When you are in general good health, you might not realize how vital your shoulders are. However, if you suffer a shoulder injury and cannot grab something from the cupboard or lift your hand, you will understand how much you rely on your shoulders. You hence, need to seek immediate medical help promptly in case of a shoulder injury. At Upper Extremity Specialists of Synergy Orthopedic Specialists Medical Group, Kristopher Downing, MD, La Jolla, CA, orthopedic shoulder & elbow surgeon and Daniel Brereton, DO, provide effective shoulder injury diagnosis and treatment to ensure you return to your daily activities. For expert shoulder injury treatment, call or book an appointment online.

What Are the Common Shoulder Injuries?

Your shoulders are among the most flexible joints. They rely on a complex bone, muscle, and tendon network to facilitate an extensive motion range. However, this makes the shoulders more susceptible to injuries and problems. The common types of shoulder injuries include:

· Tendonitis.

· Arthritis.

· Instability.

· Fractures.

· Bursitis.

· Rotator cuff tears.

· Impingement.

Most shoulder injuries originate from a repetitive movement that hastens the wear and tear on your shoulder. Other potential causes of traumatic or acute shoulder injuries include an automobile collision or when engaging in sports. For instance, engaging in baseball, tennis, weight lifting, and swimming gives one a higher probability of getting shoulder injuries.

What Are the Symptoms of a Shoulder Injury?

Most shoulder injuries develop slowly, so you may not know you have an issue until you feel shoulder pain or deal with a limited range of motion. When you get the injury, you might feel like your upper arm bone may slide, pop out, or feel the shoulder being loose. Other shoulder injury symptoms include, weakness or stiffness and a tingling or numbing sensation in your hands. If you have signs of a shoulder injury that persists for several days, you should consider scheduling an appointment with Upper Extremity Specialists of Synergy Orthopedic Specialists Medical Group.

What Are the Available Shoulder Injuries Treatment Options?

There are various treatments for a shoulder injury, depending on your specific needs. The Upper Extremity Specialists of Synergy Orthopedic Specialists Medical Group provides comprehensive shoulder service to treat all shoulder issues from acute, chronic to degenerative conditions. Some of the non-surgical and surgical treatments for shoulder issues include:

· Medication.

· Compression and immobilization.

· Reparative orthopedics.

· Anti-inflammatory injections.

· Partial and full shoulder replacement.

· Shoulder arthroplasty.

· Shoulder instability procedures.

· Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Unlike other orthopedic surgeons, Dr. Downing and the team provide superior revision shoulder replacement and superior capsular reconstruction procedures making them stand out from other practices. After surgical treatment, physical therapy is an essential part of orthopedic shoulder treatment and recovery. It assists in protecting your flexibility and strength during and after treatment procedures.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
