A torn labrum is a common shoulder injury that can cause pain, instability, and limited range of motion. At Align Health, we understand the impact of a torn labrum on your shoulder health and overall well-being, and our dedicated team of healthcare professionals is committed to providing effective treatment, promoting healing, and relieving discomfort.
Understanding a Torn Labrum:
The labrum is a ring of cartilage that surrounds the socket of the shoulder joint, providing stability and support to the joint. A torn labrum can occur due to acute trauma, such as a fall or dislocation, or from repetitive movements that put stress on the shoulder joint. It can also be associated with shoulder instability and may lead to pain, weakness, clicking or popping sensations, and limited shoulder movement.
Comprehensive Evaluation:
At Align Health, we begin the treatment process by conducting a comprehensive evaluation of your torn labrum. Our experienced healthcare providers will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and perform a physical examination of your shoulder to assess the severity of the tear and its impact on shoulder function.
Personalized Treatment Plan:
Based on the evaluation, we will create a tailored treatment plan that aims to provide relief from a torn labrum and promote healing. The plan may include a combination of the following approaches:
Pain Management: Various pain-relieving techniques, such as cold laser therapy, ultrasound, or electrical stimulation, may be used to alleviate shoulder pain and reduce inflammation.
Chiropractic Care: Gentle adjustments can help improve shoulder alignment, reduce joint restrictions, and alleviate stress on the torn labrum.
Physical Therapy: Customized exercises and stretches will be prescribed to strengthen the muscles around the shoulder, improve shoulder stability, and facilitate labrum healing.
Rest and Rehabilitation: Adequate rest and controlled rehabilitation will be emphasized to avoid further strain on the torn labrum and promote optimal healing.
Joint Support: We may recommend the use of supportive devices, such as slings or braces, to protect the torn labrum during the healing process.
Medication Management: In some cases, anti-inflammatory medications or pain relievers may be prescribed to manage pain and reduce inflammation.
