Acromioclavicular joints (AC joints) are a synovial junction where the collarbone meets your shoulder blade. It is formed by a cartilage and ligament disk that supports the joint. The distal 1 to 2 cm of the clavicle are enveloped by the ligaments. AC joint injuries can cause severe pain and disability. However, there is hope.
You may be able get relief from an AC joint injury by shoulder tapping. Shoulder tapping helps stabilize the shoulder in recovery and prevents it becoming inflamed. This can help make the shoulder feel more comfortable and speed up the healing process.
Physiotherapists may show exercises to improve the strength of muscles that support the joint. These exercises can include dynamic movements and weight-bearing exercises. In addition, a sling can be used during the early stages of recovery to immobilize the shoulder and allow the ligaments to heal in a more natural position.
The most common type is AC joint or separation injury. This happens when the ligaments linking the acromion with the collarbone are torn or strained. Symptoms of AC joint separation include pain in the shoulder, bruising, and swelling. The condition is treated with a variety of techniques by physiotherapists, including ultrasound, TENS, acupuncture, and shoulder taping.
The first step in treating an AC joint injury is to make sure the patient is taken care of. Physiotherapists will demonstrate to the patient how they can strengthen the muscles supporting the AC joint. They will also help the patient maintain good posture and relieve any injured muscles.
The shoulder should be kept in a sling during the first two weeks. You should not use any external resistance during this period. The sling can then be taken off once the shoulder pain is gone. The sling will allow injured ligaments to heal in an easier, more natural position, even though this can be painful.
The physiotherapist can show patients how to strengthen their muscles and reduce the load on the AC joint when the shoulder is fully functional. Sometimes, a postural brace is also recommended.
While the shoulder is resting, the surgeon will place a strip of support tape on the front of the shoulder, and pass it down the side of the arm. Once the tape is in place, the surgeon will trim the lower part of the tape away. The surgeon then passes the tape back up the shoulder and continues to the top. You can also reduce pain by applying a cold or ice compress.
For the treatment of an AC joint separation, a rigid sling should be worn in conjunction with shoulder taping. The surgeon may recommend a sling that can be worn for up to 4 weeks, depending on the severity and extent of the injury.
