Pathology
The muscle key of the shoulder rotator muscle is between the greater trochanter of the humerus and the base of the acromion. When raising the hand, the muscle key is easily pinched and rubbed, causing inflammation of the muscle key. At the same time, there is a synovial bursa under the acromion to cushion the shoulder rotator muscle keys from pinching. Excessive pinching can also cause inflammation of the synovial bursa, causing pain in the shoulder.
Causes
Repetitive raising, swiping, or throwing movements
Chronic hunchback or poor posture
Insufficient neck and arm muscle strength
Tight chest muscles
Congenital factors-the shape of the acromion bone is too curved or too thick
Symptoms
May be limited in raising hands due to pain
Pain is usually concentrated in the front of the shoulder
Shoulder discomfort and rattling when raising hands
Pinching sensation in the shoulder or the tendon snaps when raising the hand
High-Risk Individuals
Requires repeated raising of hands above shoulders during work
Athletes (Repeated swings and throws)
Patients who have experienced shoulder trauma (More likely to develop abnormalities in shoulder joint movement control)
Treatments
Electromagnetic Field Therapy: Relieves pain and inflammation, accelerates bone tissue healing
Focused Shockwave: Crush tendon calcification and induce rotator tendon repair
Ultrasound: Deep heating, accelerated tissue repairment
Sports Therapy: Design a systematic performance training program to gradually increase the load capacity of the rotator tendon
Interferential Current Therapy: Reduce inflammation, relieve pain, accelerate blood circulation
Acupuncture: Eliminate muscle tension, adjust the position of the humeral blade, and reduce extrusion
Possible consequences of not treating early
Supraspinalis tendon tear
Fibrosis and calcification of the rotator cuff tendon supraspinalis
Increased chance of bone spurs appearing under the acromion
Induced frozen shoulder (frozen shoulder)
Surgical treatment may be required: Subacromial decompression surgery thins and smoothes the excessively curved acromion to reduce friction on the rotator cuff
