Injury tips and news

AC Joint pain treatment | Physiotherapy for shoulder pain in Amsterdam

The AC joint connects the collarbone to the shoulder blade and plays a key role in shoulder movements. Complaints can arise from overuse, poor posture, sports injuries, or a fall on the shoulder.

Typical symptoms include pain at the top of the shoulder, particularly when lifting the arm or bringing it across the body. The diagnosis is made based on physical examination and, where necessary, imaging such as X-ray or ultrasound. Most AC joint complaints, including after a dislocation, respond well to physiotherapy and targeted exercises, sometimes supplemented by an injection.

Surgery is only considered in cases of severe degeneration that does not respond to conservative treatment.

Biceps Tendon Treatment | Physiotherapy for Shoulder Pain

Biceps Tendon Problems: What you need to know.

Pain at the front of the shoulder is often caused by problems with the long head of the biceps tendon, a structure closely linked to the rotator cuff and shoulder stability.

Common conditions include tendinitis, subluxation, and partial or complete tears, causing pain, weakness, or clicking sensations. Diagnosis combines physical examination with ultrasound imaging, allowing dynamic real-time assessment. Physiotherapy is the first-line treatment, focusing on pain reduction and gradual strength restoration; injections or surgery are only considered when conservative care is insufficient.

Most patients recover well — even after a complete rupture, good shoulder function can be expected in the long term.

Shoulder Nerve Compression – Symptoms, Causes & Physiotherapy Treatment

Shoulder nerve compression is a relatively uncommon but impactful condition that can lead to pain, weakness, and numbness in the shoulder and arm. It occurs when nerves such as the suprascapular, axillary, or radial nerve are compressed due to overuse, injury, poor posture, or tissue swelling.

Symptoms often resemble other shoulder problems, making accurate diagnosis essential. Fortunately, with the right treatment — including physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medication, or in some cases surgery — most people experience significant recovery.

Early intervention is key to preventing long-term damage and restoring normal function.
