During the summer months we see quite a few overuse injuries. Engaging in activities such as long-distance running, pickleball, or tennis without proper training and recovery can lead to overuse injuries such as tendonitis, stress fractures, and muscle strains.
To prevent overuse injuries, it’s important to incorporate rest days into your workout routine and cross-train to avoid repetitive stress on specific muscles and joints. It is also important to gradually increase the intensity and duration of your activities during the summer to avoid overuse.
Shoulder injuries are a common injury we see during the summer months. Swimming, tennis, pickleball, and other summer sports can put a strain on the shoulders, leading to injuries such as rotator cuff tears, tendonitis, and dislocations.
To help prevent shoulder injuries, it’s essential to maintain good posture, strengthen the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint, and avoid overexerting yourself during physical activities.

A common misconception about cortisone injections is that they only mask pain. Depending on the condition, corticosteroid injections may help manage symptoms or cure the problem. For example, bursitis of the shoulder can be cured with an injection, as it reduces the inflammation of the bursa. Corticosteroid injections for knee osteoarthritis are used to help manage pain.
Do you experience pain and loss of motion in your shoulder? It could be frozen shoulder, a condition more common in older adults, especially women. Inflammation of shoulder ligaments causes the shoulder capsule to thicken and stiffen. Non-surgical treatments like physical therapy and medication can help, but surgery may be necessary in some cases. Schedule an appointment today! #frozenshoulder #shoulderpain #orthopedics
