What is intra-articular shoulder block?
Intra-articular shoulder block is a minimally invasive procedure performed in our clinic, with the purpose of relieving pain and improving the function of the affected shoulder. This technique consists of injecting local anesthetics and/or anti-inflammatory drugs directly into the shoulder joint, thus reducing pain and inflammation.
Common causes of shoulder pain
Shoulder pain can have several causes, such as sports injuries, repetitive movements, wear and tear due to aging or inflammatory conditions and osteoarthritis. Some of the more common conditions that can cause shoulder pain include:
- Tendinitis
- Bursitis
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder
- Arthritis
- Arthrosis
