Shoulder Pain Palma de Mallorca
Tendonitis, bursitis, impingement syndrome. Shockwave, PRP, ultrasound. English-speaking orthopaedic specialist Dr. Diedrich, 20+ years. Conservative care.
Diagnosing shoulder pain includes specific tests for the rotator cuff, stability and range of motion. Ultrasound visualises tendons and bursae. MRI is required for rotator cuff tears or labral injuries.
We perform impingement tests, strength assessment of individual rotator cuff muscles and stability testing for the shoulder joint. A thorough clinical examination often provides a clear diagnosis before any imaging is needed.
Our goal is to avoid shoulder surgery whenever possible. The majority of shoulder problems respond well to conservative treatments.
Shockwave therapy is excellent for calcific tendinitis. PRP stimulates healing of partial rotator cuff tears. Cryotherapy reduces inflammation and pain rapidly.
Ultrasound-guided injections deliver medication precisely to the affected area. Physiotherapy with targeted strengthening exercises restores shoulder function and prevents recurrence.
Shoulder Specialist in Palma de Mallorca
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body and therefore prone to injury. At our practice in Palma we treat everything from tendinitis to rotator cuff tears with a conservative approach that avoids surgery in the majority of cases.
Common Shoulder Conditions
- Rotator cuff tendinitis: Inflammation of the stabilising tendons
- Calcific tendinitis: Calcium deposits in the tendons
- Subacromial bursitis: Inflamed bursa beneath the acromion
- Rotator cuff tears: Partial or complete tendon rupture
- Frozen shoulder: Adhesive capsulitis with severe stiffness
- Recurrent dislocations: Instability of the shoulder joint
Shockwave Therapy for Calcific Tendinitis
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is our first-line treatment for calcific tendinitis. It fragments calcium deposits and stimulates the body's natural healing response. Most patients notice significant improvement after 3–5 sessions.
PRP: Regenerative Medicine for Tendons
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses growth factors from your own blood to accelerate tendon healing. Injected under ultrasound guidance directly into the lesion, it is particularly effective for partial rotator cuff tears and chronic tendinitis.
Cryotherapy for Shoulder Inflammation
Whole-body cryotherapy at -110°C is an excellent complement to other treatments. It significantly reduces inflammation, provides immediate pain relief and accelerates recovery for athletes and non-athletes alike.
Minimally Invasive Arthroscopy
When surgery is necessary, arthroscopy allows tendon repair through minimal incisions. Recovery is far quicker than with open surgery, and Dr. Diedrich designs individualised rehabilitation programmes for each patient and sport.
