When the swing is no longer the same.
When teeing off on the first hole. When putting on the jacket, when it has to go fast in the morning. If you have to lift the suitcase into the luggage compartment and leave the shoulder for a short time. Nobody sees it. You know it.
What we do for you.
Impingement means that tendons are irritated under the shoulder roof — typically in overhead athletes and desk workers with raised shoulders. Frozen shoulder is a stiffening of the shoulder capsule that develops over months. Lime shoulders are lime deposits in a tendon that can suddenly become very painful. The three classics — and all three are usually treatable conservatively.
What unites them: The shoulder does not need a quick solution, but a smart one. Manual therapy, targeted movement, shock waves where indicated, anti-inflammatory treatment, sometimes a targeted injection. In most cases, this results in a process in which the shoulder can again do what it is made for – be mobile.
This is not a test. If you find yourself in several sentences, it is worth the quiet specialist look – before the shoulder determines the pace of your life.
Typical Questions and Observations
These indications are not self-diagnosis. They help to arrange the personal concern for a specialist discussion.
- When you tee off, you notice that the swing is no longer the same.
- In the morning wearing the shirt costs a few seconds more than before.
- Raise the suitcase into the luggage compartment – you do this differently now.
- Lying on your shoulder at night is no longer an option.
- An operation is in the room — and you want someone who sees the whole picture.
- You want to know what’s really going on — from someone who has time and experience.
Why people who wear a lot?
Those who work at the desk and have sport in mind often have what you could call a double-loaded shoulder: many hours in an unfavorable sitting posture, then on weekends an intense load in golf or tennis. The shoulder is sensitive to this pattern.
In addition, there is the typical reflex: be usable again as quickly as possible. This is where the wrong decision is often made. Anyone who chooses an operation without exploiting the conservative ways risks reinforcements or weaknesses that are then difficult to recover. Patience and the right plan are often the faster solution here.
Quietly.
At re:NOW we examine the shoulder according to the method of Dr. Marianowicz : thorough, with modern imaging where necessary, with an eye for the whole - posture, muscle balance, movement patterns, load behavior.
This creates a treatment pathway that maintains mobility instead of restricting it: manual and physical therapy, targeted movement, shock waves where indicated, anti-inflammatory treatment. We recommend operations when they are really necessary – and not sooner.
In a place where the surroundings heal: the Kloster Beuerberg on Lake Starnberg.
Good to
know.
What is Frozen Shoulder?
A painful, progressive stiffness of the shoulder that can develop over months and makes everyday movements — putting on a jacket, combing hair — heavy. The cause is inflammation and gluing of the shoulder capsule. She heals in most cases with conservative therapy, but needs patience and the right treatment.
lime shoulder — does surgery need to be done?
Rarely. Lime deposits in the shoulder tendon can be very painful, but often resolve on their own with conservative treatment. Shock waves, targeted manual therapy, exercise and anti-inflammatory treatment are often very effective. An operation is the exception, not the rule.
Impingement Syndrome — What Does It Mean?
Irritation of tendons under the shoulder canopy, which become trapped during certain movements. Especially common among golfers, tennis players and swimmers, but also among people with long desk work. In most cases, it is extremely conservative – provided that movement, posture and muscle balance are taken into account.
When is shoulder surgery really necessary?
In certain cases — fresh large tendon cracks, severe injuries, individual advanced cases. But not nearly as often as surgery. Most shoulder problems respond excellently to conservative treatment. Who gets an operation recommended, should get a second opinion – especially at the shoulder, this is worth disproportionately.
