Get your shoulder tendonitis treated in Bangkok at J-CLINIC
Hello, this is Sato from J-CLINIC, a physiotherapy and acupuncture clinic in Bangkok.
Here in Bangkok, a lot of people enjoy golfing – but many golfers suffer from shoulder tendonitis. In this article, I’ll talk about shoulder tendonitis and how you can get it treated.
What is shoulder tendonitis?
Shoulder tendonitis is an inflammation of the rotator cuff. It’s caused when fatigue builds up in your shoulder from repetitive lifting and rotating.
Shoulder tendonitis is caused by overuse of the shoulder
You can get shoulder tendonitis if you overuse your shoulder. Overuse can come from repetitive movements where you raise your arm above your head, such as golf swings, weightlifting, tennis serves and volleyball spikes.
Common symptoms of shoulder tendonitis
If you have shoulder tendonitis, you may experience pain in the shoulder when you:
extend the arm in the finish of a golf swing
lift your shoulder to take off a shirt
work on a computer
fold your arms
Our treatments for shoulder tendonitis treated
Manual treatment
Manual treatment will relax the tension in your superficial shoulder muscles and deep trigger points to improve your body balance.
Motion and manipulation
Motion and manipulation will improve the range of motion of your shoulder joints. It also improves elasticity while relieving soft tissue adhesions and stiffness.
Ultrasound and high voltage therapy
Ultrasound and high voltage therapy promotes cellular repair. It speeds up healing and relieves pain.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture improves blood flow to the stiff muscle tissue that is causing you pain and limiting your range of motion. The improved blood flow will flush out the pain-producing substances collecting in the stiff areas. It also relieves tension in joints and muscle ligaments, giving you better a range of motion and relief from pain.
Taping therapy
Taping supports the bruised area to prevent further injuries.
Poultice
We can also prescribe poultices to help relieve your pain.
Training and self-care guidance
After the pain goes down, we will teach you exercises that you can do at home and self-care tips to prevent your injury from recurring.
* Strengthening the inner shoulder muscles (rotator cuff) using a TheraBand.
* Relaxing the muscles around the shoulder with a massage ball. Your muscle flexibility is reduced after a sprain. To prevent spraining your muscles again, it’s
important to do self-care exercises at home once your symptoms have improved.
TheraBands and massage balls are available at our clinic.
