Swimmer's Shoulder treatment in Tijuana

Swimmer's shoulder is an overuse injury that affects the tendons and the joint of the shoulder, common in those who practice swimming or repeat overhead arm movements.

Which specialist provides care? The orthopedist and the sports medicine physician are the main references, with support from the physical therapist for rehabilitation; a general practitioner can guide the first visit.

Common symptoms: pain in the shoulder when swimming or raising the arm, weakness, discomfort when performing the stroke movement and, at times, nighttime pain.

Common causes: repetitive movements and overload of the rotator cuff tendons are usually behind the condition. If shoulder pain persists or interferes with your training, it is worth having a professional evaluate the joint.
