The Importance of Therafit Physical Therapy for Sternoclavicular Joint Problems

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on Sternoclavicular Joint problems. At Therafit Physical Therapy, a leading provider of specialized therapies, we understand the impact that sternoclavicular joint issues can have on your daily life. That's why we are dedicated to helping patients like you overcome these challenges and regain optimal shoulder function.

Understanding Sternoclavicular Joint Problems

The sternoclavicular joint, located where the collarbone meets the breastbone, plays a crucial role in maintaining stability and facilitating shoulder movements. However, this joint can be susceptible to various problems such as sprains, dislocations, arthritis, and inflammation.

Common causes of sternoclavicular joint issues may include trauma or injury, repetitive strain, degenerative conditions, or underlying medical conditions. If you are experiencing any symptoms such as pain, swelling, restricted range of motion, or a popping sensation in your sternoclavicular joint, it's important to seek professional help for an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

Diagnosing Sternoclavicular Joint Problems

Proper diagnosis is the first step towards finding relief from sternoclavicular joint problems. When you visit Therafit Physical Therapy, our experienced team will conduct a thorough evaluation of your shoulder, considering factors like your medical history, symptoms, and any previous injuries. We may also perform physical examinations and imaging tests such as X-rays or MRI scans to assess the extent of the problem.

Treating Sternoclavicular Joint Problems

Treatment for sternoclavicular joint problems will depend on the specific condition, severity, and individual patient needs. At Therafit Physical Therapy, our highly skilled therapists will work closely with you to design a personalized treatment plan that aims to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, promote healing, and restore shoulder function.

The treatment options may include:

• Physical therapy exercises: Our specialized exercises will focus on increasing strength, flexibility, and stability of the sternoclavicular joint, as well as improving overall shoulder mechanics.
• Manual therapy techniques: Our therapists may utilize hands-on techniques such as joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, or myofascial release to enhance joint mobility and reduce pain.
• Modalities: We may incorporate modalities such as heat therapy, cold therapy, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, or laser therapy to promote tissue healing and relieve discomfort.
• Posture and ergonomics education: We will provide valuable guidance on maintaining proper posture and modifying daily activities to prevent further strain on the sternoclavicular joint.
• Home exercise program: To maximize the benefits of therapy, we will equip you with a personalized home exercise program to continue your progress outside of sessions.
• Pain management techniques: In some cases, we may recommend pain management interventions, such as medication or injections, to help control severe pain and inflammation.
