Labral injuries refer to damage or tears in the labrum, which is a ring of cartilage that lines and stabilizes certain joints in the body, such as the shoulder and hip. The labrum provides additional support to the joint, increasing its stability and allowing smooth movement. These injuries commonly occur due to trauma, repetitive movements, or degenerative changes over time.
Labral Injuries
Labral injuries commonly present with symptoms such as persistent joint pain, often described as a deep, achy sensation in the affected joint, such as the shoulder or hip. Individuals may experience limited range of motion, making certain movements challenging or uncomfortable, along with joint stiffness, particularly after periods of inactivity or rest. Swelling in the affected joint may also be observed. During movement, they may notice a clicking or popping sensation in the joint, and some individuals may feel a sense of joint instability or “catching” during certain activities. Hip pain when walking and shoulder pain with overhead movements are also common indicators of labral injuries.
At Functional Restoration Institute, we focus on long-term relief and optimizing joint function for labral injuries. Through thorough examination, we tailor personalized treatment plans addressing the underlying cause. Addressing the entire kinetic chain reduces stress on the labrum. Utilizing fascial manipulation optimizes tissue tone around the affected area, promoting better healing and joint function. Neuromuscular rehabilitation improves joint coordination, stability, and activates surrounding soft tissues and muscles. Additionally, joint pumping exercises enhance blood flow to the affected joint, supporting the healing process. Clinical grade nutraceuticals promote cartilage health and joint repair. Our integrated approach comprehensively addresses labral injuries, providing effective tools for lasting relief and improved joint health.
