Understanding Labral Injuries

About Labral injury, the labrum is a crucial componene of the shoulder that helps with stabiling the joint. When this structure becomes damaged, it can lead to persistent pain and joint instability. Labral injuries frequently affect:

 

• Athletes involved in throwing sports (baseball, cricket)
• Weightlifters performing overhead presses
• Manual workers with repetitive lifting demands
• Individuals who have experienced shoulder dislocations

Without proper care, labral tears often worsen over time, potentially leading to chronic shoulder instability and arthritis.

Causes and Symptoms of Labral Injuries

Primary Causes

1. Acute Trauma

   • Shoulder dislocations from falls onto arms or after collisions
   • Sudden jerking motions (e.g., catching a heavy object)
   • Direct impacts during contact sports

2. Repetitive Stress

   • Years of overhead throwing in sports
   • Weightlifting with improper form
   • Occupational overhead work (construction, painting)

3. Natural Degeneration

   • Age-related wear of the labral tissue
   • Progressive joint laxity over time

Common Symptoms

• Deep shoulder pain during specific movements
• Clicking, popping, or grinding sensations
• Feeling of instability or “looseness” in the joint
• Weakness when lifting or carrying objects
• Night pain that disrupts sleep
• Limited range of motion, especially when reaching behind
