I have a torn labrum in my shoulder
| < Back to Prolotherapy Article Index |
Q. I've had surgery on my supraspinatus and physical/massage therapy. I still seem to have an impingement around the coracoid area of my shoulder, according to my therapist. Would the labrum have anything to do with the impingement. I've ruled out vertebral issues and there is no impingement to the brachial plexus. Thanks for your input.
A. Typically we find that people who have chronic shoulders issues have laxity in their glenohumeral joint. Because the main shoulder joint is not solid or stable because of ligament injury, the laxity causes a pinching on structures in the joint such as the rotator cuff tendons and glenoid labrum. These types of injuries and mechanics are easily treated with Prolotherapy. Athletes only can generate power if their muscles can contract against joints that are very stable. Joints where there is excessive movement will cause the muscles to loose power. This is one of the main reasons why athletic performance goes down with injury. Prolotherapy to the shoulder
There is no power there even if during weight lifting the muscles have a lot of power. In other words a pitcher might note that the amount of weight they can lift has stayed the same but when they throw a pitch their speed has decreased from 92 mph to 85. I can tell you as well as them that in the pros they are going to get rocked if their fast ball is only 85. Bottom line is you need Prolotherapy.
