What Shoulder Problems Can We Help With?
Rotator cuff tear
Injury to the rotator cuff tendons, which help stabilise and move the shoulder, may cause pain, weakness, and restricted shoulder movement. A tear can occur as a result of an injury, but it may also develop gradually and spontaneously with age.

Frozen shoulder
Frozen shoulder typically begins with severe pain, which may also occur at night, followed by a gradual restriction in the shoulder’s range of motion. As the condition can have a prolonged course, starting appropriate treatment at the right time is particularly important.

Shoulder joint instability and recurrent shoulder dislocation
Following a shoulder dislocation or other injury, the structures responsible for stabilising the shoulder may become damaged. This can result in a feeling of instability, recurrent dislocations, or instability during certain movements.

Shoulder impingement syndrome
Impingement and repetitive irritation of certain structures within the shoulder can cause gradually developing shoulder pain and restricted movement. Symptoms may be particularly noticeable when raising the arm above the head and may also become bothersome at night.

Calcific tendinitis of the shoulder
Calcium deposits that develop in the rotator cuff tendons can cause intense shoulder pain and restricted movement. The pain may occur suddenly, but it can also develop gradually over several weeks.

Acromioclavicular joint pain
Overuse and degeneration of the acromioclavicular (AC) joint, located at the highest point of the shoulder, can primarily cause pain around the top of the shoulder. Symptoms often become worse with overhead movements or activities involving heavy loads.

Shoulder osteoarthritis
Gradual degeneration of the cartilage in the shoulder joint may initially cause pain associated with physical activity, which can later become persistent, along with increasingly restricted shoulder movement. In advanced cases, surgical treatment may be necessary, including shoulder joint replacement.

Clavicle fracture
A clavicle injury most commonly occurs as a result of a fall directly onto the shoulder or elbow. A fracture may cause pain, swelling, and visible deformity of the shoulder girdle.
