Soft Tissue Injections for Shoulder Pain

Soft Tissue Injections in Shoulders Treated Conditions

• Common shoulder conditions – There are a wide variety of conditions that can affect the shoulder, including Osteoarthritis, Tendinitis, Shoulder impingement syndrome, dislocated shoulder and more. 
• Frozen Shoulder – Also known as adhesive capsulitis, a frozen shoulder is a condition that causes pain and stiffness in the shoulder. It is characterized by a slow and progressive loss of range of motion in the shoulder joint, usually the result of injury, surgery, or prolonged periods of inactivity 
• Shoulder tendon calcification – Calcification of the shoulder tendons is a condition in which calcium deposits build up in the tendons of the shoulder, causing pain, stiffness and limited mobility. Calcification of the shoulder tendons is often a result of overuse or injury to the shoulder, and it is more common among people who engage in activities that involve repetitive overhead movements, such as throwing a ball or lifting weights. 
• AC joint degeneration of the shoulder – The acromioclavicular (AC) joint is the joint between the acromion (a bone in the shoulder blade) and the clavicle (collarbone). Degeneration of this joint is often the result of wear and tear, which can occur with age or with repetitive strain or overuse injuries. 
• Shoulder arthritis – Shoulder arthritis is a condition in which the joint that connects the upper arm bone (humerus) to the shoulder blade (scapula) becomes damaged or worn down. There are several different types of shoulder arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis. 
• Rotator cuff injury – A rotator cuff injury is any injury to the group of muscles and tendons that help to stabilize and move the shoulder joint. The rotator cuff is comprised of four muscles (the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis) and their associated tendons. These muscles and tendons work together to allow the shoulder to rotate and lift the arm. 
• Bursitis – Bursa are fluid-filled sacs that serve as a cushion between bones and other moving parts, such as muscles and tendons. Bursitis is the inflammation of a bursa, which can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the affected joint.  
• Long head of biceps tendonitis – Biceps tendonitis is a condition in which the tendon that connects the biceps muscle to the shoulder becomes inflamed. The biceps muscle has two tendons, the long head and the short head, and either one can be affected by tendonitis. Long head biceps tendonitis specifically refers to inflammation of the long head tendon.
