Shoulder injuries (orthopaedics)
The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in our body and allows us to move and rotate our arms in many directions. An interplay of bones, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and an elastic joint capsule guarantees both mobility and the necessary stability.
condition
Shoulder impingement
When the tendons of the shoulder become chronically wedged between the roof of the shoulder and the upper arm, we speak of an entrapment (impingement) of the shoulder. This causes pain in the upper arm.
condition
Shoulder instability
In all movements of a normal shoulder, the humeral head is located centrally in the scapula. If the contact between the head and the socket disappears with certain movements, this indicates instability and you get the feeling that the shoulder is 'dislocating'.
condition
Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine bends sideways, creating an S- or C-shaped curve. This can cause vertebrae and ribs to deform.
treatment
Decompression
Decompression means the removal of pressure on the nerves. This pressure can be caused by bony growth or possible hernias.
treatment
Facet infiltration
The vertebrae of the back consist of cubes stacked on top of each other that can move in relation to each other like hinges because of facet joints. When changes occur in these facet joints due to an accident or wear and tear, it can cause pain in the back.
