The Shoulder & Elbow

Shoulder arthritis occurs when the cartilage in the shoulder joint breaks down, causing stiffness, pain, and swelling. The most common types are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and posttraumatic arthritis.

This condition involves the inflammation or tearing of muscles and tendons in the shoulder area. It often results from repetitive overhead motion or heavy lifting and leads to pain and weakness in the shoulder

Bursitis is inflammation of the bursa, a small, fluid-filled sac that cushions the shoulder joint. Shoulder bursitis often results from overuse, injury, or an underlying condition like arthritis, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced range of motion.

Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition caused by overuse and muscle strain in the forearm. Despite the name, it can affect anyone who repeatedly performs gripping activities. Similar to tennis elbow but affecting the inner part of the elbow, golfer's elbow is a type of tendinitis that causes pain and inflammation due to repetitive use or strain of the forearm muscles.

Frozen shoulder syndrome, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition characterized by pain and limited range of motion in the shoulder joint, often resulting from inflammation, scarring, or thickening of the shoulder capsule. Over time, this can lead to stiffness and difficulty in performing everyday activities.
