Chronic Pain Therapy for Shoulder Labrum Tears


An injury that is common in ball and socket joints (shoulder or hip), labrum tears cause a world of pain for patients.

Ball and socket joints are the conjunction of the rounded head of one bone and the cup like depression of another. To facilitate smooth movement and keep these joints stable, a cartilage like tissue called labrum covers the outside rim of the socket. A labral tear occurs when this ring of cartilage is damaged. Labrum tears can occur in both the shoulder and hip joints.

Symptoms

  • Deepset, aching pain - depending on the location of tear, the pain may be more towards the front of the shoulder or the back. Pain may also be experienced when lifting the shoulder in an overhead motion.
  • Popping, grinding, or clicking noises and sensations may be felt when moving the shoulder.
  • Shoulder weakness. You may feel as if your shoulder is going to pop out of the socket, or your overall strength may be reduced.

Causes

Labrum tears are often the result of sports injury. Golfers, baseball and tennis players are prone to shoulder labral tears. These types of tears can also result from accident, trauma, or overuse. With age, our connective tissues tend to degenerate, leading to an increased likelihood of injury.

If you or a loved one has been suffering with the chronic pain of a labral tear, there is a new option for recovery. Typical treatments involve pain medication and/or surgery, but Chronic Care of Richmond offers a non-invasive alternative. Our chronic pain therapy for labrum tears uses cutting edge research to help patients that are searching for chronic pain management resources.

Doctors are now leading the way in chronic pain research. For degenerative joint pain, our treatment offers a new and promising option. You don't have to live with the pain anymore; we can help you find enjoyment in life again.
