Expert Diagnosis • Advanced Treatment • Pain-Free Mobility
Shoulder arthritis is a condition where the smooth cartilage covering the bones of your shoulder joint wears down over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. The shoulder has two main joints that can be affected:
Glenohumeral Joint (Main Shoulder Joint): Where the upper arm bone (humerus) meets the shoulder blade (scapula).
Acromioclavicular (A-C) Joint: Where the collarbone (clavicle) meets the top of the shoulder blade.
At KS Ortho Care, we specialize in the accurate diagnosis, advanced treatment, and complete rehabilitation of shoulder arthritis using non-surgical and surgical techniques.
There are several forms of arthritis that can affect the shoulder:
Osteoarthritis (Wear-and-tear arthritis) – Gradual breakdown of cartilage, common with aging.
Rheumatoid Arthritis – An autoimmune condition causing joint inflammation and stiffness.
Post-Traumatic Arthritis – Develops after a previous shoulder injury or fracture.
Rotator Cuff Arthropathy – Arthritis caused by long-term rotator cuff injuries.
Natural aging and cartilage wear
Previous injuries like fractures or dislocations
Repetitive overhead activities
Autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis)
Genetic predisposition
You may have shoulder arthritis if you experience:
Persistent shoulder pain — especially during activity or at night
Stiffness and reduced range of motion
Grinding, clicking, or popping sounds in the shoulder
Swelling and tenderness around the joint
Weakness and difficulty lifting objects
⚠️ Tip: Early diagnosis and treatment can slow disease progression and prevent severe joint damage.
We use advanced imaging and assessment techniques to accurately diagnose shoulder arthritis:
Physical examination – checking range of motion and pain points
X-rays – to assess joint space and bone changes
MRI scans – for cartilage and soft tissue evaluation
Blood tests – for detecting inflammatory or autoimmune conditions
At KS Ortho Care, we offer personalized treatment plans depending on the type and severity of arthritis:
Medications – anti-inflammatory drugs and pain relievers
Steroid injections – to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief
Physiotherapy – improving flexibility, strength, and shoulder stability
Lifestyle modifications – avoiding repetitive overhead movements
