What is shoulder joint bursitis? - It can trigger it!
Author Dr. Bálint Major | 2019.08.22.
The shoulder joint, which is the joint between the shoulder blade and the humerus, is the joint with the greatest range of motion in the body. Lifting the arm is part of everyday natural movement, but it requires not only movement of the upper arm, but also movement of the shoulder blade. For the arm to move through its full range of motion, there is a coordinated process between the nervous system and the musculoskeletal system. If the joint becomes overloaded, this process is disrupted and shoulder movement becomes painful, inflammatory processes the appearance of frozen shoulder syndrome
What could be the cause?
The cause of overload is often first identified as heavy objects but this may not necessarily be a problem. Whether the small movements repeated many times can also lead to an inflammatory disease of the shoulder joint, called bursitis.
The summer hose is located between the acromion and the head of the humerus in the so-called subacromial space. The tendons of some muscles run between the two bones in this narrow space. A the task of a flock hose is to ensure that the two bones move relative to each other by reducing friction.
If this tiny space is reduced further, the bursal sac is subjected to greater stress, increasing friction and leading to inflammation of the bursal sac (bursitis subacromialis). due to anatomical variation of the acromion, but in most cases the caused by improper positioning of the scapula. The reason for the latter problem is that the shoulder girdle falls forward most of the day and a maintenance disorder is formed. From sedentary work people, or the for people doing stationary work it is also possible that the weak muscles around the scapula and the shortened pectoral muscles can lead to a change in the position of the scapula.
In the case of improper maintenance exercises, such as large movements with a barbell or everyday movements without weight, there will be more friction on the saddle hose. A the wall of the hose can thicken, further reducing the already small space below the shoulder peak, or even catch fire. Then the movements become painful and difficult to perform.
I can only work with the patient to find a solution to the problem. What kind of shoulder problem it might be, I will decide after listening to the patient's complaints in detail.

Treatment of frozen shoulder
It is important to start at this time reducing inflammation, which can happen for example pharmaceutical, or different electrotherapy procedures with the help of. It is worth giving the joint some rest.
To prevent inflammation from developing again later or leading to more serious problems - such as damage to the rotator cuff - it is important to use physiotherapy to restore the shoulder girdle and shoulder movements. By developing the right muscle balance the grip can be improved. This means not only strengthening muscles, but also stretching certain muscles. It is important to learn about ergonomic working practices to reduce the harm caused by improper loads.
If the wall of the sphincter becomes thicker due to prolonged inflammation or improper loading, and the tendons of the muscles running through it are severely damaged, it may be possible to surgically can remedy the problem. These processes are preventable, if you visit one in time a specialist shoulder specialist and physiotherapist.
