A torn shoulder labrum, such as a SLAP tear, might make the shoulder unstable or move too much. Instability events typically result in discomfort and irritation leading to inflammation and pain. A cortisone shot is a type of corticosteroid, which are hormones that reduce swelling and inflammation in the body.
Intra-articular corticosteroid injections quickly relieve shoulder painShoulder pain is any pain felt around in and around the shoulder joint. The shoulder is the most mob More by effectively controlling the swelling brought on by the SLAP tear. Corticosteroid injections are less intrusive, more patient-acceptable, and more affordable than surgery. The quick and long-lasting pain relief provided by these injections promotes the early initiation of muscle-strengthening exercises and yields greater satisfaction among patients.
SLAP injuries can cause rotator cuffThe rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that attach the shoulder blade to the upper arm b More and scapular muscular weakness and dyskinesis, as well as change the intricate role the labrum plays in glenohumeral kinematics. In order to treat this illness and lessen the mechanical symptoms linked to SLAP lesions, shoulder strengthening exercises may be beneficial.
Non-operative management using an appropriate regimen of combined intra-articular corticosteroid injection with rotator cuff and periscapular strengthening exercises has proven to provide satisfactory clinical outcomes in patients with a symptomatic SLAP (superior labrum from anterior to posterior) lesion.
