Labral Tears Treatment

A labral tear can cause deep shoulder pain, instability, and a catching sensation that interferes with sports and daily activities. Dr. Sanjay Rawat offers specialized labral tear treatment in Indore, combining precise diagnosis with both non-surgical and arthroscopic surgical options.

About Labral Tears Treatment

The labrum is a ring of cartilage that deepens the shoulder socket and helps keep the joint stable. Tears can occur from a single traumatic event, such as a dislocation or fall, or from repetitive overhead motion common in throwing sports. Depending on location, labral tears are classified as SLAP tears or Bankart lesions, each affecting shoulder stability and function differently. Accurate diagnosis is essential since labral tears often coexist with other shoulder injuries.

Symptoms of Labral Tears Treatment

• Deep shoulder pain, often with overhead activity
• Clicking, popping, or catching sensations
• A feeling of shoulder instability or looseness
• Reduced strength and throwing velocity in athletes
• Pain with specific rotational shoulder movements
