Rotator Cuff Care in Malaysia Without Injection or Surgery

Shoulder Joint Motion & Mobility

In fact, shoulder joint mobility is due to its shallow depth and the combination of attaching muscles. The shoulder joint is a shallow structure, reinforced by encapsulating ligaments and mobilized by connecting muscles. Therefore, all structures must function within normal parameters for the shoulder joint to work unhindered.

As mentioned, the primary shoulder joint is a dish-and-ball-like joint that allows us to move our arms freely in almost all directions. However, because of its great flexibility and the disproportion in size between the “ball” and the “socket,” the shoulder joint is often described as the most unstable joint in the human body.

The rotator cuff muscles comprise four different muscles: supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. Collectively, they are responsible for arm movements at the shoulder joint. Together, the tendons of these muscles merge to form the rotator cuff. Thus, they ensure the stability of your shoulder joint.

Eventually, neglect of minor issues in shoulder muscles can lead to impingement syndromes, discomfort, and even degenerative changes. Therefore, don’t ignore the slightest discomfort in your shoulder. So, call us today for conservative shoulder treatment in Malaysia. Our state-of-the-art therapeutic technologies, such as shockwave therapy, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and targeted rehabilitation, are the perfect remedy you need.

Supraspinatus Muscle

The supraspinatus muscle plays the initiator’s role in the abduction of the arm alongside the deltoid muscle. In fact, they both contain the same abduction power. The muscle originates from the Supraspinous fossa and inserts into the superior facet of the greater tuberosity of the Humerus.

Infraspinatus Muscle

This muscle lies inferior to the supraspinatus muscle as it originates from the infraspinatus fossa and inserts into the medial facet of the humeral greater tuberosity. The function of this muscle is to facilitate the external rotation of the shoulder.

Teres Minor Muscle

Originating from the scapula’s lateral border and inserting at the greater tuberosity’s inferior facet, the teres minor muscle also aids with external rotation.

Subscapularis Muscle

The subscapularis muscle is the largest and most influential of the rotator cuff muscles, enabling the shoulder’s internal rotation. About 53% of the cuff strength belongs to this muscle. It originates from the subscapular fossa and inserts into the lesser tuberosity of the humeral head.

Due to the intricacies of these muscles and their role, they are very susceptible to injury. Among the various conditions, the more common forms of damage include rotator cuff tears and rotator cuff tendinopathy. Rotator cuff injuries of the shoulder joint are shared among all but more prevalent in sports. Traumatic injuries to the shoulder involving the rotator cuffs are most common among racket sports, such as tennis or badminton players. Moreover, gym-goers may also be susceptible significantly if they don’t warm up or push themselves too hard.

The second group of patients predisposed to rotator cuff tears is middle-aged and elderly. Non-athletic tears in middle-aged persons or elderly patients are the results of degenerative changes. Degenerative changes are common in patients who ignore smaller shoulder discomfort or malfunction. Over time, these degenerative changes are progressive, often leading to tears with increased activity. For this reason, we advise caring for even the most minor shoulder discomfort or injury before it escalates into more significant issues or larger tears of the rotator cuffs.

Tendons, Muscles & Ligaments Cause Of Frozen Shoulder Or Adhesive Capsulitis

Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis results from damage or injury to the rotator cuff or SITS muscles. The main symptom of a frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis is an inability to move the shoulder freely. As a result, most patients suffering from adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) will also complain of losing sleep.

Notably, adhesive capsulitis is more common in females. Unfortunately, it can lead to paralyzing annoyance and discomfort.

So, visit us before you opt for steroid injections or shoulder surgery. Opt for the non-surgical frozen shoulder treatment in Malaysia today.

Of course, the care for any spine, joint, or sports injury is non-operative means. Surgery involves cutting, which will always lead to a degree of soft tissue damage. In contrast, effective non-operative methods that are holistic offer longer-lasting benefits without the risks of surgical complications.

In many cases, our methods of CSC’s nearby physiotherapy center can help restore proper function following an injury.

Steroid Injections For Shoulder Muscle Tear

Many surgical centers recommend steroid injections into the shoulder joint. At best, an injection (steroid injection) may decrease discomfort for a few days or weeks, but it will never reverse the damage. Worse, the steroid injected into the shoulder joint can cause degenerative changes in your shoulder, leading to premature wear and tear. Often, people who have had a shoulder injection end up having surgical intervention.

Should You Opt For Shoulder Surgery For Your Rotator Cuff Injury?

Contrary to common belief, rotator cuff surgeries are not that successful. The dirty little secret of rotator cuff surgery is that tear occurs following surgery. The subsequent tears are often larger and more dramatic. Even though shoulder surgeries have become a standard procedure in many surgical settings, the success rate has not improved. The published research titled “Rotator Cuff Repair,” released in Vol 43, Issue 2, 2015, of the American Journal of Sports Medicine, related that tears often occur in about two years following the surgical intervention.

Consequently, we encourage all our patients with shoulder injuries to seek non-surgical interventions as their first option. Re-tears occur mainly due to surgical intervention, which leads to fatty deposits along muscle fibers. As a result, these fat deposits are the leading cause of reinjury.
