Comprehensive Treatment for Shoulder and Elbow Conditions

At Vaani Wellness, we provide specialized care for a variety of shoulder and elbow conditions that can significantly impact your daily activities and quality of life. Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals is committed to diagnosing and treating these conditions effectively to restore function, reduce pain, and enhance overall mobility.

Shoulder Conditions

1. Rotator Cuff Injuries: The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. Injuries can range from inflammation and tears to full rotator cuff ruptures, often resulting from overuse or acute trauma.
2. Shoulder Impingement: This condition occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff become compressed during shoulder movements, leading to pain and restricted motion. It’s commonly associated with overhead activities.
3. Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): Characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint, frozen shoulder can develop gradually and restrict movement significantly. It is often related to previous injuries or prolonged immobility.
4. Shoulder Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac that cushions the shoulder joint, can lead to pain and swelling, particularly during overhead activities.
5. Shoulder Dislocation: This occurs when the upper arm bone pops out of the shoulder socket, often due to trauma or injury. Immediate medical attention is crucial to realign the joint and prevent long-term complications.
6. Shoulder Instability: Often a result of previous dislocations or injuries, shoulder instability can lead to frequent dislocations or a feeling of looseness in the joint, requiring rehabilitation or surgical intervention.
7. Labral Tears: The labrum is a cartilage ring that deepens the shoulder socket. Tears can occur from acute injury or repetitive overhead motions, resulting in pain, instability, and a catching sensation in the shoulder.
8. Acromioclavicular (AC) Joint Injury: This involves damage to the joint where the collarbone meets the highest point of the shoulder blade. It can be caused by falls or direct impacts, resulting in pain and difficulty moving the arm.
9. Shoulder Arthritis: Degenerative joint conditions such as osteoarthritis can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion in the shoulder, often requiring a combination of physical therapy and medical management.
10. Tendonitis (e.g., Biceps Tendonitis): Inflammation of the tendons in the shoulder can result from repetitive use or injury, leading to pain and limited mobility.

Elbow Conditions

• Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): This common condition involves inflammation of the tendons on the outside of the elbow, typically caused by repetitive motions of the wrist and arm, leading to pain and weakness.
• Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Similar to tennis elbow but affecting the inside of the elbow, golfer’s elbow results from overuse of the wrist flexor muscles, causing pain and tenderness.
• Elbow Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa at the elbow joint can result from direct trauma or prolonged pressure, leading to swelling and discomfort.
• Elbow Dislocation: This occurs when the bones in the elbow are forced out of position, often due to falls or accidents. Prompt medical attention is required to realign the joint and ensure proper healing.
• Ulnar Nerve Entrapment (Cubital Tunnel Syndrome): Compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow can lead to numbness and tingling in the ring and little fingers, often exacerbated by prolonged elbow flexion.
• Olecranon Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa located at the tip of the elbow can cause swelling and pain, commonly referred to as "student's elbow."
• Fractures (e.g., Olecranon Fracture): Fractures of the elbow can occur due to trauma, resulting in pain, swelling, and limited mobility. Treatment may include immobilization or surgical intervention.

Tendon Ruptures: Injuries to the tendons around the elbow can result in loss of function and may require surgical repair, especially if the tendon is completely torn.

• Arthritis (e.g., Osteoarthritis): Degenerative changes in the elbow joint can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion, often requiring a combination of treatments for management.
• Tendonitis (e.g., Triceps Tendonitis): Inflammation of the triceps tendon can occur due to overuse or acute injury, causing pain and weakness in elbow extension.

At Vaani Wellness, we utilize a multidisciplinary approach to treat these conditions, which may include physical therapy, medication, injections, and, when necessary, surgical options. Our goal is to help you regain your strength and function, allowing you to return to your favorite activities and live pain-free.
