Shoulder arthritis treatment in Delhi
As with all arthritis, researchers have confirmed that exercise is the best way of controlling arthritic pain, strengthening your muscles or keeping and improving your joint and muscle flexibility.
Possible causes
- inflammation or damage to the muscles and tendons around the shoulder
- tension in the muscles between the neck and shoulder (common in some workers or people with poor upper back and neck posture)
- inflammation in the sac of soft tissue (bursa) that normally allows the muscles and tendons to slide smoothly over the shoulder bones
- damage to the bones and cartilage, which can be caused by arthritis.
Your physiotherapist can guide you with what exercises are best for you and your stage of arthritis.
