Expert Shoulder Pain Treatment in Northamptonshire
Shoulder Pain Physiotherapy and Surgical Solutions
Shoulder pain and injuries can significantly impact daily life, making routine tasks difficult and often leaving individuals frustrated. If you are based in Northamptonshire and struggling with a long-term shoulder or elbow problem, the UK Shoulder Clinic offers a pathway to recovery through expert physiotherapy and or surgical solutions.
Common Shoulder Problems in Northamptonshire
The shoulder is a complex joint, susceptible to issues such as rotator cuff tears, frozen shoulder, instability, and arthritis. These conditions often cause pain, stiffness, weakness, or a reduced range of motion. For elbow issues, such as tennis elbow or biceps tears, the symptoms can similarly hinder arm movement and grip strength.
At the UK Shoulder Clinic, led by consultant orthopaedic surgeon Mr. Malin Wijeratna, a tailored approach is provided to address each patient’s unique needs. From detailed diagnosis to rehabilitation, the focus is on effective, personalised care.
Non-Surgical Treatments for Shoulder Pain
For many shoulder conditions, non-surgical treatments can yield excellent results.
These include:
- Physiotherapy: Targeted exercises strengthen the shoulder, improve flexibility, and reduce pain.
- Pain Relief: Anti-inflammatory medications or steroid injections may help manage symptoms and inflammation.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Reducing activities that aggravate the injury, combined with structured physical therapy, often facilitates recovery.
For degenerative conditions, such as arthritis or long-term wear-and-tear injuries, physiotherapy combined with injections can provide relief without the need for invasive procedures.
Surgical Options for Severe Cases
When conservative treatments do not resolve the issue, surgery may be necessary. Common surgical interventions include:
- Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: Minimally invasive surgery to reattach tendons.
- Shoulder Stabilisation Surgery: Addresses recurrent dislocations or instability.
- Joint Replacement Surgery: Often required for severe arthritis, this replaces the damaged joint with an artificial implant.
The UK Shoulder Clinic prides itself on fast, efficient care, ensuring minimal waiting times for consultations, diagnostics, and surgery.
