A tennis shoulder injury can be caused by the repeated amount of stress that is exerted on the shoulder due to serving and other tennis strokes. Overuse injuries like tennis shoulder, bursitis, and rotator cuff strains can usually be treated with a nonsurgical shoulder treatment like pharmacological therapy, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory injections, and viscosupplementation. In severe cases, shoulder arthroscopy may be necessary to repair labral tears or rotator cuff tears.
Signs that you may require tennis shoulder treatment include:
- Pain or soreness in the shoulder during or after a match
- Shoulder instability or weakness
- “Dead arm” syndrome, which is a feeling that your arm is too heavy to lift
- A popping or grinding sensation in the shoulder joint
- Numbness or tingling that radiates down the arm
