Not sure which spine condition you might have? Find out with our 2-minute Condition Checker.
Do you have a spinal condition that’s causing you chronic pain intense enough to interfere with your life or day-to-day activities? Are you afraid you’ll never be able to get your pain under control or that it might continue to worsen as you age?
Many people with spinal disorders feel frustrated, confused, and helpless about their conditions. As many as 500,000 people suffer from some form of spinal injury each year. The good news is that you can ease your concerns and fears by gaining a better understanding of your condition.
At NJ Spine and Orthopedic, we work to help you understand your symptoms, diagnose your condition and inform you of the various treatments. Below is an overview of the most common types of spine conditions, as well as other orthopedic conditions.
If you use your shoulders frequently in sports, work, or otherwise, you may experience shoulder pain, which could indicate shoulder tendonitis. This tendonitis is a condition that results from rotator cuff or bicep tendon inflammation pinching or trapping tendons against the bones in the shoulder.
A SLAP tear occurs when the labrum of the shoulder tears from the anterior to posterior side where it attaches to the biceps tendon. The labrum is a ring of cartilage that lines the socket of the shoulder, also known as the glenoid cavity. These types of injuries can occur with repetitive motion (such as occupational injuries), from trauma, or age-related degeneration.
Frozen shoulder occurs when the ligaments that compose your shoulder capsule begin to form scar tissue (whether from age, injury, or diseases such as diabetes). As the scar tissue accumulates, the loose connective tissue that forms your shoulder capsule begins to tighten. When the capsule becomes too stiff, the range of motion in your arm becomes limited and pain can result.
Bursae are tiny, fluid-filled sacs that protect your shoulder against accidental injury from the spinal tissues that support it. In the shoulder, your Subacromial Bursa sits above the rotator cuff and below a portion of the shoulder blade known as the acromion bone. Shoulder Bursitis occurs when the Subacromial Bursa becomes inflamed or swollen.
