Periarthritis of shoulder joint. Treatment, symptoms, folk remedies, pills, gymnastics

Periarthritis of shoulder joint - a disease in which inflammation develops in the periarticular tissues. Untreated pathology can lead to the destruction of cartilage and joint deterioration in performance.

The causes of shoulder joint periarthritis

By inflammation can cause the following reasons:

• prolonged and excessive load on the joint (if in performing the same movement arm for a long time);
• trauma and microtrauma of the joint and surrounding tissues (most often the cause of inflammation are falling, stretching and podvyvyhi that people do not attach importance; As a result, developing an inflammatory process leading to periarthritis);

• age-related changes (in the elderly occurs wear of cartilage, which leads to the fact that even normal load joint perceived as excessive - there is a constant trauma and inflammation process);
• degenerative and dystrophic diseases of the spine (osteochondrosis thoracic or cervical spine, herniated intervertebral lead to deterioration of nerve tissue blood flow and conduction therein; The resulting cartilage of the shoulder joint is not supplied with nutrients, there is its wear and the inflammation);
• inflammatory diseases of the carry-forward in the surrounding tissues (in this case not fully cured inflammation affects the shoulder joint - often this occurs after myositis neck muscles);
• Operating on the joint intervention (if incorrect operation is performed, the joint cavity can get harmful bacteria cause inflammation).

Also, the reason can be prolonged periarthritis shoulder supercooling (drafts).

Risk factors

The main risk factor is a constant pressure on the shoulder joint. The disease more susceptible to people whose professional activity is connected with weight lifting and performing monotonous and active work of his hands:

• loaders;
• builders;
• Weightlifters, athletes, tennis, discus thrower.
• workers on the assembly line.

Also at risk are people leading a sedentary lifestyle. When there is no load in the blood circulation slows down cartilage and tissue stops receiving nutrients. As a result, the cartilage dries and begins to break down, causing inflammation.

types of diseases

Periarthritis of shoulder joint has several forms, depending on which further treatment:

Radiology	A picture is taken in the projections 3 for a more detailed consideration of the joint; if appropriate in the joint cavity injected contrast agent.
ultrasound	It is carried out to detect inflammation in the muscles. It requires no special training.
Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)	Allow to make 3D images and assess the state of the shoulder joint and surrounding tissues and to evaluate the stage of the disease; most commonly prescribed an MRI, but with contraindications to it is carried out CT.
Arthroscopy	Minimally invasive surgery, during which the joint cavity through microincision administered special device - arthroscope and watching state inside the joint. Also during the research can be taken a sample of the synovial membrane and surrounding structures for microbiological diagnosis.
