03 Jun Preventing Frozen Shoulder
Orthopedist in Nassau County
If you have unexplained shoulder pain that has been gradually getting worse, then you may be experiencing frozen shoulder. Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that affects your shoulder joint, causing pain and stiffness. It is caused by the thickening and tightening of the shoulder capsule, the tissue that surrounds your shoulder joint. Scar tissue forms over time, limiting your body’s natural production of synovial fluid used for joint lubrication. This causes limited motion and stiffness which can disrupt everyday activities that involve shoulder movement. An orthopedist in Nassau County at Advanced Orthopedics & Joint Preservation can provide you with the right treatment plan based on the cause of your frozen shoulder as well as your bodily condition.
01 Jun Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a condition that causes aching pain and irritation throughout the knee. Also referred to as runner's knee, PFPS usually affects the young, athletic, and the constantly active.PFPS is usually caused by overuse. Activities that involve running, jumping, and squatting put intense pressure on the knee, which can eventually cause damage. Other causes of PFPS include direct injuries to the knee, abruptly changes in the frequency of exercise, and misalignment of the knee joint. Those affected by patellofemoral pain syndrome, usually experience feelings of dull or aching pain in the knee. This pain will become worse when taking part in physical activities that require the knee to bend. This includes walking up and down stairs, sitting, or kneeling for extended periods of time, and going up or down hills.
