Non-Surgical Relief For Shoulder Pain In Ospina Medical – New York, NY
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, an advantage that also makes it more vulnerable to instability, especially in the presence of injury or degenerative conditions.
At Ospina Medical, New York, NY, many patients explore treatment because they’re seeking relief from shoulder pain caused by injuries, arthritis, or other joint issues. While surgery is often considered, research shows it may not always provide effective results.¹ In fact, imaging such as MRIs may reveal tears or degeneration that aren’t responsible for the patient’s pain.2

The shoulder is a shallow ball-and-socket joint. The ball is called the humerus bone, and the socket is called the glenoid. The lip around the socket is called the labrum (Latin for “lip”), and its main job is to keep the shoulder ball inside its shallow socket. Ligaments and the rotator cuff also help keep the shoulder in place.
Shoulder instability occurs when tendons and ligaments get stretched, torn due to trauma, or simply worn out due to age and allow too much motion in the joint. This additional motion leads to arthritis as sections of the joint are exposed to more wear and tear, bone spurs as your body’s solution to “shoring up” an unstable joint, and tears and stretching of the ligaments as they deal with forces they’re not designed to withstand.3
