Types of Shoulder Arthritis Treatment in Mishawaka
With over 50 million Americans who are diagnosed with shoulder arthritis, orthopedists all over the nation have developed ways to treat shoulder arthritis both surgically and nonsurgically.
NonSurgical Treatment Includes
- Rest. If you are continually using your shoulder in the same repetitive motions, whether it be work or sport – resting your shoulder can help relieve you of your pain.
- Physical Therapy. Exercises prescribed to improve the functionality of your shoulder and developing muscle can help improve your range of motion and reduce pain.
- Non-Steroid Medications & Steroid Injections. Prescriptions such as ibuprofen can be used to reduce inflammation and pain – while steroid injections can be placed directly into the shoulder to reduce inflammation and reduce pain, all very temporary solutions.
- Icing Shoulder. For about 20-30 minutes 2-3 times a day can help reduce inflammation and pain.
Surgical Treatment Includes
- Arthroscopic Surgery. By using a miniature camera and miniature instruments, a very small incision can be placed on the shoulder, and treatment may be performed if necessary to help debride and clean up the joint.
- Shoulder Replacement Surgery. Damaged parts of the shoulder can be removed and replaced with artificial prosthesis to improve range of motion in shoulder.
