Shoulder Pain Stealing Your Freedom?

Can’t lift your arm without pain? Dressing, driving, or even sleeping becoming a struggle? You might have subacromial impingement, where inflamed tendons get pinched in your shoulder joint.

Subacromial Decompression in Islamabad | From Restricted to Restored—Your Shoulder Deserves It!

Subacromial decompression is a procedure that decreases shoulder stress caused by a narrowing of the subacromial distance, which is located underneath the top of the shoulder blade (acromion) and the rotator cuff.

This rigidity may lead ligaments and bursae to become impacted, leading to chronic inflammation, pain, and limited mobility. The surgery involves removing or shaving a part of the acromion bone and inflamed tissue (such as the fluid) for the tendons to move easily.

What’s Causing Your Shoulder Pain?

Various factors contribute to causing the shoulder pain, which include; 

  • Athletes (swimmers, tennis players).
  • Manual laborers (construction, painters).
  • Gym-goers are doing overhead lifts.
  • After 40, tendons lose elasticity.
  • Cartilage thins over time.

When Do Doctors Recommend Surgery?

Persistent pain lasting 6+ months despite:

  • Anti-inflammatory meds (NSAIDs).
  • Cortisone injections (temporary relief only).
  • 3+ months of physiotherapy.
  • Rest & activity changes (but pain returns with movement).

What to expect? Results!

Arthroscopic shoulder surgery has excellent outcomes. Furthermore, someone with subacromial deflation frequently has a considerable decrease in discomfort and stiffness. Acromioplasty in Islamabad also results in enhanced shoulder mobility and functionality.  

As a result, you will be free to pursue your sports, business, and other interests without any restriction. Similarly, adequate treatment and care produce long-term outcomes and increase quality of life.

General anesthesia (fully asleep) or

A tiny camera projects HD images of your shoulder onto a screen.

You’ll wake up with a sling (temporary).
