How to deal with shoulder pain, one of the most common ailments in medical consultations following the knee
There are few pains as bothersome as that of shoulder. We are talking regarding a highly uncomfortable experience that can arise from an injury to that area of the body. The shoulder acts as a vital connection between the arm and the trunk, playing a fundamental role in our day to day. Therefore, any ailments in this region significantly affect our quality of life.
One of the most common injuries associated with the shoulder is the one that affects the rotator cuff, being able to trigger a tendinitis or tendinosis. These injuries not only involve inflammation of one or several tendons, but in many cases are accompanied by a partial progressive chronic rupture of the same and, in severe cases, can even cause a complete tendon rupture.
Identifying the signs of shoulder tendinitis
When the pain is located in the front of the shoulder, and radiating to the arm, it is likely that the supraspinatus tendon be affected. This injury can be easily recognized, as very simple movements can be extremely painful.
This lesion has a direct hit in daily life, since basic activities such as raising your arm to reach high shelves in a closet or performing personal hygiene activities become a real challenge. when the pain persists over time, even if it is not constant, it is crucial to look for the specialist caresince early detection is essential for the recovery of joint mobility and to avoid complete rupture of the tendon, as is the case of Amadeo, a patient at Clínicas Cres who gives us his testimony in the previous video.

A treatment combining physiotherapy and regenerative medicine
Success in treating these lesions is achieved by combination of physiotherapy and regenerative medicine. Dr. Carlos Jarabo, medical director of Cres Clinic, explains that these injuries can be caused by a yank with a raised arm or a fall with an outstretched arm. The chronic injuries in the rotator cuff are the result of repetitive microtrauma that occurs when elevating the elbow above shoulder height.
It is common for patients to initially experience pain with movement, but over time, the discomfort becomes constant and more difficult to relieve. At this point, resorting to anti-inflammatory drugs or pain relievers becomes necessary. In addition, on many occasions, patients must change their position in bed, which affects their quality of sleep and rest.
As we mentioned earlier, these symptoms can be successfully treated through the combination of physiotherapy and regenerative medicine. The physiotherapy helps prevent the formation of calcifications that form in the tendon due to chronic inflammation, while the regenerative medicine seeks to restore the functionality of the joint.

The regenerative medicine It consists of a set of treatments and techniques that use biological material extracted from the patient himself with the aim of restoring the functionality of the joint. The main objective is Improve Life Quality of the patient. These treatments are safe, do not generate rejection and do not require hospitalization, according to Dr. Jarabo. In addition to being effective in shoulder injuriesregenerative medicine has proven to be successful in other joints, such as the knee or the hip, especially in the treatment of osteoarthritis symptoms.
