Thrower's Shoulder treatment in Culiacán

So-called thrower's shoulder groups together overuse injuries of the shoulder associated with the repeated throwing motion, common in sports such as baseball. The forced, repetitive movement puts strain on the tendons, ligaments and joint structures.

Frequent symptoms: Pain when raising or rotating the arm, loss of strength, a feeling of instability and discomfort that increases with sports activity.

Common causes: Repetitive high-demand movements, poor technique and lack of rest between training sessions.

Which specialist treats it? The orthopedic surgeon assesses the joint, and in injuries that involve structures of the hand and wrist, the hand surgeon may step in. When pain limits movement or does not ease with rest, it's advisable to schedule a review with one of these professionals.
