ayudaron con un dolor lumbar que ni con rehabilitación pude aliviar. Incluso me ayudaron a gestionar una incidencia administrativa por parte de mi mutua que me impedía acceder al tratamiento. Muy recomendables!!
Muy buenos profesionales. Bien organizado. Puntuales y eficientes. Me ayudaron mucho. Desde la recepción a los sanitarios. En especial, Fran el fisioterapeuta que me designaron, fue estupenda su labor para mi recuperación. Gracias!!!
